This week we are joined by the eminent Mia Geisinger, DDS, M.S.
Dr. Geisinger dives in deep, sharing with us the roots of her life in dentistry and the work she does today at the cutting edge of the dental industry. Dr. Geisinger is a treasure to the dental community (and somehow finds time to write poetry while working around the clock?!?) and an incredible advocate for female periodontists and women dentists. We are so happy to have her as a guest on this week's Tooth or Dare.
Mia talks us through the early days of calling EVERY periodontist in Manhattan before landing her first job in a periodontist’s office which would eventually lead to her high-level positions in the American Dental Association.
Dr. Geisinger shares a behind the scenes glimpse of how she and the ADA handled the initial wave of Covid 19 and created guidelines for dental offices that follow the CDC guidelines and how those guidelines have changed over time.
Irene shares her thoughts about protecting patients in the office by making thoughtful and informed choices outside of the office.
Mia’s current projects aim to answer a few questions such as:
