Why Your Oral Microbiome Matters When You Are TTC with Dr Katie Lee

Published: Jan. 22, 2024, 8 a.m.

We're digging into why your dental health matters when you are TTC.

The American Dental Association recommends seeing the dentist every six months or an average of twice annually. But it turns out about 25% of the population goes more than five years without visiting a dentist.

A healthy oral microbiome is essential when you are trying to conceive.

Periodontal disease can be linked to egg and sperm health and complications during pregnancy.

Let\u2019s discover how oral health may be linked to fertility and what you can do to improve pregnancy success.

I\u2019m excited to welcome Dr. Katie Lee to the podcast. Dr. Katie is a dentist, speaker, author and coach. Dr. Lee authored a book entitled Saved By the Mouth to educate patients and clinicians on the importance of oral health.
