Camille Zenobia says the dialog around bleeding gums is archaic. We first saw microbes in the mouth and still don’t know what is happening at that landscape. We’ve dissected the guts, the brain … but we’re caught in this very basic science space when it comes to the mouth.

She shares more about her course on oral-systemic health and where the microbiome meets the immune system at the next RDH Under One Roof conference.

The mouth is the entrance to our metabolic health. How can we update our thinking? How do we regain curiosity to want to learn more? Join us at RDH Under One Roof.
