Did you know that keeping your teeth and gums healthy has little to do with how often (or how well) you brush, floss and rinse with mouthwash? Instead, it’s the composition of the bacteria in your mouth and in your gut that determines your dental health.
I sat down with Dr. Alvin Danenberg (a.k.a. Dr. Al), a retired periodontist, functional medicine practitioner, primal health coach and “incurable” cancer survivor to talk about how the gut is connected to your mouth and why dental plaque is actually a good thing.
We also talk about why brushing and flossing are overrated and why rinsing with mouthwash, using toothpaste and ingesting fluoride is actually detrimental to your dental health.
