Solving the Dental Crisis in the United States
In this video, I share a new initiative I have developed as part of my doctoral research at George Washington University. We are tackling a major issue in the dental field-the fragmented education pathways for dentists, dental hygienists, and dental therapists. These divisions significantly impact access to care and professional dynamics within the industry.
I have designed a tiered educational model that unifies these pathways, allowing professionals to progress from an associate degree to a doctorate. This model aims to increase the number of midlevel providers, such as dental therapists, who are essential in addressing the growing disparities in oral healthcare. If you wonder how dental therapy works or why it has not gained wider acceptance in the U.S., this video offers insights and solutions.
Some of the common questions we address in this video include:
What is a dental therapist, and how do they differ from a dentist or dental hygienist?
Why is dental therapy crucial for improving access to care in underserved communities?
How would a tiered educational model benefit both providers and patients?
What are the challenges in implementing a unified educational system in dentistry?
How can midlevel providers like dental therapists reduce healthcare costs and expand preventive care?
I will discuss how this new model could reshape dental education, improve access to care, and reduce systemic barriers in both education and healthcare. I also introduce a concept map that outlines the benefits of this tiered system, including its impact on affordability, access to care, and collaboration between dental professionals.
If you are a stakeholder in education, healthcare, or dental policy, this video is for you. Even if you are simply curious about the future of dental care, feel free to listen in and ask questions.

    On your toothbrush recommendation list, it says that the oral b IO does not oscillate. However the product description on the oral b website says that it does indeed oscillate along with vibrations.

    • @DentistrywithDerik
      @DentistrywithDerik 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      My recommendation list says it does not rotate (i.e. rely on spinning for its mode of action). The iO’s sonic function uses micro-vibrations, but because it has a round head, these vibrations result in micro-oscillations-similar to how a Sonicare’s sonic vibrations are sometimes described as “strokes” due to its rectangular shape. This is a common question, so I’ll create a video to demonstrate the differences.

    • @DentistrywithDerik
      @DentistrywithDerik 28 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Those are great questions: I wouldn’t say one is better than the other, but they are better for certain patients depending on the size of their teeth and their mouth. The technique is the same for any sonic brush, since the IO is sonic, you would use the same technique as a Sonicare. The nice thing about the IO is the very visual pressure sensor - it’s helpful for aggressive brushers.

    I struggle with the plaque behind my front bottom teeth with the Sonicare, while the Oral B does a good job of breaking it up. It was even more obvious when I had a bottom retainer. Other points not noted in the video: the Oral B brush heads don't physically move, so if you nudge up against one of your teeth with it, you don't get the abrupt chatter like with the Sonicare. Also, Sonicare brush heads are expensive.
