Today, I am honored to connect with Dr. Dominik Nischwitz, a German dentist, pioneer of biological functional dentistry and ceramic implantology, founder of DNA Aesthetics, and the Vice President of the International Society for Metal-Free Implantology. He's also an author with a particular focus on how optimal health starts in the mouth.
In our discussion, Dr. Nischwitz explains why the oral microbiome is, in fact, the upper gut. We explore the impact of oral dysbiosis, hormonal changes in oral health, concerns about root canals, cavitations, and old wisdom tooth sites. We clarify that mercury amalgams are not benign and are known neurotoxins, and explain why big-mouth overhauls must be carefully planned. We also discuss the debate of fluoride versus hydroxyapatite, cosmetic dentistry concerns, and more.
This is another invaluable conversation that you will likely want to listen to several times.
