Quotes:
“ I found that folks that were afraid, had really bad experiences when they were young”
“I read his research, and it guided my work throughout my career”
“Mothers who have healthy mouths, are less likely to have pregnancy complications”
“Moms have the ability to transmit these organisms through oral contact, even before they have teeth”
“If we help moms understand there are some simple things that can be done to ensure their child is healthier, and give moms options to choose these kind of things, and guide them and help them to do that, they will be more successful. The general rubric of that is called motivational interviewing”
“After two years of using this counseling approach, he had about 35% less tooth decay in the children in his study”
“I think the tendency is for us to deliver way too much information to people that may not be ready for it, or able to absorb that information”
“If we just used, what we’ve known how to do for 50 years, the children would be healthier”
