Should we be using probiotics with all patients? Perhaps they are the new secret weapon for improving clinical outcomes and preventing disease. 

Let’s face it, many patients consider cost above all else when presented with perio treatment options. This is especially challenging when dental insurance does not cover what are considered adjunctive therapies, even though studies show that a combination of treatments is more effective in the long run. (link to study?)

In this episode, Irene and Vic discuss the valuable role of probiotics, or beneficial bacteria, in the perio treatment plan. Microscopic problems require microscopic solutions! Get ready to learn:

  • How to get patients to accept your treatment plan
  • Why dental coverage is getting worse (and how to get around this)
  • What the new standard should be for SRP appointments
  • The many benefits of oral probiotics and different methods of delivery
  • How to integrate them into your perio workflow
