   81. Breathing Matters: Childhood Airway & Oral Health with Nateenee Langsanam @dentalonwheels

   In this episode, we're unpacking what orofacial myofunctional therapy actually is, and how things like breathing, sleep, oral habits and muscle function can all play a role in a child's development. We'll talk about some of the early signs that a child may be experiencing airway or breathing concerns - including symptoms that can easily be dismissed as just being “normal” childhood behaviour. We'll also explore mouth breathing, snoring and prolonged dummy use, and how these seemingly everyday habits can potentially impact things like sleep, behaviour, learning and development. Nateenee and I also dive into why early intervention matters, and the important role that oral health therapists and dentists can play in identifying these concerns before they become bigger problems. And if you're a parent listening today, don't worry - we've got you covered too!

   80. The Reality of Remote Dentistry: Volunteering , Community and Purpose with Kian, Nikhil & Raoul

   What if the most rewarding day of your dental career wasn’t in your own practice - but in a community hundreds of kilometres away, where simply showing up could change someone’s life? Welcome back to Talk Dental to Me - the podcast for dental professionals who want more than just the clinical stuff. This is the podcast where we explore the people, stories, and ideas shaping the future of dentistry. On this podcast, I’m joined by Dr Kian, Dr Nikhil, and Dr Raoul for a conversation that shines a light on a side of dentistry that many of us don’t get to see. Together, they’ve volunteered their time and skills to provide dental care in remote communities, working with patients who often have limited access to oral healthcare. I We’ll also talk about the challenges, the rewards, the importance of cultural awareness, and how volunteering has shaped not only their clinical skills, but also their perspectives on healthcare, service, and the role we can all play in improving access to care. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to volunteer in remote communities- or perhaps you’ve considered doing it yourself - this episode is full of honest insights, practical advice, and stories that I know will stay with you long after you’ve finished listening.

   79. Is It Time to Rethink Your Hygiene Protocol? | The Science, the Clinical Experience and why Guided Biofilm Therapy is Transforming Preventive Dentistry with Celso De Costa

   Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is changing the way many oral health therapists, dental hygienists and dentists approach prevention- but what is it, and why are so many clinicians making the switch? In this episode of Talk Dental To Me, I'm joined by Celso, Chief Marketing Officer at EMS Dental, for an open conversation about the evolution of preventive dentistry. I share my personal experience transitioning to the GBT protocol, why I decided to make the change, how it has transformed my appointments, and the impact I've seen on both patient experience and clinical outcomes. From there, Celso dives into the science behind Guided Biofilm Therapy - what it is, how it differs from traditional approaches to biofilm management, and why understanding the distinction matters for both clinicians and patients. Whether you're curious about implementing GBT in your practice, wanting to better understand the evidence behind the protocol, or simply interested in where preventive dentistry is heading, this episode will give you practical insights and plenty to think about. In this episode, we discuss: Why more clinicians are adopting Guided Biofilm Therapy What GBT actually is (and what it isn't) The key differences between traditional scaling and the GBT protocol How GBT can improve the patient experience Clinical workflow, efficiency and practice implementation Common misconceptions about GBT Practical advice for clinicians considering the transition Whether you're an Oral Health Therapist, Dental Hygienist, Dentist , Dental Therapist or Dental Student, this conversation will help you better understand one of the biggest shifts happening in preventive dentistry.
