Hello friends! I am SO excited to share this week’s episode with Biological Dentist Tony Engramand this one is really eye-opening. We dive deep into the powerful connection between oral health, gut health, inflammation, and the rest of the body—and how what happens in your mouth could affect your hormones, immune system, brain, and more.
Dr. Toni shares her personal journey with Crohn's disease, which 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, respiratory health, jaw development, cavitation and what it really means to treat the root cause; not just the symptoms.
