    Understanding biofilm in the oral environment is crucial for effective dental disease management. Diet plays a significant role in the development and maintenance of a healthy commensurate biofilm. Current dental practices, such as brushing and flossing, only temporarily disrupt biofilm and do not address the underlying issues. Dr. Emily Stein's Daily Dental Care offers a revolutionary approach to biofilm management, promoting a healthy oral microbiome and reducing bleeding and inflammation. The product is also available for pets, addressing their dental health needs.

Purposeful and Informative

I absolutely love this podcast! Every episode I listen to contains useful/new information that I am able to bring to my patients or my team. I love that it’s educational, honest and a not full of ads. You girls are shining a light on the fact that hygienist are not just “doing cleanings”, we are taking care of the entire patient.
