How much talk time do you get with your dentist?
Due to the constraints of modern healthcare, a typical dental consultation prioritizes treatment over advice. But your dentist knows more about your health than you think!
In this episode, Dr Zara Nortley, family dentist and advanced medical aesthetics practitioner, focuses where oral health meets whole-person health. Together with Dayo Akinrinade, Noom Vibe Founder and GM, they look beyond the common advice to brush your teeth twice a day, covering:
- The #1 factor that determines how long your natural teeth will last
The worst time to use mouthwash
Why you should care about your alveolar bone
Why when you eat sugar, matters more than how much
How aging and menopause impact oral health
