[FULL] Dr. Bruce Lee: “Gum Disease Is A Silent Killer”, The 2-2-2 Rule About Taking Care Of Your Dental/Oral Hygiene You Need To Know!

I’m going to come clean, literally. When I was young, I wasn’t paying enough attention to dental or oral hygiene as much as I do now, particularly because I never saw a dentist and I never needed one. And so I thought. It wasn’t until I came across this dentist on YouTube who said the bacteria in our mouth is enough to cause a heart attack that I started flossing and brushing with the correct methods.  Meeting Dr. Bruce Lee at the badminton court was probably one of the most important moments in my life. On and off the court, he showed me the right techniques because he is a nice guy! More importantly, he is just like you and me, who in this episode goes the extra mile to share with me everything you need to know to keep your mouth clean.
