Listen to the Show
From A to Z — your teeth affect the rest of your body, mind and wellbeing. Our guests are two dentists who give their patients a lot to smile about. Dentistry has come a long way since the time when people thought tooth decay was caused by little animals called tooth worms. In this jam-packed hour, we’re going to share the exciting 21st century approach to your mouth, tongue, teeth, and gums, as well as many other things you need to know about dental health. You’ll hear about:
- various reasons for restoring your smile—veneers, bonding, braces, etc.
- silver versus composite fillings
- causes for bad breath
- which kind of teeth respond to whitening
- why your dentist can forecast other health concerns
- what dentists look for during pregnancy and menopause
- those who are good candidates for implants
- the emerging dental spas
