Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 682

How does oral health impact your overall health?

Dr. Dominik Nischwitz (also known as Dr. Dome) joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 682, to introduce the principles of biological dentistry, how our teeth are connected to different organs in the body, and what alternative approaches to modern dental health we can use for natural healing and prevention.

"Bad oral health equals bad overall health. You cannot have good health overall if you have bad oral health. All the oral health care we are doing these days, it's just a band-aid for the wrong lifestyle." - Dr. Dominik Nischwitz

Power Quotes From The Show

Teeth + Organ Connection

"Root canals or any sort of trauma in your mouth or in your body is usually a trauma elsewhere too because teeth are connected to various organs. Teeth are not just hard biting instruments. They are the first organ above the thyroid and they are directly connected to the brain." - Dr. Dominik Nischwitz

Mouthwash Is Bad for Your Oral Health

"Mouthwashes are very acidic. It maybe leaves you with a good breath for a day, but in the long run, because it's killing your oral microbes and leading to dysbiosis, you'll probably end up having bad breath from it." - Dr. Dominik Nischwitz

Breastfeeding Shapes The Face

"Breastfeeding is like the first orthodontic treatment. The baby needs a lot of force to pull the milk out which then pulls the lower jaw forward. And at the same time, the baby needs to breathe through the nose and this will create a wider palate." - Dr. Dominik Nischwitz
