We also chat about the connection between gum inflammation and chronic disease, what mouth breathing may be doing to children and adults, and how oral health habits, diagnostics, and daily tools may be shaping far more than just your teeth. Dr. Jonathan Levine is a prosthodontist with over 35 years of experience, holds nearly 30 patents on medical device delivery systems, and runs a clinical program at NYU. He is the founder of Smile House in New York City, a dental wellness center integrating advanced diagnostics and modern science, and the founder of the Glow Good Foundation, which brings dental education and care to underserved communities around the world.
