Episode Details

On this week's episode of Fast Facts - Perio Edition, Katrina Sanders, we are continuing the conversation that we started last week in discussing periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic disease highlighting familial and cyclic neutropenia!

Quotes: 

"These are individuals who experienced episodes of abnormally low white blood cells."

"It's important for us to understand that when patients present to our chairs, there is a possibility that these individuals may not know that they have this disease process."
