Today I am going to talk to you about something very seemingly simple - water. Why should you listen to a dentist about drinking water? The obvious answer is fluoride in your water, which I am going to touch on. I will give you some hints on how to get rid of fluoride in your water, but today is about distilled water. I will talk about why we should be distilling water, and if not at least filtering. I’ll touch on why this is important and how it relates to your oral health.

When it comes to women’s health, we all know that it is often looked over. In a varsity team, all the information is out there on the field and sitting on the bench are very important studies and information about women. Another problem is that a lot of studies are biased towards men and their hormonal makeup and metabolic differences. Women and men are designed to do two different things and have unique health challenges. Today I’ll talk about fluoride, hormones, oral health, child rearing, and will answer some specific questions.
