Show notes

I have often thought about what it must be like working in a perio practice. From start to finish, patient to clinician to insurance and more... it all must be so different. And what kinds of products do they recommend and what is on their tray? Also, how does the hygienist fit within the team? This week we caught up with Dr. Sam Low to discuss some of these topics while also chatting about what the outlook is for the RDH in dentistry, the RDH shortage and more.
