In her eye-opening discussion, Michelle Jorgensen, DDS, BCTN, highlights the often overlooked connection between oral health and systemic diseases. With a relentless pursuit of education, she emphasizes the role of dentistry in overall health, emphasizing that neglecting dental health can potentially lead to chronic illnesses, including heart disease and cancer. Through her narrative, she implores her audience - both practitioners and patients - to look beyond treating symptoms and aim to uncover and address the root causes of health issues, many of which find their origins in the mouth. She invokes research and personal experiences to underline the urgency of considering dental health as a critical component of overall wellness and disease prevention. #DentalHealth #RootCause #HolisticWellness
