Dr Victoria Sampson is one of the world's leading experts in oral health and the oral microbiome.
She is an award-winning functional dentist and researcher, founder and CEO of THS Labs, serves on the Clinical Innovation Advisory Board at Harvard School of Dental Medicine and was the first dentist included in Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe in Healthcare & Science.
Her work is changing the way we think about our mouths.
Because oral health is not simply about clean teeth, cavities or bad breath.
What happens in our mouth affects the rest of our body.
In this episode, you will learn:
• Why you should spit, not rinse, after brushing your teeth and how to brush properly
• Why using mouthwash every day can disrupt your oral microbiome and what to do instead
• Why bleeding gums are not normal, what they reveal about inflammation and how to stop gum disease before the damage becomes irreversible
• How sugar, stress and genetics affect your risk of cavities and gum disease
• How to choose the right toothpaste, toothbrush and oral-health routine for your individual risk
• What the latest research tells us about the relationship between oral health, cardiovascular health, inflammation and our brain
We also explore bad breath, mouth breathing, fluoride versus hydroxyapatite, probiotics, pregnancy and menopause, veneers, whitening, oral cancer and how parents should look after their children's teeth.
Victoria also analyses my own saliva test.
Despite having high levels of good bacteria, she discovered a harmful strain releasing toxic enzymes and a genetic mutation that makes plaque accumulate more quickly around my gums.
The biggest lesson from this conversation is simple:
Your mouth is not separate from the rest of your body.
Looking after your health starts there.
