#022 - The Dos & Don’ts of Oral Supplements REVEALED 🦷🔍

In the second part of this 4-part Mind Your Mouth episode, Dr. Maria Florou explores the critical role that vitamins, minerals, and supplements play in supporting natural oral health, cutting through common myths and marketing hype to reveal what actually works.

She explains how deficiencies in nutrients like Vitamin D, K2, magnesium, and CoQ10 can quietly undermine gum integrity, bone density, and immune resilience, while overuse of certain supplements may do more harm than good. You’ll learn how oral tissues respond to systemic nutrition, why timing and dosage matter, and how to build a targeted supplement routine that supports both prevention and healing.

Dr. Florou also shares clinical insights, patient stories, and evidence-based strategies for navigating the supplement aisle with confidence. Whether you're dealing with gum sensitivity, bone loss, or just want to future-proof your smile, this episode offers practical, science-backed guidance that goes far beyond toothpaste.
