A Mouthful of Wisdom

During the “A Mouthful of Wisdom” podcast with Sheriese Ferguson we conversate about the percentage of dentists that are minorities and more.

Because ‘the powers that be’ are on a covert mission to kill you, me & us!

Dental health disparities continue to have detrimental effects on the Black and Brown communities – causing sever health problems and even death.

Your mouth is apart of your body – So oral hygiene is a vial part of your overall health.

This includes remaining educated and well versed

This includes putting your life & health first…
