Dani is like most moms I speak with. Someone who cares deeply for her children’s well-being, and feeling like a failure because her child has cavities that she cannot seem to control. To make matters worse, she’s not getting any additional help from her dental office when she visits for her kids twice a year cleaning and exam! “Just brush and floss and get fluoride treatments” were what she was instructed to do…but the problem is, she was ALREADY doing that.

#19 - Shirley Gutkowski - Xylitol and How It Helps Stop Cavities

Healthy Mouth Healthy Life Podcast

Xylitol is one of the things I talk about with anyone who will listen! It has so many uses and misconceptions. People question the name and often confuse it with artificial sweeteners so they disregard it. But it isn’t a chemical artificial sweetener at all, it is a sugar that is found in birch trees and corn cobs...it also happens to be something that our body creates naturally, and supplementing with it in the mouth helps stop cavities SIGNIFICANTLY! The magic of xylitol is best realized when you understand WHY it works, and to best explain that I brought in Shirley Gutkowski....

Healthy Mouth Healthy Life Podcast

Today’s episode has Angie Stone with us again, but this time it’s on location at CAREERfusion 2017 in Daytona Beach, FL! I wanted to capture the moment of , because as an out of the box thinking hygienist, I’ve been told for many years by many peers that “I just needed to be there”. It took me years to, and thanks to the DebbieZ Pay It Forward Fund, I was chosen this year as a scholarship recipient! Angie and I spend time talking about what has helped her outside of the box career, where HyLife Oral Health Alliance is going, and what prompted her to write (Amazon Best Seller)....

More Episodes

On this podcast episode, I talk with Christin Lincoln, RDH about the different types of hygienists you may find in every day offices, and things you can use to tell if a dental office is one that you want to invest in. We piggy back on last week’s episode where Cindy Johnson and I talk about interviewing a health care provider to determine if they are the right fit for you and your values as a patient or employee.

We explore why oral health matters and how hygienists and oral health coaches help guide you to better overall health…not just oral health.

Christine talks about her website that is also designed for the consumer population and bacteria that triggers disease in the body, and the podcast she cohosts with a friend and fellow “momgienist”.

We discuss how someone’s bite can lead to gum disease (periodontal disease) and why it’s important to look at both gum disease and bite when it comes to having dental work performed or repaired.We talk Pankey dentistry, its benefits, and the oral systemic link.

This episode helps both the consumer and clinician alike. Listening to Christine will leave you feeling like you’ll want to find someone help you make sure your mouth is healthy for years to come.

Please visit Oral Health Coaching once you’ve heard her tell you why it’s the best investment you can make for your health!!
