Dr. Jung’s idea worth spreading is that “the most important function of the teeth is to develop and stabilize the craniofacial structure-to simply hold your skull, so your brain can function properly.”

Her talk received great praise from YouTube viewers:

“I love this notion of a dental visit being connected to the entire body. It makes sense because our body is one unit working together, not segregated parts that act independently. Thank you for the insightful information, Dr. Jung!”

“Amazing insight!! Never known that our teeth are intricately linked to the cranial system has eluded me till now. I am certain whenever I look at my teeth I will remember your teaching for sure! Thank you, Dr. Jung!!!!”

“Her story of overcoming challenges as a first-generation immigrant and pursuing her dream of becoming a dentist is truly inspiring… Jiyoung reminds us to prioritize our oral health for a lifetime of well-being. Thank you, Jiyoung Jung, for sharing your knowledge and empowering us to take better care of our teeth for a healthier future!”
