Legends! Today is a big one. In today’s episode Dr. Steven Lin joins us to explain the nuances of oral health and how it affects our wellbeing overall. This episode is super important. Dr. Steven Lin is a functional dentist working to end tooth decay and gum disease, help people train their bodies to breathe for better sleep, and improve their overall oral health. The conversation between Dr. Lin and I covers how our teeth show the impact of the food we eat, the effects of a high-processed western diet on our oral health, the origin of modern dental diseases, the dental structure and the modern complications surrounding it, the connection between our gut health and oral health, and much more. 

Specifically we dive into:

• How is overall health related to oral health?
• How our teeth shows the impact of our food
• The foods that cause the current problems related dental disease
• A compromised oral biome directly translates to a compromised gut microbiome: Dysbiosis
• Airway dysfunction leads to sleep apnea due to a loss of architectural support in our jaws
• How does poor dental health affect overall health?
• Why is oral health important?
• How does poor dental health affect overall health?
• And we discuss how the teeth provide our most ancient records of human ancestry
