Does oral health impact your overall health?

If you think cavities are just about sugar and skipping floss, this episode will completely flip that script. I sat down with Dr. Staci Whitman, a functional dentist who's blowing the lid off everything we thought we knew about oral health. What she shared about the connection between your mouth, gut, brain, hormones (yes, hormones!) and even sleep had my jaw on the floor… and honestly, it still is. Dr. Staci breaks down the real reasons so many of us (myself included) get cavities even when we're doing “all the right things,” the surprising link between mouth breathing and chronic health issues, and why what's happening in your oral microbiome could be the missing piece in your health puzzle. We also get into the truth about fluoride, the foods that are secretly harming your teeth, and what you can start doing today to protect your entire body—starting with your mouth.If you're a parent, a wellness nerd, or just want to stop dreading your next dental visit, this episode will change how you look at oral health forever.

 One often overlooked aspect of health and wellness is oral health... In fact, oral health plays a crucial role in overall well-being, and it's important to understand the connection between the two. On today's show, we talk with Dr. Staci Whitman. Dr. Whitman is a functional dentist with a passion for educating others on how the oral microbiome, nutrition, and airway health impact not only oral health but also overall body wellness. In this episode, we explore how much of our adult dental experience is shaped from the moment of conception, and why pediatric dental care is essential for long-term health. We also dive into how compassionate education can empower parents and practitioners to address children's nutritional status, mineral deficiencies, gut health, and sleep hygiene, helping to ensure a lifetime of optimal oral health.

This episode is brought to you by Birch Living, Bon Charge, and BiOptimizers.  The oral microbiome plays a crucial role in achieving true health and longevity. While science has only recently confirmed what many Ayurvedic practices, Functional Medicine doctors and biological dentists have long known—without a healthy mouth, teeth, and gums, overall body health suffers. Today's guest is on a mission to revolutionize oral healthcare and educate listeners on how and why oral health can serve as a window into overall health. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with functional dentist Dr. Staci Whitman to discuss the top signs that your oral health is in jeopardy, the root causes of common dental diagnoses, and the correlation between poor oral health and chronic disease.

She also covers the top supplements for oral health and factors to consider when dealing with root canals.

Doctor Staci has always been passionate about children's nutrition and how to improve our food system, the oral microbiome and the oral-systemic connection, and sleep and airway health, focusing her research in residency on how to improve airway assessments and diagnostic tools in the paediatric population.In this podcast we discussWhen our children should first see a dentist and start brushing their teethWhat is a cavity and why do we get themThe optimal diet for dental health, and what to do if you have a picky eaterDr Staci's thoughts on toothpaste - what to look for and avoidAll about flossing and fluorideWhether breast milk causes tooth decayWhy is open mouth breathing is a red flag and what it may indicate... and so much more!You can connect with Dr Staci via instagram and her websiteToday's episode was brought to you by Myo Munchee. Our diet - and in many ways our health - have changed drastically over time. Ancestrally, we were chewing on dried meats, nuts, seeds, etc. which is the ideal exercise for the lips, face, and jaws. The natural growth forces generated from correct chewing make a big contribution to growing faces and maintaining ideal oral function for life. In the last hundred years, the western industrialised lifestyle—with its soft foods, reduced nutritional diversity, and rapidly decreasing range of exercise— has essentially removed natural cues for healthy oral development. Tongue and jaw movements are also being impacted by poor oral habits including processed soft baby food, squeezy packs, pacifiers/dummies, and sippy cups. The Myo Munchee is chewing device that can provide necessary chewing exercise enhancing muscle strength, tone and coordination for better oral posture. It promotes nasal breathing and reinforces correct swallow patterns. Chewing a Munchee also produces A LOT of saliva. Saliva is nature's elixir, helping to cleanse the oral cavity, promoting better oral hygiene.You can use the code BOOBTOFOOD for 15% off the Myo Munchee range.

When was the last time you did a radical 180 about a long held belief? Today I'm sitting down with a brilliant dentist who was once picketing in the streets for water fluoridation — yet was courageous enough to change her mind and speak out once she dug into the data once and for all. Meet Dr. Staci Whitman, a board-certified dentist who takes a whole-body, holistic and functional approach to oral health. In this episode, Staci unpacks the surprising factors that contribute to the decline of our oral health including mouth breathing, hormones, and gut dysbiosis. She explains why these underlying root causes are ignored by conventional dentistry and exactly what we need to be asking about and advocating for at our dentist appointments.   HERE'S THE JUICE: Functional vs. conventional dentistry and the importance of both Why dental professionals haven't introduced oral microbiome testing as a baseline for all patients  How hormone imbalance is leading to an increase in cavities in women and the signs to look for in prevention What LPS is and how it contributes to pathogenic bacteria overgrowth The fact that we aren't taught about healthy bacteria and are encouraged to wipe out all our bacteria with products like Listerine  Why dentists are sometimes the first people to diagnose Crohn's disease and how your oral health can inform gut health What a cavity is and how it forms When we may be able to repair cavities without requiring fillings Why mouth breathing is so detrimental to our oral health and how to retrain yourself into healthy breathing habits  Resources and recommendations for the products and services we should be talking to our dentist about to be proactive about our oral health   Watch the full episode on What's The Juice YouTube Channel  To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia's line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.    Connect with Staci: Website  Instagram Oral Microbiome Reset Course Her Kid's Dental Practice Connect with Olivia: Follow Organic Olivia  Olivia's personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTok Read Olivia's blog posts

As many of you know, we are dedicated to helping people detox from as many hormone-disrupting chemicals as possible. Good oral hygiene is essential for a healthy body. However, the conventional oral care industry is very plastic-heavy. There's polyurethane in toothbrushes, flavored floss can contain phthalates, and there's even BPA in dental sealants. Transitioning to a greener oral care routine can seem impossible, but thanks to biodentistry, it's not. That's why we are so excited to be joined today by Dr. Staci Whitman. Dr. Staci is a Board-Certified Functional Pediatric Dentist. She is the founder of NoPo Kids Dentistry in North Portland, OR where she takes a whole-body, holistic, and functional approach to her patients. We are so excited to ask about her approach to dentistry.

Ok the title is a bit of a click-bait, but I did have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Staci Whitman on the podcast. Dr. Whitman is a practicing pediatric dentist in Portland, Oregon. She is a "functional" pediatric dentist who practices in a demographic that caters to more natural and holistic modalities. Her practice is heavy in dietary guidance, vitamin supplementation, ozone therapy, tie/lip tie release, myofunctional therapy, hard tissue lasers, and also traditional SSCs and general anesthesia. I wanted to have this conversation to widen my horizons and provide me with more context to educate and converse with my own patients who have concerns about fluoride, toxins, and materials. I was surprised to find that I agreed with the majority of points that Dr. Whitman discussed. You can tell that she's passionate about educating her patients, promoting a healthy diet, and focusing on prevention rather than picking up a handpiece to fix the world's problems. I think this will be a great episode for stimulating some critical thinking skills about the way we discuss treatment options with our crunchier families that we all know and love!

Dr Staci Whitman has an audacious goal: A cavity-free world. Here's what we talk about:How to navigate the road towards better teeth for you and your kids if you have them, without freaking out - leaving your guilt at the door! Babies needing fillings now - what!?The health or lack of health in our mouths is relevant to the prevention of, and our risk factors for over 100 diseases - that we know of so far. How?

My guest this week is Dr. Staci Whitman. In this episode, Dr. Staci and I discuss all things oral health, cavities, and children. The mouth could just be the tattletale you actually want in your child's life! There's a forgotten link between oral health and systemic health/immune function. Issues in the mouth can actually be one of the first clues that something bigger might be going on physically or brain-wise that we need to deal with. So helping kids have healthy mouths is about a lot more than just the cavity issue. Dr. Staci and I dive into contributing factors to rampant cavities and other oral health issues we are continuing to see at younger ages. She shares many tips on how to make dental hygiene non-negotiable in an approachable and realistic way, as well as overcoming (and avoiding) anxiety and dental phobias. Dr. Staci provides lifestyle tips, resources, and product suggestions that she uses in her pediatric dental practice that can support your whole family's health journey. Dr. Staci Whitman is on a mission to create a world without cavities. She's the founder of NoPo Kids Dentistry, where she takes a whole-body holistic and functional approach with her patients. She attended Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and worked as a general dentist for two years, and then went on to earn a certificate in pediatric dentistry from Oregon Health and Sciences University. In 2019, she founded NoPo Kids Dentistry, became a diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, and is a board-certified pediatric dentist and fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. She has taken numerous courses and training in children's sleep and airway medicine, studying oral myofunctional therapy, cranial-sacral therapy, and is a Breathe Institute ambassador.

In today's episode, Dr. B addresses this fear by answering a question about the risks involved in baby root canals, and how they work. From his position of expertise, Dr. B talks us through why a root canal is a great option, and how a baby root canal is not all that different. He defines the difference between a pulpotomy and a pulpectomy in kids, and how each of these can and should be done. We find out why Dr. B stopped using formocresol, and what he and his functional dentist colleague, Dr. Staci Whitman, use instead. We learn about the anatomical differences between baby and adult teeth, and why it's so crucial to treat damaged baby teeth rather than to simply extract them.

Dr Staci Whitman from NoPo kids (North Portland, Oregon) comes on our show to tell us what amazing ways she is doing early intervention to change the lives of these kids by education on nutrition, helping catch sleep disordered breathing from the beginning, and identifying MOUTH BREATHING early to reduce cavities but also get the most optimal growth. She also does laser CO2 frenectomy or tongue and lip tie releases infants-12 year olds. She is also a user of functional appliances to redirect poor growth or habits. As we know if the tongue is not up all the time, mouth breathing, abnormal swallow, or tongue tied, these kids will have altered growth and poor sleep quality. She is a supporter or myofunctional therapy because we are the ones to retrain those dysfunctions but when the arches are not growing ideally or to help speed the kids back up she uses appliances. Myomunchee habit appliance for the little ones, Healthy start orthotropic appliances. These use your own muscles that guide the growth of the muscles which grows the bones.
