Discover how your mouth could be the window to your overall health. In this episode, Dr Ron Ehrlich speaks with dental hygienist, coach, and practice consultant Sue Rusalen about the crucial role of the oral microbiome in preventing gum disease, cardiovascular problems, dementia, cancer, and more. Learn why oral health is the missing link in modern healthcare and how new diagnostic approaches can transform your well-being.

◉ Episode Overview

For decades, the gut microbiome has been recognized as essential for immunity and overall health. But the mouth is where it all begins. Sue Rusalen, a dental hygienist and oral health advocate, joins Dr Ron Ehrlich to shed light on the oral microbiome—the trillions of bacteria, fungi, and even parasites living in our mouths. Together, they explore how imbalances (dysbiosis) can silently trigger systemic diseases, from heart attacks to colorectal cancer. Sue also shares powerful stories, including her own sister’s health journey, and explains innovative diagnostic tools like chairside microscopes that bring oral health to life for patients.
