Ep.47, Dental Cavities Part 2...Minimally Invasive Dentistry, Dr. Doug Young


Listen Later

Drs. Stacy and Tracey meet today for a part 2 discussion with Dr. Doug Young.  They discuss the importance of fluoride in dental health, particularly its role in preventing tooth decay. They emphasized that fluoride is a key component in a "recipe" for maintaining oral health, encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria while inhibiting harmful ones.

The conversation also touched on the evolving guidelines from the American Dental Association (ADA) regarding caries management, suggesting that in some cases, it may be appropriate to leave certain decay untreated to avoid further complications, such as the need for root canals.

The discussion highlighted the need for public awareness about fluoride, particularly in light of debates over its use in water supplies. The speakers advocated for informed patient choices regarding fluoride use and the potential for minimally invasive dental treatments. This episode is significant as it addresses the intersection of dental health, patient autonomy, and the evolving standards of care in dentistry, encouraging a more holistic approach to oral health management.

Fluoride is considered the number one weapon against dental caries, with extensive research supporting its effectiveness in promoting the growth of good bacteria while discouraging harmful bacteria.

What are the recent ADA guidelines regarding caries removal mentioned in the podcast?
The 2023 ADA guidelines suggest either no caries removal at all, using treatments like silver diamine fluoride, or recognizing that some lesions may naturally arrest, questioning the necessity of drilling.

How does the podcast address the relationship between dental practices and systemic health issues?
The podcast highlights the need for dentists to treat disease rather than just perform drill-and-fill procedures, emphasizing the connection between oral health and systemic conditions like cardiovascular disease.

What is the podcast's stance on the public perception of fluoride and its various concentrations?
The podcast encourages public awareness about the different concentrations of fluoride, clarifying that while fluoride in water should be regulated, the fluoride used in dental products is safe and effective.
