Welcome to the LUTH Podcast. Let’s talk about blood donation.

Welcome to the LUTH Podcast. In recognition of the 2026 World Oral Health Day, themed “A Happy Mouth is… A Happy Life,” we’re talking about gum health. Is bleeding when you brush really normal? Does brushing harder mean cleaner teeth? And what does the health of your gums have to do with your overall health?

In this episode, we speak with Prof. Kehinde Umeizudike, Professor of Periodontology, about gum disease, common oral health myths, how to properly care for your teeth and gums, and the important connection between oral health and general health.
