How to Improve Oral Health & Its Critical Role in Brain & Body Health

In this episode, I discuss the importance of oral health for dental
and microbiome health and general physical and mental well-being. I
explain science-supported protocols for strengthening your teeth
and gums, including how to remineralize your teeth. I cover the
best approaches and timing for brushing and flossing, tongue, gum,
and oral microbiome care and how oral health is critically
important to offset metabolic, cardiac, and brain diseases,
including dementia. I also discuss proper nutrition for oral
health, fluoride, and how sugar and mouth breathing can accelerate
tooth decay. This episode ought to be of interest to everyone
seeking to improve their physical health, mental health, and
lifespan, given the critical role that oral health plays in all of
these. Read the full show notes for this episode at
