Dental Hygiene Dental Public Health Oral Medicine
Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. For decades, Lots of studies have shown smoking is harmful to your health, but when it comes to vaping, manufacturers aren't disclosing what they are actually putting in the liquid, so it's anybody's guess what the long-term effects are. Today we'll be discussing how most vape liquid contains chemicals that can potentially lead to some very serious health issues, including addiction, cancer and xerostomia. And, let's not forget the increased risk for tooth decay as a result of the vaporized liquid entering the mouth. Our guest is Shannon Nanne, a Registered Dental Hygienist who's mission is to help reduce the incidence, morbidity, and mortality of oral cancer through the education of health care professionals. She’s authored a variety of articles in numerous publications and is a Key Opinion Leader for several companies educating thousands of dental and medical professionals.
