Episode 63: Desiccation Therapy in Dentistry: What You Need To Know

In this episode of Straight Up with Steph, I sit down with Annie to talk about desiccation therapy—a new approach in dentistry that can make calculus removal easier while targeting harmful biofilm. Annie shares how desiccants can streamline hygiene appointments, improve patient outcomes, and even benefit restorative procedures. If you’ve ever dreaded scaling those “sheet of calculus” patients, this might just change the game for you.
