Title : The Swedish secret to full body health starting in your mouth
Abstract:
For too long, medicine and dentistry have existed in separate worlds—yet the body makes no such distinction. In this talk, Dr. Jessica Lederhausen, Swedish-born dentist, public health advocate, and author of ORAL: The Swedish Secret to Full-Body Health Starting in Your Mouth, explores the critical, two-way connection between oral health and systemic well-being—and why bridging this gap is essential for the future of patient care. Drawing from her diverse career path—as a small business owner, professional golfer, wellness coach, public health promoter, and founder and producer of TEDxChicago—along with her years practicing dentistry in Sweden, Dr. Lederhausen offers a rare, multidisciplinary perspective on health and performance. She shows that the mouth is far more than teeth and gums—it’s the gateway to the entire body, influencing cardiovascular health, brain function, sleep, and more.
Attendees will leave with:
- A deeper understanding of how oral health can reveal and impact systemic conditions
- Practical strategies to integrate whole-body thinking into dental practice
- Tools from her Swedish-inspired Lagom Method™—breathing, sleeping, eating, and moving—to support both personal wellness and patient outcomes
This presentation blends science, real-world case insights, and actionable solutions for lasting vitality—starting right under your nose.
