Welcome to this episode of Talking Lamar. In this episode, I'm talking about how your teeth affect your entire health. Who knew? Let's get to it.

What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Sorry, I forgot what I was talking about.

What are you talking about? I am talking to you. That's just what I was talking about.

It's Talking Lamar. This is Jerry.

I thought about you when I saw this.

I read this and it was, it's actually, it was a little bit too big of an article to talk about just on the regular show.

But I knew a little bit about this.

I remember they started a few years ago when I was still at Budweiser.

They offered us $50 twice a year if you went and had your teeth clinked. You got 50 bucks. And I'm like, I asked one of the guys,

the person that was in charge of insurance and stuff.

I says, what are we doing? Why are we paying $50 for that? And she said, because you don't know how many people here that don't go get their teeth cleaned.

I said, what? She said, yes. She said, yeah, she said, it was like less than 40%.

And I'm like, what?

And so what had happened was our regular health insurance offered to cut our premiums

if we would give an incentive for people to get their teeth cleaned.

And I'm like, really? And that's

when they said that statistics show that people that get their teeth cleaned twice a year

absolutely take better care of their regular health. Had you heard this, Sherry? I know about this.

There's a connection between your teeth, your dental health and your heart health.

But here's the really frustrating part about this.

Most of us, our health insurance excludes vision and dental, as though your teeth in your eyes

were not part of your body.
