In this entertaining and informative talk, recorded at TEDxEustis 2020, Dr. Charles Reinertsen unveils a surprising connection between oral health and leading causes of death. Using humor, Dr. Chuck reveals how your dirty mouth may be causing other health issues and details the methods available to address this alarming issue.
Dr. Chuck Reinertsen’s specialty is the mouth, but his interest extends to the rest of the body. A Eustis resident since graduating from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 1979, Dr. Chuck is on a mission to expand awareness of the relationship between oral health and whole-body wellness. As he says, “Many times the source of your disease is right under your nose…literally!” He’s a member of the American Academy of Oral Systemic Health, and his goal is to develop professional relationships between physicians and dentists.
