Quotes
"Hygienists are in the unique position to prevent decay rather than repair it after the damage is already done."
"Hygienists spend the most time with patients in the dental office, this is valuable time where you can offer guidance for patients to manage their own oral care."
"These agents are broad spectrum and also kill the good bacteria."
"Povidone-iodine reduces glucan production significantly which in turn reduces the ability to create polysaccharides and therefore makes plaque less sticky."
