Dr Crystal Marruganti is an award-winning dentist and globally recognised academic who’s published more than 50 articles mainly on the connection between lifestyles, gum disease and overall health.
Her research aims to improve oral health not only through dental treatments but also using a comprehensive approach that includes thorough lifestyle assessments, helping patients identify additional risk factors to gum diseases like poor nutrition, physical inactivity, stress and sleep issues.
