Bulletproof Hygiene Podcast Episode 137   HOST: Charissa Wood, RDH  GUEST: Dr. Dave Vigerust     TAKEAWAYS Focusing on determining the treatment plan based on the damage that has already occurred, rather than the initial causes of that damage. Simply Perio provides comprehensive insights beyond bacterial pathogens, allowing us to understand the broader context and optimize patient care strategies. An anomaly recently linked to colorectal cancer has been identified as one of the factors contributing to disease. Charles Mayo, co-founder of the Mayo Clinic, once highlighted that the future of medicine lay in the hands of dentists.
