{"id":197,"name":"Carey Duraiappa RDH","url":"","description":"Carey has been a dental hygienist for 25 years and while she has practiced clinical dental hygiene the entire time, she also has 12 years of experience in practice management. However, her heart has always been with direct patient care. Carey has been with Pacific Dental Services for nearly 2 years now, and feels very fortunate to be with a company who truly cares about and understands the mouth body connection. Being able to offer saliva testing has been a game changer for her and her patients. Carey states: \u201cThere are really two enemies in periodontal disease, the bacteria and our body's response to it. We are so fortunate to have a test that will tell us both of those things. It also makes it so much more relatable to the patient and they can see their progress.\u201d\r\n\r\nCarey likes to spend her spare time with her family, especially her children. Her oldest daughter, Savanna, teaches animal science in Lamar, Colorado. Her husband, Skyler, is a cattle rancher, and they are expecting their first child in January. Carey\u2019s daughter, Isabelle, just graduated from NDSCS, Carey's alma mater, and is working as an RN for Sanford in Fargo, ND.  Her son Lucca is 14 and in his first year of high school. He joined the marching band this year and enjoys sailing and golf in the summer. Carey\u2019s youngest son, Aiden, is 13 and in his last year of middle school. Golf is his passion, and he would love to do that every day of the year.","link":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/index.php\/author\/carey-duraiappa-rdh\/","slug":"carey-duraiappa-rdh","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/955b45edb60b55fa3ff9c533e51e61fb?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/955b45edb60b55fa3ff9c533e51e61fb?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/955b45edb60b55fa3ff9c533e51e61fb?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/197"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oraldna.com\/trends-in-salivary-testing\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
