Functional dentist Dr. Mark Burhenne wants you to forget what you think you know about oral health. With 35 years of clinical experience, Mark is passionate about educating the industry and the public about the vital importance of functional dentistry to our overall health. Known internationally as Dr. B, Mark is one of the world’s leading authorities in functional dentistry, is the author of ‘The 8-Hour Sleep Paradox’, and has a huge Instagram following on his page @askthedentist, where he shares game-changing tips on how best to care for our health via our mouths. 

In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Burhenne shares his insights into how the influence of our oral microbiome has been underestimated for way too long, and how a healthy mouth will help us age better. 

In this episode we ask the question, could the health of our oral microbiome be a crucial piece of the aging well puzzle?
