Today I get to talk with Nadine Artemis, an expert in healthy beauty products, aromatherapy, and holistic oral care. We explore why sunshine is so important (especially for healthy teeth) and all the ways we can care for our oral microbiome. Nadine shared with me that springtime is actually cavity season. After a long winter without much vitamin D from sunshine we’re more prone to cavities.
Just like our gut, our mouth has its own microbe balance. What we eat and what we use to rinse/brush with can make a huge difference in how healthy our teeth are. So join me as Nadine and I talk all about how to have a healthy smile and a healthier body with good nutrition and sunlight.
