Prolonged FieldCare Podcast 127: Austere Dentistry

In this podcast, Dennis and Berger Langda discuss austere dentistry, specifically how to handle dental emergencies in an austere environment. They discuss the importance of preventive preparation, such as motivating participants to have a dental checkup and using high fluoride toothpaste, as well as preparing oneself with an adequate dental kit. They also discuss common dental procedures and complaints that may arise in an austere environment, such as broken fillings and impacted wisdom teeth, and how to approach treating patients with limited time and resources. Finally, they touch on the importance of a team approach and distributing medications and antibiotics efficiently.
