Hygiene Happy Hour with Misty Mattingly and Ric Lazar
Live from RDH Under One Roof, it’s time to raise a glass, or a SmileSip, with the unforgettable Ric Lazar, founder of SmileSip and the proud torchbearer of a powerful legacy in oral health. In this energetic and heartfelt episode, Misty sits down with Ric to explore the inspiring story behind SmileSip, beginning with his father’s pioneering efforts to introduce fluoride into Australia’s water supply and continuing with Ric’s own mission to revolutionize oral and public health through innovation, education, and compassion.
The conversation touches on everything from the fluoride movement and the challenges of dry mouth to international oral health trends and Ric’s unexpected advocacy work supporting victims of domestic violence. Along the way, you’ll learn how SmileSip is turning hydration into a health habit, why dental hygienists across the country are becoming proud Sipsters, and how a simple drink can make a powerful difference.
This episode is packed with insight, laughter, and genuine purpose. Ric’s story is a reminder that real change often starts with a bold idea and a heart for helping others. As he says, it’s not a treat, it’s a treatment.
