On Season 2, I bring you a health series!

In this episode, I sit down with Dr Phetola Mokgolo who is doing her community service and is a dentist in a public hospital in the North West province, South Africa. In this conversation, I get to know a bit more about the lovely doctor and her personal story before we dive into the frequently asked oral and dental health questions or rather the questions we ought to be asking. Have a pen and paper ready because she gives us some good tips and definitely helps us understand the importance of oral and dental health better and how it's linked to our general health. Dr Phetols does not end off this episode without giving us her two cents on the realities of Covid-19 on the ground and this serves as the reminder we all need to continue practising the World Health Organisation's recommended safety precautions and to remember we are still in a pandemic. Her golden tip to any everyone is to keep calm when you go see your dentist, which I found hilarious because it felt like she was talking to me directly. Dr Phetols also has a Youtube channel that you should all prescribe to, I meant subscribe LOL.
