“We need to look at the patient as a whole and look at what caused that disease.” -Dr. Kim Kutsch
That’s the way we’ve always done it.
How often have you heard that phrase in dentistry? While there may be some things to be said for doing things how you’re supposed to, when you’re not seeing the results, it’s time for a new strategy. Dr. Kim Kutsch, founder of CariFree, applies this mentality to the health of his patients.
He was doing everything he knew how to do. His patients were doing everything he wanted them to. And they were still fighting decay.
“If we’ve been doing things like this for 60 years and we are still seeing these issues, there’s got to be a better way,” says Dr. Kutsch.
“We need to do more than just treat the results of the disease. We need better outcomes of our treatments. As a profession, we need to go to the root cause of the disease for the health of our patients.”
We love to make your life easier! Join us today with the first part of our conversation with Dr. Kim Kutsch as we challenge the status quo by uncovering:
