About this episode

The topic of oral health and its role in overall health has received a lot of attention lately. As we learn more about the connection between your mouth and your body in general, we understand the necessary steps we need to take to advance our health journey one step further.

Join me in this solo episode where I uncover and discuss a number of different dental topics including:

  • The origins and function of your teeth
  • The pathway of dental decay or a “cavity” and what can be done to stop them
  • Some thoughts on Fluoride
  • Dental amalgam or silver fillings and the mercury challenge
  • Root canals - pros and cons 
  • The benefits of oil pulling
  • Sleep Apnea and airway health
  • The oral microbiome
  • The problem with antiseptic mouthwashes
  • Ozone - good or bad?
  • And much more!

Although there is a lot of content in here, it’s just scratching the surface of overall oral health so I invite you to continue to do your homework and explore more about your what’s going on inside your mouth and how it could be affecting your whole body.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode, please reach out and follow me on Instagram @sleepbiohacker or visit www.sleepbiohacker.com to learn more and connect with me.

And now, on to the show!
