Trust comes up again and again on the ADHA26 exhibit floor, from spotting a patient in danger to recommending fluoride with confidence. Live from Fort Worth, dental hygienist and licensed professional counselor Kandice Swarthout explains how to recognize the signs of human trafficking in the dental chair and why survivors most want dignity and a resource on hand. Deland Basora and Andrea Johnson of Crest + Oral-B preview the 30th anniversary of their continuing education program and trade favorite Oral-B iO features. Amber Mendoza of Heartland Dental asks how new technology and AI will realistically fit into a packed Monday morning schedule. Erin Haley-Hitz of Solventum shows how caries risk assessment turns a fluoride recommendation into comprehensive care, no sales pitch required. Insurance determines reimbursement. Risk determines clinical need.
