Bad bacteria in the mouth trigger 54 systemic inflammatory diseases, from heart disease to Alzheimer's. The inflammation doesn't stay local. It travels through your bloodstream, attacking every organ in your body. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jonathan Levine to explore the science of oral-systemic health. We discuss his revolutionary mouth mapping system, the truth about root canals and mercury fillings, and why your primary physician might be unaware of critical health clues hiding in your mouth. Dr. Levine reveals simple daily routines that take just three minutes but can transform your oral microbiome, plus surprising connections between mouth breathing, sleep apnea, and chronic disease that could be the missing piece in your health puzzle.
