The truth about gum disease and Alzheimer's, with Dr Victoria Sampson

How much attention do you pay to your oral health? Functional dentist Dr Victoria Sampson joins Liz on this episode to reveal why changing how we care for our teeth and gums can have a huge impact on our long-term health.


Victoria and Liz discuss the chronic health conditions that gum disease increases the risk of - including Alzheimer’s, cancers, and diabetes - and the key signs of a poor oral microbiome.


They also cover how menopause impacts the mouth, simple daily strategies that can improve your oral health (including how to floss properly!), and whether we should avoid fluoride in our dental care products.
