S5E16 Mouth Breathing, What Your Dentist Isn’t Telling You & The Truth About Fluoride | Dr. Staci Whitman
Manage episode 421695848 series 2611207
When was the last time you did a radical 180 about a long held belief? Today I’m sitting down with a brilliant dentist who was once picketing in the streets for water fluoridation — yet was courageous enough to change her mind and speak out once she dug into the data once and for all. Meet Dr. Staci Whitman, a board-certified dentist who takes a whole-body, holistic and functional approach to oral health. In this episode, Staci unpacks the surprising factors that contribute to the decline of our oral health including mouth breathing, hormones, and gut dysbiosis. She explains why these underlying root causes are ignored by conventional dentistry and exactly what we need to be asking about and advocating for at our dentist appointments.
HERE’S THE JUICE:
Functional vs. conventional dentistry and the importance of both
Why dental professionals haven't introduced oral microbiome testing as a baseline for all patients
How hormone imbalance is leading to an increase in cavities in women and the signs to look for in prevention
What LPS is and how it contributes to pathogenic bacteria overgrowth
The fact that we aren’t taught about healthy bacteria and are encouraged to wipe out all our bacteria with products like Listerine
Why dentists are sometimes the first people to diagnose Crohn's disease and how your oral health can inform gut health
What a cavity is and how it forms
When we may be able to repair cavities without requiring fillings
Why mouth breathing is so detrimental to our oral health and how to retrain yourself into healthy breathing habits
Resources and recommendations for the products and services we should be talking to our dentist about to be proactive about our oral health
