What’s WRONG With Modern Dentistry & How...

BEN GREENFIELD
About this episode

In today's episode with Dr. Eniko LoudDr. Ghazal Sophia Taghavi, and Catherine Staffeldt, esteemed practitioners in the field of bioesthetic dentistry, you'll get to explore the ins and outs of holistic oral care, from proper brushing and flossing techniques to the integration of Ayurvedic practices in dental health. You'll also discover the importance of maintaining a balanced oral microbiome, the benefits of crunchy foods for jaw development, and the lesser-known impacts of dental practices on overall health, including sleep quality and systemic conditions.

Dr. Eniko Loud has extensive training in all forms of dentistry, as well as in functional medicine. She first joined me for the podcast “The Exciting Future Of Holistic Dentistry (& How Ben Greenfield Is Re-Inventing His Mouth!”, and has been doing incredible bioesthetic dentistry work on me and my wife ever since.

Dr. Ghazal Sophia Taghavi (Dr. Sophia) is a compassionate and skilled dentist with a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine. With a robust foundation in biologic and cosmetic dentistry, she is committed to delivering exceptional patient care.

Catherine Staffeldt, aka Cat, is a trailblazing myofunctional therapist, dental hygienist, orofacial myologist, and the personality behind the “The Honest Hygienist.” She has been working with me as a part of Dr. Loud's program by sending me special jaw, mouth, and tongue exercises.

So, tune in for practical tips, personal anecdotes from my experiences with the Whole Health Dentistry team, and insights into optimizing your oral hygiene routine. Stay with us for a session that promises to transform the way you think about dental care and holistic wellness!
