Summary
bengreenfieldfitness.com/allinyourmouth
I don't go to a regular dentist.
Matter of fact, for reasons you'll discover in this podcast episode, I wouldn't personally step foot near a "regular" dentist's office.
Instead, because I understand how profound an impact my teeth, gums, tongue and oral cavity have on my entire biological system, I only work with a holistic, biological dentist.
Due to my strong interest in this matter of dental health and holistic dentistry, I recently read a fantastic new book entitled "It's All in Your Mouth: Biological Dentistry and the Surprising Impact of Oral Health on Whole Body Wellness" written by my guest on today's show, Dr. Dominik Nischwitz.
Challenging conventional dental wisdom that views the teeth as separate from the rest of the body, and conventional dental practices that often cause more harm than good, my podcast guest today, Dr. Nischwitz himself, lays out:
-The latest research on the microbiome and the mouth
-Critical information on the dangers of root canals and amalgam fillings
-The important role of nutrition in oral health and hygiene
-A clarion call for a new approach to dentistry
-And much more.
During our discussion, you'll discover:
-Dominik and Ben share their personal oral care regimen...6:53
-An overview of holistic or biological dentistry...23:46
-The link between the nervous system and the teeth...38:50
-Whether or not wisdom teeth really need to be removed...50:56
-How chewing assists with the production of TH-17 immune factor cells...58:42
-What are pellicles, and how saliva helps take care of them...1:07:48
-How to find a holistic dentist near you...1:20:46
