Oral Health and Lungs

In this podcast, Dr Sam Kim explores the intimate relationship between oral health, lung disease and health of the whole human being.  In his interview of Dr Rachel Mascord, an outstanding dentist in Sydney, Australia, he again confirms the magnificence of wisdom and knowledge in dentistry is no different from that offered by the mainstream practice of Medicine. In the thirty years that Rachel has worked as a dentist, she has gained a degree of technical mastery that allows her to serve the physical needs of her patients. Central to her current and ever-developing service, she has through the gracious openness of her patients and their willingness to be honest about their lives, come to touch upon the wholistic nature of the human being and what oral health represents as part of each person’s entire life. This is an ever-present study in her clinical work. It not founded in knowing or in needing to know – we know so very little about what we are. Instead, it stands in absolute humbleness, and awe of the science that we are in Truth, and what this human body represents and means, in each of its parts and in the wholeness that takes in all that we are, not just those parts we can see, touch, measure and analyse.
