Hi friends! I’m excited to share this week’s episode with Biological Dentists Dr. Tony Engramit was really eye-opening. We dive into the powerful connections between oral health, gut health, inflammation, and the rest of the body, and how what happens in your mouth affects your hormones, immune system, brain, and more.
Dr. Toni shares her personal experience with Crohn’s disease, which revolutionized her approach to dentistry and led her into the world of biological and functional dentistry. We talk about hidden dental infections, root canals, sealants, airway health, jaw development, cavities, and what it really means to treat the root cause; not just the symptoms.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your dental work is affecting your overall health, or you’re trying to take a more holistic approach to treatment…this episode is a must-listen.
