In this episode of the Truly Healthy MD Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Tom Larkin, an innovator in preventive and holistic dentistry. We explore how oral health is profoundly connected to the rest of the body, why bleeding gums are never just about your teeth, and how a proactive approach can transform not just your smile but your long-term health.
Dr. Larkin shares how he uses tools like chairside microscopes and salivary diagnostics to help patients see and understand their oral microbiome. We also dive into cutting-edge treatments—from ozone therapy and probiotics to revolutionary prebiotic lozenges that rebalance oral bacteria without chemicals.
Whether you struggle with gum disease, snoring, or simply want to prevent chronic inflammation, this conversation will open your eyes to the power of truly comprehensive dental care.

I sit down with Dr. Tom Larkin, a leader in preventive dentistry, to uncover the powerful ways your mouth impacts your overall health.
Dr. Larkin explains why bleeding gums, oral infections, and airway disturbances are more than dental concerns—they are major drivers of inflammation and chronic disease.
We discuss his pioneering approach that includes:
Visualizing the oral microbiome with a microscope right in the dental chair
Using salivary PCR tests to identify hidden pathogens
Treating infections with ozone therapy and supporting a healthy microbiome with probiotics and cutting-edge prebiotics
Dr. Larkin also shares how bio-restorative dental therapies can stop decay before it starts and why personalized care is the future of dentistry.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
