The Oral Microbiome at Functional Forum, Reid Winick, D.D.S.

This is a fantastic lecture given by Dr. Reid Winick, D.D.S. in October 2015 on the oral microbiome, where he talks about the oral-systemic link and how pathogenic microbes in the mouth can affect distal parts of the body.

Skip ahead a few minutes to this part of the video (10:50), when Dr. Winick stresses the importance of identifying when a patient’s sample is overrun with pathogenic bacteria, such as spirochetes. DBI has no affiliation with Dr. Winick, but we do greatly appreciate his contributions to the field of clinical microbiology.

Dentists like Dr. Winick have a comprehensive understanding of the way the oral cavity affects the body as a whole, and use this knowledge to deliver a high standard of care for their patients. Check out his lecture below!
