The Link Between Gum Disease and Heart Disease in Women Over 40

Do you snore? Wake up with a dry mouth? Are you using mouthwash every day?

What if we told you that your oral health routine might be doing more harm than good?

In this eye-opening episode of The Forties Formula podcast, we’re joined by DR. SURINDER ARORA, a renowned biological dentist, to explore the surprising ways your oral health impacts your overall well-being. Our conversation covers:

• Why daily mouthwash use might not be the right tool for better oral health

• How mouth breathing can lead to chronic health issues—and how to fix it

• The oral microbiome - what is it, and why does it matter for your health?

• The truth about dental fillings – and why you might need to change yours in your forties

From the long-term effects of mouth breathing to the role of your oral microbiome in systemic health, this episode will change the way you think about your teeth, your mouth, and your whole family’s oral health.
