Have you ever wondered:
🤔 Does your retainer smell?
🤔 Is your retainer causing bad breath?
🤔 Could your cleaning routine be damaging your oral appliance?
I answer these questions and more in the latest short episode of my podcast.

In this episode you’ll learn:
🎧 Why cleaning oral appliances matters for your health and appliance longevity
🎧 How to tell when retainers or other devices aren’t clean
🎧 The pros and cons of ultrasonic cleaners
🎧 How retainer care affects the oral microbiome
Give it a listen and tell me what you think of the “Small Bites” format—short, focused episodes designed to deliver practical tips you can use right away.
About the oral microbiome: Dr. Staci and I are excited by the response to our Oral Microbiome Reset program. We will soon offer continuing education (CE) credits for dentists and hygienists who complete the program. If you’re a dental professional interested in training in this emerging area, reply to this message to let me know.
If you’re not a dental professional and just want practical, evidence-informed guidance for your own oral health, we encourage you to sign up for the program. Participants receive monthly Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Staci and me, and newsletter subscribers get a discount using the code MONDAY.
Have a great week,
