This week on Aging Less: The Longevity Science Insights Podcast, host Sarah Stancombe interviews oral health expert Prof. Dileep Sharma, Ph.D., FPFA, FICD to discover why this is and practical tips for managing our oral hygiene.
The Head of Discipline for Oral Health at the University of Newcastle, professor Dileep Sharma has nearly 20 years of experience as a health professional and clinical educator across multiple continents. Impressively, he is a leading voice in the field of periodontics and dental research.

He also gives an important reminder that oral hygiene extends beyond the teeth, and that other parts of the mouth are also important to maintaining oral health.
Together, Sarah and Prof. Dileep Sharma, Ph.D., FPFA, FICD discuss rumours about oral hygiene — brushing twice versus thrice a day — and whether oral hygiene should be taught in schools as well as in the home.
So, if you are looking for some reassurance that simple habits can be the most effective, or wanting to learn about the potential for oral hygiene to affect the rest of the body, this episode is for you.
