Healthy Mouth Healthy Life Podcast

My name is Carrie Ibbetson and I am a Registered Dental Hygienist with nearly 20 years experience in the dental world. I have worked as a dental assistant, front office coordinator, and as a dental hygienist. I like to think that because I have immersed myself in all facets of the dental office that I have a pretty rounded idea of what dentistry and dental offices are all about. One unique thing about my career is that I have spent many years working as a temporary fill in for offices (think substitute teacher). This has given me a really broad idea of what other offices are like, and has helped fuel my passion for amazing products and helping people connect the dots about their own health. For quite a few years I had a gypsy style mentality of living, traveling and exploring. Dentistry always allowed me to both pick up and move, or it allowed me to find work if I decided I was ready for a change. I would not change my experiences, but I can say that it has helped me to understand why many people find frustration or distrust in the dental offices they visit.

Dr. Chris Kammer has been a dentist for over 20 years, and in that time he has been passionate about making a difference in people's lives.  What started out as a passion for cosmetic dentistry, led him down a path that led to a huge discovery. The health of our body is directly correlated to the bacteria in our mouths!

When the bacteria (plaque) in our mouths build up they change in nature and become harmful to the body, resulting in gum disease.  Gum disease (which often occurs without symptoms), is now present to some degree in approximately 80% of adult Americans according to the U.S. Surgeon General.

The good news is, not everyone has to have this negative bacteria, but the bad news is that most of us do (thank you Surgeon General for the dismal 80% statistic).
