Listen Later

Join the second part of Dr. Towfighi and Dr. Nath's discussion about chronic inflammation and how it impacts our overall health. Continuing on from Part I, Dr. Towfighi asks Dr. Nath how a dentist measures inflammation in the mouth. The doctors continue by discussing how dentists use this information to determine if a deep cleaning is needed or if a surgical procedure is the best course of action to help a patient.
