#298 How to Reduce Inflammation with Dental and Oral Care | Dr Victoria Sampson

We brush our teeth every day. It’s one of those things we do without thinking. But your mouth is doing so much more than just housing your teeth. It has a strong link with protecting your heart, avoiding type 2 diabetes and even potentially preventing dementia.


In fact having a regular hygienist appointment can improve your blood sugar levels and significantly reduce inflammation in the body.


Flossing, brushing properly and even tongue scraping is far more than keeping your teeth looking spick and span, it’s critical to keeping inflammation in balance which could extend to longevity benefits. But what about fluoride in toothpaste, mouth washes, antibacterial gums and prebiotic flossing?


Today, I’m joined by Dr Victoria Sampson - a functional dentist and researcher who’s changing how we think about oral health. She’s helping us understand that the mouth isn’t separate from the rest of the body, it’s also where chronic disease shows up.


Today we’ll discuss:


👄 The 5 signs your mouth is trying to tell you about your health

🧠 What your oral health reveals about your brain, heart and gut

🦷 How to care for your mouth in under 5 minutes a day

👩🏽‍⚕️ The daily routine a dentist wants you to follow

💦 Why saliva is much more important than you think

🔬Whether we should be testing our ‘oral microbiome’?


We’ll also talk about why I’m going to be adding propolis, mouth taping, chewing gum and tongue scraping to my regime. If you’re interested in learning more about Dr Victoria’s clinic and tests, check the show notes or head to https://thslabs.co.uk
