In our conversation, we explore: The roles of fluoride and nano-hydroxyapatite in strengthening and protecting teeth. The connection between hormonal imbalances, mental health, and dental health. How your teeth can reveal signs of broader health issues. It’s a fascinating discussion on how everything in the body is deeply interconnected – one you won’t want to miss!
