Knapp, Dr. John — To Chew or not to Chew?

If you don’t care about keeping your teeth, your general health or bad breath, skip these two editions of Radio Curious.  Our guest is Dr. John Knapp, a retired professor from the University of California San Francisco School of Dentistry.

The importance of preserving and protecting our teeth is often ignored, shunned, feared and to some unknown.  In this two part series we look at the importance of dental hygiene and heath care in the first conversation with Dr. Knapp.  In part two we discuss the effect of negligent dental care on the rest of the human body and the long term benefits of dental care in a national health care system.

And while you listen remember “the only teeth you need to floss are the ones you want to keep.” The interview was recorded in the studios of Radio Curious on July 16th, 2010.

The books Dr. John Knapp recommends are “Mystics and Zen Masters,” by Thomas Merton, and “Turning Point,” by Fritjof Capra.
