Health begins in the mouth: An interview with functional dentist Debbie Ozment, DDS
Defiant Health Radio with Dr. William DavisAbout this episode
In this episode of Defiant Health, functional dentist Dr. Debbie Ozment shares her unique wisdom and experience in managing the oral microbiome with some surprising observations. Did you know that: Risk for colon cancer can begin with oral health and a specific microbial species? Bleeding gums are a red flag for health problems outside the mouth? Cognitive decline and dementia may also get their start in the oral microbiome? The key to oral health is to disrupt the biofilm of teeth? Most mouthwashes, because they indiscriminately eradicate microbes, good and bad, are known to raise blood pressure? Dr. Ozment is an advocate of combining oral microbe assessment with gastrointestinal microbe assessment to establish important connections.
