Your Mouth Speaks Volumes: Why Better Oral Health Means Better Whole-Body Health

A new year often inspires us to reset our health and wellbeing - but where should that journey begin?

The mouth is a powerful window to the rest of the body, yet oral health is frequently overlooked when we think about improving our overall health. Research increasingly shows that what happens in our mouths can influence everything from heart health to diabetes, inflammation, and general wellbeing.

Join us at our February Networking Event where we will be joined by Dental Therapist and Clinical Educator Amy Hayes. Amy will be giving an engaging and accessible talk in a non-dental setting, designed to help you better understand the vital connection between oral health and whole-body health. This session will explore how everyday oral health habits impact the rest of the body - and how simple, practical changes can help kickstart your health goals for 2026.

Whether you’re looking to feel healthier, prevent disease, or simply understand your body better, this talk will empower you with knowledge you can use straight away.

If you have any questions that you would like to put to Amy, please do send them by email to lucy.worrall@thomasflavell.co.uk 

Amy is originally from Canada but moved to Europe in 2000. She qualified with a BSc in Dental Hygiene and Therapy (2009), later completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Education (2024) here in the UK. She currently works as a Dental Therapist and Clinical Educator in Leamington, treating patients at Space Healthcare, while also working with a dental manufacturer to support and educate dental clinicians across Europe. Passionate about prevention and education, Amy is dedicated to helping people understand their oral health, build confidence in their self-care, and achieve healthy, happy smiles - believing that knowledge is one of the most powerful tools for better health.
