Are Your Gums Making You Sick? Find Out NOW! | Goldy's Closet EPS #250 Dr Miles Madison Part I

In this episode of Goldy's Closet, host Goldy Locks discusses the often-overlooked topic of oral health with Dr. Madison, a periodontist from the Beverly Hills Periodontal Institute. They explore the importance of oral hygiene, the role of dentists in preventative care, and the impact of gum disease on overall health. Dr. Madison shares best practices for maintaining oral health, including the significance of brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits. The conversation also touches on the misconceptions surrounding mouthwash and the importance of understanding the relationship between oral health and systemic health. Oral health is crucial for overall health and wellness. Preventative care is preferred over treating complications. Gum disease can lead to tooth loss and systemic inflammation. Regular dental visits are essential for maintaining oral health. Flossing is necessary to clean between teeth effectively. Not all mouthwashes are beneficial; some can be harmful. Healthy gums contribute to longevity and overall well-being. Education through social media can reach millions and promote health. Dentists aim to prevent issues rather than treat them after they arise. Understanding the connection between oral health and the gut microbiome is vital.
