RAF377: Dental Health Part 8 - Action - Planning
Running: A FEVER
Hopefully you can see that this series aligns with my philosophy of becoming an expert at your own health. You'll need to tap into that philosophy to build your health plan. Some of the answers you'll know from experience. For example, you have dry mouth or take some medications that can cause it. However, you may have to talk with your dentist or hygienist about the many other risk factors you could have. You can use this series as a guide. Go back and listen to (or read the blog posts of) the other episodes in the series. Make a list of the problems that could apply to you. Ask your dentist...

RAF376: Dental Health Part 7 - Action - Protection

This is episode 7 in our 10-part series on dental health. We've already talked about dry mouth, diet, biofilm, genetics, and pH.

Running: A FEVER
This episode will be focused on diet. How does our diet affect our teeth and mouth positively and/or negatively? What can we do to improve this aspect of our health by eating differently?
