The Real Cause of Cavities Isn’t Sugar, You Won't Believe What Is | Dr. Staci Whitman, DMD
Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark
Ad break
Alex reads an Active Skin Repair sponsor ad describing hypochlorous acid spray benefits and code for listeners.
Most people think cavities, bleeding gums, bad breath—even fertility issues—start everywhere except the mouth. But what if we’ve had it completely backwards?
Today I’m joined by Dr. Staci Whitman, board-certified pediatric dentist, functional medicine practitioner, and co-founder of the Institute for Functional Dentistry, to talk about how your oral microbiome affects your entire body. We go into fluoride, mouth breathing in kids and adults, the signs in your mouth that your hormones might be off, and why she says you should NEVER use a Steripod on your toothbrush. 🦷
