In this episode of Straight Up With Steph, I sit down with Crystal Spring, dental hygienist, public health advocate, and founder of Smiles Across Montana. Crystal shares her journey of bringing minimally invasive dentistry to underserved communities and what it really takes to integrate medical and dental care.
We talk about:
- How SDF, glass ionomers, nanofluoride, and Curadont are changing dentistry
- The challenges and opportunities of working in public health and mobile care
- Why training nurses, assistants, and community health workers matters for access to care
- The debate around dental workforce shortages and expanding roles
- The importance of medical-dental integration for diabetes, airway health, and overall wellness
👉 Whether you’re curious about healing over drilling, expanding access to care, or how oral health ties to overall health, this episode is packed with insights.
