Biological dentist podcast episode

Hi friends! I’m SO excited to share this week’s episode with biological dentist Dr. Toni Engram, and this one is truly eye-opening. We dive deep into the powerful connection between oral health, gut health, inflammation, and the rest of the body—and how what’s happening in your mouth could be impacting your hormones, immune system, brain, and more.

Dr. Toni shares her personal journey with Crohn’s disease that completely changed 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, cavitations, and what it really means to treat the root cause; not just the symptoms.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your dental work could be affecting your overall health, or you’re trying to take a more holistic approach to healing… this episode is a MUST-listen.
