We also explain how research underlines the link between poor oral health and many systemic diseases, such as diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. We address the importance of diet and nutrition in oral health as well as controversial topics including fluoride.
This authoritative yet practical guide empowers each of us to reclaim the health of our mouths and sustain a full, strong set of teeth for a lifetime.
We are grateful to the many who helped and inspired this work, a practical guide to herbs for the mouth. We were buoyed by our families, friends and colleagues, our teachers and yes, the plants themselves. By all means read our endorsements before you purchase our book and certainly, before you recommend it to others.
And we'd really like to know what you think about our work.
