Summary
I have wanted to chat with a dentist about dental health on the show for a WHILE, and I'm so happy this expert is Dr. Staci Whitman. Dr. Whitman is a functional and holistic dentist based in Portland, and WOW did this conversation blow my mind. We talk about it all: The things you MUST be doing to take care of your oral health aside from regular brushing, the major mistakes you may be making regularly, and what common occurrences — like gum bleeding — could mean for your overall wellness. This one is a must-listen.
