Did you know that your teeth are living organs, just like your heart, liver, and thyroid gland? According to Dr. Dawn Ewing, executive director of the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine, your teeth can provide important clues about underlying infections and overall body health.
On Today's show, Dr. Ewing and I discuss how traditional dentistry often fails to connect the teeth to the rest of the body. When it comes to root canals and other procedures, this disconnect can cause serious problems. Dr. Ewing's journey into biological dentistry began after she witnessed firsthand the transformative effects of simple dental clean outs and extractions. She found that root canals, which create “taxidermied teeth,” can cause chronic low-grade infections and urges listeners to seek out practitioners who think outside their narrow area of expertise.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The importance of a holistic approach to understanding teeth as living organs.
- How traditional dentistry fails to connect the teeth to the entire body.
- Dr. Ewing’s journey from dental hygiene to naturopathic medicine and biological dentistry.
- The drawbacks of root canals, and why it's crucial to consider a patient's overall health before embarking on any dental procedures.
- The significance of taking care of one's oral microbiome.
- The role of meridians, and how certain teeth are connected to specific organs.
