Functional Dentistry with Dr Carla Pontes, building a healthy oral microbiome, gum disease and the connection between the mouth and the rest of the body.

This conversation with the knowledgable and accomplished Dr Carla Pontes takes us on a journey to understanding the importance of the connection between the mouth and the body. Carla teaches us about gum disease and how caring for our gums reduces our risk for almost every chronic disease. This conversation invites the collaboration between medical and dental specialists for more holistic oversight of human wellbeing. Carla educates us on how much toothpaste to use, we discuss the fluoride debate and just exactly how you should be caring for your and your children's mouths.
