<p>Periodontal disease affects one billion people worldwide with severe disease, and in the U.S., prevalence has risen 25 percent over the past three decades. So why isn't the needle moving? Matt sits down with Dr. JoAnn Gurenlian, ADHA's director of education, research and advocacy, and Dr. Ann Eshenaur Spolarich, assistant dean for research at the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health at A.T. Still University, to dig into ADHA's new white paper on periodontal disease prevention. They cover the P4 care model, the evidence behind antiseptic mouth rinse, emerging diagnostic technologies, CDT coding for preventive services and what it really looks like to move from telling patients what to do to actually partnering with them in their care. This episode and its companion white paper were developed with support from LISTERINE.</p><p></p><p>Guests: JoAnn Gurenlian, RDH, MS, PhD, AAFAAOM, FADHA and Ann Eshenaur Spolarich, RDH, PhD, FSCDH</p><p>Host: Matt Crespin, MPH, RDH, FADHA</p><p></p><p>ADHA White Paper: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.adha.org/rinse-resource-center/white-paper-highlights/" target="_blank">https://www.adha.org/rinse-resource-center/white-paper-highlights</a></p><p><br />Rinse Resource Center: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.adha.org/rinse-resource-center/" target="_blank">https://www.adha.org/rinse-resource-center/</a><br /></p><p>ADHA Advocacy: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.adha.org/advocacy/" target="_blank">https://www.adha.org/advocacy/</a></p><p></p>
