Summary
People want to talk about oral health the same way they want to talk about budgets: they know it's important, but BORING.
...But not when you have Teeth Talk Girl, Whitney DiFoggio!
ORAL HEALTH, BUT MAKE IT FUN...
The connection between our teeth, gums and the complex ecosystem within our mouths has the potential to lead to higher risks of diseases like dementia, Alzheimer's, heart disease, diabetes, even erectile dysfunction (!).
Diseases in the mouth can potentially spread to other parts of the body – a compelling reason to pay more attention to oral health. What if we could protect our guts and enhance our longevity through simple adjustments in our oral health care routine?
I'm having more fun than I should with this topic talking to Whitney Difoggio, also known as Teeth Talk Girl, as she tells us everything we need to know, what we've got wrong and what to do right!
