The Silent Disease We’re Missing: Osteoporosis & Bone Health (Part 2) w/ Kristin Evans

Osteoporosis doesn’t start with a fracture — but too often, that’s when it’s finally discovered. In Part 2 of this two-part Heart of Dentistry Podcast series, Jamie Marboe continues the conversation with Kristin Evans, RDH, focusing on prevention, risk factors, and what dental professionals and patients can do next when it comes to bone health.
