We're joined by Emma Hutchison, our Protrusive Student, to talk about Perio. Look, I'm no periodontist. I'm no specialist, but I can share a few pearls of wisdom for treating Perio in the real world. [Jaz]Emma had some absolutely fantastic questions about protocols, communication, and what to do if you have a non engaging patient. Because let's face it, that's what happens in the real world. Our patients don't floss and they don't brush how well we want them to. So how do you manage that? Here at Protrusive Students we try and cover the themes just for you guys. And of course, if you're a dentist watching this, then it's also relevant to you. We just go back to basics. Let's get to the main part of the interview and I'll catch you in the outro. Main Episode:Emma Hutchison, our Protrusive Student. It's now perio month, so it's great to have you back. Just give us an update, basically, in terms of what new things have you learned at dental school? What are the interesting experiences that you've had? Any ups or downs that you'd like to share with us?
