Could the health of your teeth be the key to protecting your brain? In this episode, I interview Dr. Paul O'Malley, a pioneer in biological dentistry, to discuss the fascinating connection between oral health and brain health. We explore how the health of your teeth, gums, and jaw can impact neuroinflammation, Alzheimer's risk, and overall cognitive function. 

Dr. O'Malley shares the groundbreaking work he's doing with biomimetic dentistry and emphasizes the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene and the role of oral bacteria in cognitive function. With insights on natural remedies like probiotics and essential oils, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in a holistic approach to brain health.

Dr. O'Malley’s passion for education and his commitment to improving patient care make this episode a valuable resource. Tune in to learn how you can take charge of your oral health and, ultimately, protect your brain.
