00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.200
Have you ever thought how much your mouth says about you?
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:06.719
I've been a dental hygienist for 16 years.
00:00:06.959 --> 00:00:13.599
And every time you come in my dental chair and open your mouth, I don't only see teeth.
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:20.160
I see how much stress you've been under, your immune system, if it's run down.
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:28.960
I see also if you've had hormone issues, gut issues, and just nutrition deficiency as well.
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:33.439
It's like a mirror to your entire body system.
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:43.600
And I don't think a lot of people realize that because I think in the medical field, they're doctors and they deal with gut issues, your heart.
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.640
And then the dentist is your teeth.
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:50.880
But the teeth are correlated to the entire body.
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:16.239
So this is why I'm here today as a dental hygienist talking about biological dentistry.
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:17.439
What is that?
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:24.959
So many people are asking me what is biological or holistic or whole-body dentistry.
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:32.400
I've been fortunate enough to meet some of the pioneers of biological dentistry from all over the world.
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:38.640
I'm also going to have some of the top leaders in biological dentistry next as guests.
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:40.000
One of them is Dr.
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:54.319
Michelle Jorgensen, which I'm so excited in mid-October, she'll be a guest to go even more in depth with her story as a dentist and now naturopath as well and blending both.
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:58.159
So, what is biological dentistry?
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:04.000
It's not, it's looking at your teeth interconnected to the whole body.
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:16.400
So when I'm working as a dental hygienist for a biological dentist, we are not just asking how you're doing, looking at medical history or medications.
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:24.400
We're getting to your root cause as far as your stress levels, what's going on into your life.
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:29.599
These are the things that we get the whole picture of your body.
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:36.400
So here's some of the differences that a lot of people ask me for biological dentistry.
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:38.800
We use uh ozone.
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:45.520
Ozone therapy, think of ozone as a natural disinfectant for your mouth.
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:54.000
So it kills all the bugs from viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites.
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.599
So this is what I use when I'm cleaning your teeth.
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.800
We put ozone with the water.
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:05.840
And so it flushes right into your gums as I'm cleaning your teeth.
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:12.400
We also do ozone therapy if you have deeper pockets or periodontal disease.
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:23.199
Some biological dentists as well will use PRP, which is using your own blood, to help just uh help your gums and periodontal disease.
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:32.960
Biological dentistry also looks at oral infections and looks at how it's affecting your brain, your gut, and overall health.
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:34.560
How do they do that?
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:40.719
Sometimes they even do oral biome tests to check what kind of bugs you have in your mouth.
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:42.960
Because then we can really get to the root.
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:44.719
Do you have parasites?
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.560
Do you have an imbalance of a bacteria in there?
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:54.000
This is so important because it's also connected to your gut health.
00:03:54.240 --> 00:04:00.159
So what's going on in your mouth will correlate to your gut and your whole entire system.
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:07.039
Did you know that every tooth is interconnected to organs in in your body?
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:13.919
So if you have a tooth infection, it will be connected to another organ in your body and affecting that.
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:30.319
So if you've been living with chronic illness, autoimmune disease, and you can't get to the root cause, oftentimes the last place patients will get to is a biological dentist that says it's coming from their mouth.
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.720
Now, I'm not blaming the general dentist.
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:37.839
My husband was a general dentist, and we had a practice just doing general dentistry.
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.279
We only did what we were taught at schools.
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.160
And why are they not teaching that at schools?
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:57.759
I'm not quite sure, but I'm really hoping that will change because this is the new age for dentistry where we're kind of blending root cause, the whole body system with the teeth.
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:07.600
And this is where I'm hoping that there's gonna be more dentists open to learning to treat their patients as a whole.
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:21.839
What I love about working for a biological dentist is that when we're seeing tooth damage from grinding, clenching, we're not only just gonna prescribe a night guard.
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.480
You know what the dentists ask?
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.959
What kind of stress is going on in your life right now?
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.360
Is there some past traumas?
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:40.399
They give some some ideas as far as doing breath work, meditations, something that will help their nervous system.
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:46.480
They they will prescribe that night guard, but let's get to the root to why there's so much grinding.
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:52.000
And there's studies as well saying that grinding could be correlating to have parasites.
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:58.319
So this is where the dentist is going to look at all aspects of your life.
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:08.079
This is why I'm so passionate about sharing, about whole tooth dentistry, whole health, holistic, whatever you want to call it.
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:14.720
But here's what's kind of tricky, because now I'm only wanting to tempt for biological codentists.
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:29.680
I've come to realize not all of them are treating all the same from uh their understanding with fluoride, cavity, uh cavitations, and root canals using ozone, PRP.
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:31.920
There's no really regulations.
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:41.600
So I'm also later on in the show, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you some questions you can ask your dentist or how to find a biological dentist.
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.279
You know what's really eye-opening?
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.040
I was looking at statistics about amalgam fillings.
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:53.040
Amalgam fillings are the silver fillings that are filled with 80% mercury.
00:06:53.519 --> 00:07:06.319
Now, mercury poisoning is a real thing in dentistry, and the statistics show that in the USA, 40 to 50 million amalgam fillings are placed each year.
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:12.240
Now, this is so alarming, not only for the patient, but for the dentist.
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:20.959
As I'm bringing this awareness to friends and family, this could be a root cause to some of their ailments or inflammation.
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:26.319
Ultimately, to avoid disease, we want to reduce inflammation.
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:33.839
And oftentimes it's coming from our mouth, metal in our mouth, from having root canals in our mouth.
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:46.399
You know what's been so mind-blowing is that I've been a hygienist for over 16 years, and I never knew the amount of poisoning my husband as a dentist was getting every day.
00:07:46.560 --> 00:08:01.279
And myself and staff in the environment, my patients, I was in the environment where we were removing amalgam fillings, which are silver fillings, and so many people have them in their mouth stills.
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:07.759
But my husband was a cosmetic dentist, so he removed amalgam fillings for years.
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:16.319
And now that I am more aware, amalgam fillings, silver fillings are made with 80% mercury.
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:21.360
Now think of the poisoning that he got on a daily basis.
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:30.399
Did you know that stats show that there's 40 to 50 million amalgam fillings placed in the mouth each year in the USA?
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.840
Now, some country, it's not legal.
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:48.000
So this is where I just want to empower you as a patient to start asking more questions as to what's in your mouth and what it could be causing for your overall health.
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:56.480
So it's just trying to educate you, as I, you know, would see in the mouth so often where we kind of overlook the root cause.
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:02.399
You know, I would just go day-to-day cleaning, just all the protocol, even down to fluoride.
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:06.159
Now in dental hygiene school, I was taught fluoride.
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:09.279
I read all the studies, and it made sense to me.
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:15.039
Like, okay, yeah, fluoride is what we need to heal cavities, to avoid cavities.
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:22.159
I even was giving it small doses for my children, doing fluoride at the end of their cleaning.
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:29.519
Now, more than I research about it and work with biological dentists, it is so toxic.
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.480
And there's alternative, healthier alternative.
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:38.159
For example, now my family, we've been using hydroxyapetite for toothpaste.
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:42.480
Hydroxyapetite helps to remineralize your teeth.
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:49.919
It can even from small cavities to reverse, uh, to reverse the cavity.
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:51.519
Now think about that.
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:53.840
How often do you hear that?
00:09:54.080 --> 00:10:10.639
And I know I may get some backlash from some dentists that I know, but I'm not sitting anymore quiet of what I'm seeing when I work for a biological dentist, and I just light up the way they treat their patients, and I get really excited.
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:18.080
I'm actually hoping that more dentists will be open to treating their patients like this because it just makes sense.
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:19.440
It's the whole body.
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:21.120
We're not just treating the teeth.
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.200
This is correlated to the whole body.
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:31.279
Just last year, one of my very good friends that I went to high school with, she had a heart attack.
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:33.679
And you know where it all started?
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.480
From an infection from a root canal.
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:50.799
Now, this was the last place when she went to the ER and all these specialists, they couldn't even tie those two things together until later on she found out the root cause.
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.279
It was the st the root canal.
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:56.960
Well, over time, think about it, it's a dead tooth.
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:01.679
The dentist has removed anything that is alive for that tooth in there.
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:08.240
And now it's just a dead tooth living in your mouth, harboring bugs, all sorts of them.
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:14.879
And this might not be overnight where you start feeling anything because it's slow, it's a slow process.
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:28.000
I know friends that got root canals when they were 20 years old, and now just at 40, they're starting to see more and more inflammation and problems that were rooted back from that.
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:43.840
So I'm just finding that bringing awareness about biological dentists where they use CBCT scans to also look at some of these infections that might be rooted from root canals or cavitations.
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:51.440
Cavitations are from removing wisdom teeth, and then there's an infection on the bone.
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:52.879
And uh with Dr.
00:11:53.120 --> 00:12:01.279
Michelle Jorgensen next month, we'll go deeper into what are those, are what the cavitations are and how she treats them.
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:04.879
Same what she recommends for root canals.
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:09.120
Most biological dentists do not do root canals.
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:18.639
They'll actually, the option is to extract a tooth and put in a ceramic implant because you want no metal in your mouth.
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:20.639
Think of metal.
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.759
Metal attracts EMFs, right?
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:24.799
Constantly.
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:35.919
So if you have metal in your mouth, every time now we have EMFs everywhere, cell phones, going through the airport, all the scanners, everything has EMFs.
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:39.679
So the this is what attracts it, and it's in your mouth.
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:45.679
You don't want metal in your mouth and it attract more inflammation in your body.
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.639
So this is not creating fear, and I hope this is not like so overwhelming.
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.919
Oh no, I have you know, root canal, and I have metal, I have this.
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:54.879
Stop.
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.080
Just one step at a time.
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:08.960
One step at a time is maybe just starting to switch over from maybe mouth rinses that have alcohol in them, for example.
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:26.080
Those mouthwash will strip away the good and the bad bacteria, and it will dry you so much that you don't want a dry mouth because your natural saliva actually has healing properties like good bacteria.
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.639
I feel it's in a in a great balance.
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:41.600
So what you want to do in instead of a uh mouth rinse is that have alcohol and all these uh dyes in it and toxic uh ingredients is actually oil pulling.
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:48.960
Now you might think this is woo-woo and oh, this is not for you, but I'm telling you, coconut oil pulling.
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:55.519
So you would grab a tablespoon of coconut oil, put it in your mouth, and swish it around.
00:13:55.679 --> 00:14:11.039
Now you want to swish it around for about 10 minutes, and swishing around the oil, the coconut oil in there will help you balance, rebalance, find harmony for all the bugs, the environment in your mouth.
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.960
I call it the microbiome, the oral microbiome.
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:26.399
This is so important to have the perfect flora in there so that you don't have gum disease, bleeding gums, and also you want to avoid for cavities.
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:39.759
You know, I have children too, and I know that favorite snacks are always these crackers that stick on the teeth and cookies, and uh just it's hard to get away from it all.
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:45.440
But being able to do the coconut pulling, and actually, my kids really like it and they think it's fun.
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:51.360
They could you can do that two to three times a week and make it fun.
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:59.919
Maybe they can watch a show while they're doing it, or uh, you know, just implementing that in their inner day.
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:08.799
Now, you want to spit it out in a napkin because the coke the oils can clog your sinks or toilets and things like that.
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.879
So spit it out on a napkin and throw it out in the garbage.
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.519
Now, this will help tremendously.
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:26.480
And as far as the hydroxyapetite, another thing that I want to mention this is a natural teeth whitener and it won't damage your enamel.
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:27.919
So, and Dr.
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.799
Michelle Jorgensen has a great product.
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:32.799
Actually, I have it with me here.
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.679
I've been using it the past month here.
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.039
It's called Ruminalizing Tooth Powder.
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:59.919
So this is has hydroxyapatite in it, and what you do is you you'll dip your toothbrush in water, and then you dip it in this little powder, and you'll brush it, you'll put it all a small layer over your teeth, and then you'll brush your teeth normally.
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:07.120
I love this one because it's flavored with orange, like citrus, and it will help remineralize your teeth.
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:09.440
On top of it, it make them whiter.
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:12.000
So I absolutely love her new product.
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:18.159
My kids love it as well, and it's clean ingredients, and it's just a great way to remineralize your teeth.
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:27.360
I'll leave a link in the show notes for this product, but also you can look it up with LivingWell with drmichelle.com.
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:33.440
And if you want a discount code, put the word gratitude and it'll give you a 10% discount.
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:42.960
I'm only gonna promote anything that I personally use and have tried and truly believe and know the ingredients in because I'm extremely picky.
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:45.279
So I've been loving this product.
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:46.480
So check it out.
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:54.559
Now I know this is a controversial topic, and I have a lot of friends who are endodontists, may not like me when I talk about this, but are root canals.
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:57.600
Root canals, like I mentioned, they harbor bugs.
00:16:57.679 --> 00:16:59.759
You're, you know, they're a dead tooth in the mouth.
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.279
So I just want you to just be your own advocate.
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.640
Think back as to when you had that root canal.
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:08.160
Has it been giving you issues?
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:09.680
Have you been getting infections?
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:14.240
Have you noticed more autoimmune disease, more inflammation?
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.000
Now, my husband was an expert at root canal.
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.160
He was not an endodontist, but I remember him doing them often.
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:27.839
But you know what I remember the most was the emergency calls on the weekend.
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:32.559
So often he would be so, he was a perfectionist.
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:38.559
He would get every root, he was teaching other cosmetic dentists about his root canal skills.
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:39.599
But guess what?
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:42.960
Oftentimes, the infection would never leave.
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:50.400
We'd have patients call and say, the infection is still there, it still hurts, there's still something going on.
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:59.920
And it was really frustrating for him because he is a perfectionist and he knew he did everything he could, but he couldn't get to the root cause.
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:10.640
But now, now that I've talked to so many biological dentists and educated myself on studies and research that is out there, it harbors bacteria.
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:14.480
So no wonder the infection never left.
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:27.039
No matter how much you know, prescriptions we were giving them, no matter how many times that we check that the root canal's done well, the infection would never leave.
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:31.920
So now this is where I'm connecting the dots and it's making sense.
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:50.000
I'm just giving you that empowerment to start checking in your mouth and seeing if those might not be the root cause to your brain fog, your autoimmune, maybe even skin rashes, anything that it clenching, more clenching and grinding.
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:54.720
Another big thing that I've had guests on that talk about airway.
00:18:55.039 --> 00:19:11.119
Now, this is so important for anyone that uh has children that maybe have behavioral issues or always tired, or they're still bedwedding way past the year that they're supposed to be bedwedding.
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:12.079
I had Dr.
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:17.599
DeLuc on, Michael DeLuc on, uh, a couple months ago where he talked about airway.
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:18.799
I also had Dr.
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.240
Nichols explain what that is in their protocol.
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:28.319
We have done the same for my kids where they get a CBCT scan and they it's so great.
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:34.640
They get give you a picture where they see the quality of oxygen that they're breathing in.
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:44.160
Now think of how impactful the quality of oxygen we get in on a daily basis just to make decisions in a day, just to feel energized.
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:48.319
So think about it how important that is to check that for your kids.
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:56.000
So I highly recommend for every parent that you there's a nudge going, something's not right, and you can't pinpoint why.
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:01.119
Find a dentist, an orthodontist that is well versed in airway.
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:06.160
They will do a CBCT scan on your child and see the quality of oxygen.
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:10.079
For example, my daughter, she was in a green, she was perfect.
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.400
Whereas my son is still in the red.
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:22.720
Even though we had done other protocols at our dental office in Wasilla for him since he was really young, it was still in the red and we're still getting symptoms that I knew.
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:31.279
I was like, I couldn't pinpoint if it was maybe gut health related because we've gone that down that path as well as parasites and mold and heavy metals.
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:34.319
So I was trying to weigh out where it is coming from.
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.359
Now, after a month being treated with Dr.
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:40.559
Nichols, where my son has a spacer.
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:56.240
So a spacer, what will help my son is widen his uh top jaw to allow the tongue to rest more, lower, and allow oxygen, better oxygen quality oxygen in.
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:01.759
So this is where I've already seen huge improvements in just four weeks.
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:05.119
Now he's gonna wear that spacer for about six months.
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:08.799
Trust me, my son is nine when he had it on.
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:11.759
He was so scared, he did not want to do this.
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:19.920
And I know that's so hard as a parent because you don't want to hurt them and scare them, and you're like, oh, this might be too much for them.
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:22.319
But think of the big picture.
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:30.079
Think of the big picture, long run, the quality of life that you're gonna give your child as an adult.
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:35.759
Because think if you don't get to the root cause now, think of sleep apnea.
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:43.200
How many adults deal with that and have to sleep with this machine on, you know, by their bedside with their significant other?
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:48.720
And it's also the root cause to other uh chronic illnesses and diseases.
00:21:48.880 --> 00:22:00.319
So getting to the root when they're young, ideally, you know, right away, like three, four, five, six, seven, eight, go see someone that does airway for them.
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:06.160
If you are getting a gut instinct that something's off, it's normally the airway.
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:08.880
So that's very important to check that as well.
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:10.880
And for adults, same thing.
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:18.400
They'll have protocols where you can do spacers as well and help you with your sleep apnea, brain fog, uh, other ailments.
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:20.720
Now I know I've mentioned cavitations.
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:27.119
Now, this is something also not many are talking about, but I think it's important to address it.
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:35.279
Cavitation is when they remove wisdom teeth and there's unhealed bone, and it causes it to have an infection there as well.
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:42.319
So oftentimes the dentist will have to go back and scrape some of that infection out of the bone.
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:46.400
And this could have been the root cause to other chronic illnesses as well.
00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:54.160
What comes to mind, you know, when I was in stent hygiene school, fluoride was the gold standard when we had our dental practice in Wasilla, same thing.
00:22:54.319 --> 00:23:01.279
After every dental uh hygiene appointment, I do fluoride for everybody, and I I believed it as well.
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:20.640
But I found a great study now that I do not use any fluoride, and I wish there was no fluoride in our waters and sea, I know how toxic it is, and I really pray and hope that they will eventually remove fluoride for drinking water and obsolete altogether.
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:23.039
Uh, here's a study that I found interesting.
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:34.480
So in 2012, Harvard Meta-analysis reviewed 27 studies found that high fluoride exposure was linked to lower IQ in children.
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:39.359
Now, these studies were not in the USA because USA doesn't want to do these studies.
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:42.720
Uh, these are other countries, you know.
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:49.279
I, and so you gotta wonder, you gotta wonder what it's doing neurologically for our children.
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:51.279
And it's in our drinking water.
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:55.279
So become aware, aware of that, and check some of the resources.
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:57.440
I'll leave those in the show notes as well.
00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:02.160
Or you can follow me at Melissa underscore gratitude on social media.
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:19.920
I can you can DM me, I can send you some of the research, and I will be talking more about that, uh, having more guests as well that are biological dentists, or even I have now met so many uh friends and people that share their stories.
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:24.960
I have this woman right now that she's gonna share her story about her cavitation journey.
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:31.359
I have her a friend who's gone through root canal and then having uh her a heart attack.
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:35.440
So these are all guests that I can share their own journey.
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:45.440
And uh this will kind of open up your eyes and start looking inside your mouth for the root cause of possibly some of the symptoms that you're feeling daily.
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:50.000
Okay, so now you're probably wondering, how do I find a biological dentist?
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:50.880
Where are they?
00:24:51.039 --> 00:25:05.680
Trust me, this is extremely difficult because I know they're not, there's not a certification, and so it's really hard to know which ones are really doing all the protocols that I've talked about, and if not more.
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:09.119
So here are some places that I noted down.
