Episode Highlights:
- Why tooth decay should be treated as a bacterial disease—not a drilling problem
- The importance of understanding why decay occurs, not just how to fix it
- Simple first steps to implement caries risk assessment in your practice
- How prevention-based care builds patient trust and practice growth
