## Resource

In this episode of Influential Dental , Dr. Edward Zuckerberg joins Michael Keeter and Julieanne O’Connor for a conversation about one of the most important shifts happening in dentistry today: the connection between oral health and whole-body health. From periodontal bacteria and systemic inflammation to saliva testing, oral cancer detection, AI, and the future role of the dentist, Dr. Zuckerberg shares why dentistry can no longer be seen as separate from medicine. He reflects on his decades in clinical practice, his early adoption of dental technology, and his current mission to raise awareness around the oral-systemic connection. This conversation is a reminder that dentists have the opportunity to do much more than treat teeth. They can help patients understand the mouth as a gateway to better health, earlier detection, and more meaningful long-term care.
