07. It’s all about the BIOFILM (and microbiological saliva testing) with Kate Phillips and Karen Lam

With the rate of periodontal disease in adults in excess of 50% and now with the added knowledge of the dangers of chronic inflammatory oral disease to systemic health, it is well past time to try a more comprehensive and proven approach.

Microbiological testing in dentistry has been around for decades. Unfortunately, it is poorly understood, and adaptation rates clinically are very low.

So why do we need to taking saliva samples? Why is it important for every dental hygienist/OHT to understand we are beyond just scraping and polishing teeth? And most importantly, what is the Larkin Protocol???!!

In this episode, Emma is joined by Kate Philips and Karen Lam who practice in the beautiful coastal town of Devonport in Tasmania, Australia and they are here to give you a crash course on the Larkin Protocol.

If you want to learn more about the future of microbiological testing in dentistry and how you can take your patient care to the next level and get the training yourself.

This conversation is going to get you thinking about how currently practice, listen in now!

HIGHLIGHTS:

- What is the Larkin Protocol and why saliva testing is so important

- Why dental professionals need to stop saying “scale and cleans”

- The importance of EFFECTIVE biofilm removal with the Airflow

- How you can become trained and practice with the Larkin Protocol
