In this episode of Straight Up With Steph, I’m joined by returning guest and online dental educator Whitney, also known as Teeth Talk Girl, to discuss the spread of dental health misinformation on social media.

Together, Whitney and I dive into all the “natural” dental trends and how we can separate dental fact from fiction. We play a rapid-fire round debunking common dental myths, discuss the science behind fluoride and dental x-rays, and talk through ways clinicians can compassionately communicate evidence-based recommendations to patients without shaming them.
