Send me a message, I’d love to hear from you!

In this episode of Straight Up With Steph, Stephanie sits down with a former military dental hygienist (who has chosen to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of her previous employment) to share an inside look at how dental care works within the military system.

This open and informative conversation explores how the military dental model operates — from patient classifications and readiness requirements to the structure of the Prophy Tech (X2) program that inspired today’s Oral Preventive Assistant (OPA) discussions.

You’ll learn:

• How dental care is structured within the military
• What “readiness” means and how it guides patient care
• The training and responsibilities of Prophy Techs (X2s)
• Benefits and challenges of this system
• How this model influences the future of dental care access
  

➡️ Tune in for a balanced look at the military dental system — and what we can learn from it as the OPA model continues to evolve.
