This week on Dentistry Unmasked, we cover Brian’s all-time favorite topic… saliva.
Pam and Brian sit down with Dr. Paul Slowey—the innovator behind many of the salivary diagnostic tests transforming health care today. He’s the mind behind cutting-edge saliva tests, including the one used by the NFL to help determine whether a player has suffered a concussion.
But that’s just the beginning.
What if we told you that Alzheimer’s disease can be detected in saliva up to 10 years before clinical symptoms appear? The implications for dentistry—and for health care as a whole—are staggering.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
• How salivary diagnostics are changing medicine and dentistry
• Why saliva may be the most underutilized diagnostic tool in health care
• The science behind concussion testing through saliva
• What early Alzheimer’s detection could mean for patients and practices
• Why the future of precision health may start in the dental chair
Salivary diagnostics isn’t just “the future”—it’s already here. If you’ve ever wondered how dentistry fits into the larger medical landscape, this episode will change the way you see the power of a simple saliva sample.
Trust us—Brian is excited about this one and you will be too!
