TIPisode Prevention With Povidone-Iodine Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

This week on A Tale of Two Hygienists TIPisode we are joined by Steve Pardue from Elevate Oral Care to talk about antiseptic and antimicrobial agents in dentistry highlighting Povidone-iodine and its properties that fight decay.

Episode Highlights

Antiseptic Agents
Povidone-iodine
Povi•OneTM

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."

"It doesn't matter what industry you are in, all of us women deal with the same ways of thinking."

"We need to take a stand collectively."

"We are all suffering in silence."

"If you give them too much change you are chastised."
