Caitlin Parsons, RDH, C-IAYT, CEAS

Welcome Melissa Obrotka to the show today. On this episode, we talk about the health of dental hygiene, and what it means to embrace being a Healthcare Hygienist. Melissa shares her story of working in the dental industry for over 25 years, and we talk about minimally invasive therapies, and specifically, Guided Biofilm Therapy, or GBT,  by EMS.

Melissa A Obrotka, BA, RDH, has over 25 years of experience in the dental field and concentrated clinical experience with the dental implant patient population. 

Melissa’s core objectives for patient care are focused on a “wholestic” approach to dental prevention, disease remission, and therapies that encompass total body health and wellness. Her approach to patient care is focused on biofilm disruption strategies for periodontal and peri-implant health and longevity while providing healthcare advocacy to patients. In addition, 

Obrotka is a dental hygiene motivator, educator, podcast host, change agent, influencer, and industry thought leader. Obrotka serves as a clinical adjunct professor at Bergen Community College in New Jersey, where she elevated clinical education by instructing students on the oral microbiome and biofilm disruption and introduced the Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) methodology.
