In this Episode of The Nourished Wrap Podcast, Katie & Jess sink their teeth into the world of oral hygiene & it’s relation to over all health. With special guest Dr Samantha Byrne, past dentist and now lecturer in oral microbiology & disease prevention at The University of Melbourne as well as having completed her PhD in Oral Microbiology these ladies discuss how tooth decay is a rampant problem in today’s world and the major cause that no one talks about... diet. Samantha shares her incredible knowledge with us about not only tooth decay but gum disease & it’s link to cardiovascular risks, the oral microbiota (this is an epic discussion, who would have thought there was a whole other world just in our mouths), how to prevent oral diseases and what the latest research is telling us in the area of microbiology & oral hygiene. Katie & Jess know the importance of our teeth being one of the very first key steps to effective digestion & with the gut being the epicentre to health they wanted to bring awareness to this topic. Samantha goes above & beyond with making this happen. Make sure you tune in for an interesting conversation & follow Samantha on Instagram @_the_tooth_fairy_ to be apart of the mission to lower Australian tooth decay statistics!
