Dr. Cherae FarmerDixon serves as Dean of Meharry’s superior School of Dentistry which produces 40 percent of the nation’s currently practicing Black dentists. Dean FarmerDixon joins Dr. Hildreth for an insightful conversation on the importance of oral health to one’s overall wellbeing and how a single visit to a dentist could potentially save your life by helping detect other related medical issues. We also discuss the challenges associated with the lack of diversity in the healthcare workforce, and why it’s so crucial to address them headon, now more than ever.
