Dentistry.One Chats - Episode 1: Courtney Justice from Painted Sky Dental

Gum disease can raise your stroke risk by up to 2.5x, and 59 million Americans live in areas without enough dentists to see them. On this episode of Dentistry.One Chats, we sit down with Courtney Justice, RDH, Founder and Executive Director of Painted Sky Dental, a nonprofit bringing mobile dental hygiene services to rural and underserved communities across Southwestern Colorado. Courtney shares what it actually takes to bring preventive dental care to people who can't easily access it, why oral health is one of the clearest windows into whole-body health, and how her team provides no-cost care to veterans in honor of her own family's military service.
