Manage episode 361003574 series 3456269
You can't have a healthy body if you don't have a healthy mouth. After all, it is the gateway into the body. Dr. Susan Maples is a leader in the area of total health with over 30 years of experience in dentistry. As a child, Susan was exposed to large quantities of secondhand smoke and suffered from severe allergies. Through mentorship and guidance from a few key medical professionals early on in her journey, Susan began a path to improved total health.
Today, Susan is giving back by mentoring children to have better total health throughout their lives. At Susan's Hands-On Learning Lab, she emphasizes the importance of optimal oral health and nutrition. She also encourages children to consider careers like hers in dentistry.
The right education and the right experience early on can entirely change the way we see the world and how we approach the rest of our lives. Susan created the Hands-On Learning Lab with that end in mind. Susan also runs the Total Health Academy, an online learning platform that helps offices transform into total health dental practices.
