ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Many of us see our teeth as separate from the rest of the body and stop at brushing and a cleaning twice a year. Your mouth is connected to your hormones and fertility and can even affect your pregnancy.
Dr. Naylor talks with Dr. Nicole Vane, a holistic dentist and owner of Moonlight Beach Dental in Encinitas, California. After dealing with mercury toxicity, Hashimoto's, and years on the pill, she moved to a whole-body approach. Her cycles became regular for the first time at 35, and she got pregnant naturally at 39.
We get into:
✔️ How gum inflammation and hormone shifts show up together
✔️ The two gum bacteria linked to infertility and miscarriage, and why your partner should get tested too
✔️ Bleeding gums as an early warning sign
✔️ The problem with most mouthwashes and the "more fluoride" mindset
✔️ Why saving your natural teeth matters for long-term health
✔️ "Have a baby, lose a tooth" and what mineral depletion does to moms
If you've been told to brush more and come back in three months, start here. This episode looks at what could be behind the problem.
