What if your oral health could influence your thyroid, sleep and airway, heart and brain, and even your immune system? In this episode of Healthy Team, Healthy Business, the hosts talk with Dr. Sheri Salartash, holistic/biological dentist and founder of Dynamic Dental Wellness, about how dentistry connects to whole-body wellness—and the practical steps anyone can take to protect it.
Dr. Sheri breaks down big topics in simple terms: why fluoride exposure can tangle with thyroid balance, how a “dead tooth” after a root canal can add to the body’s burden, why mouth breathing dries the mouth and disrupts sleep and immunity, and how gum health and bone health are foundational—not just cosmetic. You’ll also hear about in-office markers like salivary pH and nitric oxide and safer at-home options such as nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste.
What You’ll Learn
- Fluoride & thyroid: Why some patients explore fluoride-free care and nanohydroxyapatite as a remineralization alternative.
- Root canals & total load: The “dead tooth” concept, infection risk, and when extraction + restoration may be considered instead.
- Mouth vs. nose breathing: How mouth breathing dries the mouth, acidifies the oral environment, and impacts sleep/airway—especially in kids.
- Gum health = whole-body health: Why bleeding gums and periodontal issues matter for inflammation, heart/brain risk, and metabolic health.
- Clinic measures that matter: Using salivary pH, nitric oxide levels, and oral microbiome awareness to guide care.
