Often considered an afterthought, mouth health is actually mission-critical to overall health, influencing everything from cardiovascular health to immune function. This goes way beyond the traditional brush-floss directive we have all been taught.
In this episode of Too Cool for Midlife, oral hygiene meets holistic health. Barbara Tritz, biological dental hygenist, shares about the often-overlooked role the mouth plays in our overall health, diving into many important facets, from what bleeding gums say about you to steps to minimize your risk of neurotoxin exposure, the connection between airways and menopause, and so much more.
Episode Highlights Include:
- Why brushing is only HALF the battle (and why not all toothpaste is created equal)
- To floss or not to floss
- The benefits of ozone therapy
- Importance of nose breathing at night and how to mouth tape
- The menopause, sleep, and airway connection
- The three things that contribute to dental disease
