The Gateway to Your Body and Your Health

In this episode, we speak to one of Singapore's periodontal surgeons who is known for her biologically and wholistic dentistry expertise.

Dr. Gan Siok Ngoh is one of those few dental experts that looks into your wholistic health that includes your diet, your sleep, movement, and how your teeth and gum health affect and are affected by all those lifestyle components.

Teeth are more than just have a straight set of pearly whites. Poor gum health can be linked to cardiovascular issues, cancers and if chronic, can even cause premature birth.

In this presentation-like interview, Dr. Gan covers such a vast amount of knowledge that you might need to take it in more than one sitting. But I urge you to do so. It’s of vital importance to your health and longevity and your family’s.

In this episode we cover:

Different factions of dentistry

Where do cavities and gum disease stem from

What is the Oral Micro-biome and why is it important

Good Bacteria VS Bad Bacteria

Inflammation and it’s connection to disease
