005 Reflection Health Podcast with Katy Cameron and Machell Hudson

In this week’s episode of the Reflection Health Podcast, Katy and Machell continue their series about ‘inflammation’ by looking at the prevention and treatment of oral inflammation.

 

Episode Highlights:

 

• Recognizing and healing wounds in the mouth

• Biofilms and bacterial disruption
• The importance of communicating with patients and having them ‘own’ prevention and treatment

 

Quotes:

 

 “It is absolutely impossible to talk treatment without discussing that systemic link.”

“Anytime you have inflammation, redness, bleeding, any of those things - that’s infection, that’s an open wound.”

“These biofilms are like ant hills.”

“You have to disrupt the biofilms everywhere each time.”

“That home care component is every bit if not more important than what we’re doing.”

“In a lot of people’s cases…their life is at risk!”

“Up to 50% of heart attack and stroke is due to oral pathogens.”

“Just start talking to your patients, just start communicating.”
