How does oral health affect your entire body? What is the oral microbiome, and how can oral bacteria trigger inflammation beyond your mouth? In this episode, we spoke to Nammy Patel, DDS, holistic dentist and leader of Green Dentistry, to dive into how gum disease impacts chronic conditions and autoimmune health. We also explore myths about oral health, the effects of smoking, pregnancy-related dental changes, and warning signs that mean it’s time to see your dentist. Plus, we discuss dental care disparities and share resources to help you protect both your smile and overall wellness.
