In this episode, Jackie Sanders and Andrew Johnston sit down with Kristen Evans, RDH, to preview her presentation that she delivered at RDH Under One Roof this month where she explored the connection between airway health, hormone health, and skeletal integrity. Kristen shares the personal journey that led her to become an advocate for systemic bone health screening, discusses why dental professionals are uniquely positioned to identify patients at risk for osteoporosis and other chronic conditions, and offers an encouraging message for clinicians who aspire to write, speak, and contribute to the profession. The conversation also highlights the importance of perseverance, finding your unique voice, and trusting that the right opportunities often come with the right timing.
