In this episode of The DrBicuspid.com Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Kevin Henry speaks with Dr. Juan Yepes, MPH, MS, DrPH, about X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), a genetic condition affecting phosphate retention in the body.
Yepes emphasizes the importance of recognizing the signs of XLH in dentistry, particularly the occurrence of dental abscesses without decay. Dentists play a crucial role detecting XLH early and referring patients for further medical evaluation and care. The conversation highlights how education can help dental professionals spot XLH early and ensure good outcomes for patients.
