It all starts in the mouth...
Your mouth is part of your whole health story.
Did you know that many conditions in the body can be connected to what is happening in the mouth?
The mouth is not separate from the rest of the body.
Changes in oral health can sometimes reflect changes elsewhere in the body, while oral conditions may also influence general health.
The idea behind Your Mouth Your Health is to explore these connections and invites you to discover why the mouth deserves a place in the bigger picture of health and wellbeing.
With more than 25 years of experience as a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH), I bring together professional knowledge, prevention and a whole-person perspective to explore what the mouth may tell us about our health — and what our health may tell us about the mouth.
Because understanding your mouth is about more than protecting your teeth.
It is about understanding a part of you.
Why look beyond the teeth?
The mouth can give us clues that go far beyond teeth and gums.
Mouth & Body Connection
Breathing, Sleep & Function
Life Changes
Prevention & Awareness
Start looking at the mouth differently
Sometimes the first step towards better health is simply becoming more curious.
Why do I wake up with a dry mouth?
Why does my child sleep with an open mouth?
Why do my gums suddenly bleed?
Why am I grinding or clenching my teeth?
Why does my mouth change during different stages of life?
These questions may seem to be only about the mouth — but sometimes there is more to explore.
Your Mouth Your Health brings together knowledge, questions and different perspectives to help us explore the connections between the mouth and the rest of the body. What is your mouth telling you?
