We have been told most of our hygiene lives that palatal expansion is just for kids... Well on the episode today we have Renata Nehme, RDH who is very much an adult who decided to fix her malocclusion through the use of a palatal expander. It took 6 screws and vigilant turning but the results are in. Be sure to listen to how not only her maxilla changed but several other facial features!

This is a bonus episode featuring Dr. Bill Paveletz in partnership with VOCO and we talk about the many issues we see in our elderly patients. The points he makes about dry mouth, recession, and other issues hold true for many of our patients regardless of their age so his advice will ring true for all clinicians. Listen in to hear what he feels are important factors to focus on.

Thank you to Erika Flateau for cohosting this and really making a great connection with Dr. Bill. And of course, thanks to VOCO for sponsoring Dr. Bill on the show.

This week we did a flip-a-roo and Andrew will be doing Fast Facts and Katrina's Fast Fact episode will be next week for the Wednesday episode.

In this episode Andrew recounts a conversation he had with a friend about if we are selling our patient's a lie when we keep hammering away to 'brush and floss' more for perio patients. What steps can we take to adjust homecare habits? How can we be collaborative in our approach? How can we use brushing and flossing as a 1st step and build from there?

In this week's TIPisode we introduce Chassidy Cassady, RDH who gives us incredible insight into helping us become part of the renal team.

This week she discusses:

• Who is the nephrologist?
• Where do you go for dialysis?
• How many days a week is your treatment?
• on what days is your treatment?
• When was your last treatment?
• Do you premed or did you premed?
