The Mouth-Body Connection: Why Oral Health Matters for Brain Health, Inflammation, and Whole-Body Wellness
Learn from Carol McCarthy, MS, FMCHC, our Brain Health Program Director & Coach, and Cynthia Libert, M.D.
For far too long, oral health has been treated as separate from the rest of medicine. But we now know that the mouth is deeply connected to the body through inflammation, immune signaling, microbial balance, vascular health, and metabolic function. Research continues to show meaningful links between periodontal disease and conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, pregnancy complications, and cognitive decline risk. The American Dental Association explicitly recognizes oral health as integral to overall health and encourages greater collaboration between dental and medical professionals.
In this enlightening webinar, Carol McCarthy will help you understand why the mouth is far more than an isolated area of the body. It is a gateway, an early warning system, and in many cases, an overlooked piece of the root-cause puzzle.
Includes a live Q&A session with both Carol & Dr. Libert.
