Show Notes:   This week, on the Protecting our Public Health Podcast, Sharity welcomes Dr. Matt Allen back to the show to continue their discussion about Health Equity and to focus on tools that can be used by the oral health care team to address this equity.   Episode Highlights:   Dr. Allen’s review of the philosophy behind health equity ‘Equity’ and ‘equality’ ‘Motivational interviewing’ and ‘shared decision making’ ‘Cure’ and ‘Care’   Quotes:   “That word ‘equality’ has lots of different meanings.”   “Respect for the autonomy of the other person.”   “’Cure’ is impatient sometimes and it kind of addresses the outcome, whereas ‘care’ kind of addresses the process, and simply being with people and that can be really healing…’cure’ can become offending instead of liberating.”   “What really will guide us towards what is going to be a successful outcome for someone is their values and their preferences.”   “They might be making a decision that’s different than one that we might make, but is that helping that person flourish?”   “Finding a different framework in which we can operate that will help us say ‘I can let go’…that is an important thing for us as practitioners as well.”   Links: The Dental Podcast Network Channel One homepage: http://dentalpodcastnetworkchannelone.otcpn.libsynpro.com/ The Dental Podcast Network Channel Two homepage: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dental-podcast-networks-channel-two/id1478530429   M David MI homepage:   http://mdavidmi.com/   Matt’s email:   matt@mdavidmi.com
