The Price of Neglect: How Ignoring Prevention Costs Us

I am SO excited to have Dr. Susan Maples on the show with me today! As an author, speaker, and dentist practicing total health dentistry, she has a lot of first-hand experience with the ups and downs (mostly downs) of the dental insurance industry. In this episode, Susan and I talk about how critical prevention is in patient care, but how little the current insurance, dental, and medical systems prioritize it. While reactive care—like performing a root canal—only happens once in a while, the ROI on prioritizing preventative care—the lifestyle changes that could've prevented the tooth's decay in the first place—vastly reduces the overall cost of care for patients and providers, both dental and medical. In that vein, we also chat about a more holistic approach to dentistry, how important it is to get to the root of what's truly causing a dental or oral issue with a patient, and why we need to start—figuratively!—putting the mouth back in the body when considering healthcare.
