Summary
We're sinking our teeth into another important issue this week, as we look at oral health and the role that it might play in Parkinson's. The Movers and Shakers are joined at the pub – where Paul is caught, live on microphone, snarfing a chocolate mousse – by experts from both dentistry and neurology to look at the chicken and (chocolate) egg question of whether PD affects oral health, or if bad oral hygiene could actually have impacts in the brain. It's not all about the blood/brain barrier though – this episode also features handy tips for keeping your teeth clean and preventing the negative side effects of gum disease.
Movers & Shakers is brought to you in partnership with Cure Parkinson's.
Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman.
Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.
Sound mixing by Ewan Cameron.
Music by Alex Stobbs.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
