The Surprising Ways Your Oral Health Can Impact Your Fertility with Dentist Dr. Katie Lee

In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I’m welcoming Dr. Katie Lee, a nationally recognized dentist, author, and founder of Collective Health Society in Colorado. She’s sharing some truly eye-opening insights about the link between oral health and fertility.

We’re talking about how your mouth might be saying more about your reproductive health than you ever realized: from the oral microbiome to red light therapy and beyond.

In this episode, we cover:

• What the oral microbiome is and why it matters for fertility
• How gum disease, infections, and cavities can impact hormone balance
• The connection between oral health and conditions like PCOS or endometriosis
• What oral health can tell us about sperm motility and quality
• The role of specific bacteria like Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum
• How saliva testing and oral prebiotics might support your fertility
• The effects of estrogen and progesterone on mouth health
• What to know about dental care while trying to conceive or going through IVF
