No, you’re not losing track—it really is Wednesday. I just returned from a short break to recharge and celebrate my birthday with family, and I couldn’t wait until next week to share the latest edition of Mondays with Mark.
Here’s what’s new:
1) My interview with Katie, known as The Wellness Mama, is now available. Listen to the episode: Mark Burhenne on the Oral Microbiome, Fluoride Use, and How Your Mouth Can Heal Itself.
2) Dr. Leedia, featured in our Functional Dentist Directory, contributed a detailed Q&A this week focused on women’s dental health. You can find this helpful content in the Highlights section of the @askthedentist Instagram page.
3) I enjoyed recording the newest episode of the Ask the Dentist podcast: Episode #55: Tonsil Stones, Bad Breath, and Grinding: What’s the Connection?. If you experience tonsil stones or that sensation of food stuck in the back of your throat, this episode is especially relevant. I welcome your feedback—leave a review on iTunes or Spotify, or reply to this email with your thoughts.
Have a great rest of your week,
P.S. I removed my previous CBD recommendation from my recommended product store and replaced it with a new formulation. Products on the store are regularly reviewed and updated as I continue testing. I recommend reading my blog post about how I use CBD in my dental practice and the section on who should consider it. I know the producer personally and discussed the product’s production in detail. The formulation I’m recommending is broad spectrum, fully organic, and has a dosing profile I find helpful for anxiety before dental visits or for improving sleep. A 10% discount code (ASK10) has been offered to Ask the Dentist readers.
