  • Is water fluoridation affecting children’s IQ? A federal court ruling says it might be. In this eye-opening episode, we dive into a recent federal court decision that challenges the long-held belief in fluorides safety. A judge in California has ruled that fluoride levels in U.S. drinking water may pose an “unreasonable risk” to children’s brain development, particularly in pregnant women and young kids. We break down the science behind the ruling, what it means for public health, and the potential consequences for the EPA. Should we rethink fluoride in our water systems? Tune in to find out more!

  • Welcome back to another episode of Ask The Dentist. I’m Dr. B, and today I am going to explore the often-overlooked benefits of nose breathing. In referencing “28 Reasons To Nose Breathe,” I will delve into how nose breathing supports blood flow, immune function, and even cools the brain. Reflecting on both ancestral and modern perspectives on mouth breathing's dental risks, we spotlight the multitude of health improvements linked to nose breathing. In this episode I’ll discuss the 28 reasons to breathe through your nose, plus one, for a healthier life. 

    Topics Discussed:

    06:42 - #1 The nose warms the incoming air to the optimal temperature for the lungs

    08:28 - #2 Nose breathing moisturizes the incoming air 

    10:07 - #3 The hairs and membranes of the nose filter the air during inhalation 

    12:54 - #4 Movement of air through the nose keeps the environment around the auditory tubes free from stagnating debris

    14:40 - #5 Nose breathing triggers the release of antibacterial molecules helping to clean the incoming air

    15:44 - #6 Air coming in through the nose stimulates the release of odiferous molecules

    18:26 - #7 Nose breathing sensitizers us to the quality of the air 

    19:01 - #8 Nose breathing increases our sense of smell, linking it to the limbic system

    20:00 - #9 Nose breathing brings air into the sphenoid sinuses to cool the pituitary gland and help regulate body temperature

    21:28 - #10 Breathing through the nose keeps the nasal passages open

    22:23 - #11 Having a clear nasal passage allows light to reach the pituitary gland through the sphenoid sinus to help regulate sleeping patterns

    23:39 - #12 Nose breathing activates movement at several head and neck joints

    25:33 - #13 Breathing through the nose lightens the head and lessens the chance of sinus infections

    26:50 - #14 In children, breathing through the nose helps to form the sinuses by activating their growth with the movement of air 

    28:27 - #15 Nose breathing moves the air to pass along the nasal septum

    32:16 - #16 Nose breathing allows the excess tears to have a clear passageway for drainage

    33:05 - #17 Nose breathing facilitates the production of nitric oxide and sterilizes the air in the sinuses on the way to the lungs

    34:08 - #18 Nose breathing reduces the volume of carbon dioxide released during exhalation

    37:33 - #19 Nose breathing adds a huge reservoir of sensation to tap into and to deepen your connection to yourself

    38:38 - #20 Breathing through the nose allows air to pass by the structures that mark the center of the head

    39:34 - #21 Nose breathing facilitates a deep meditation

    40:55 - #22 Nose breathing reduces anxiety

    41:19 - #23 Nose breathing reduces snoring

    42:49 - #24 Nose breathing activates the production of amino globulins to strengthen the immune system

    43:30 - #25 Nose breathing helps increase the fluctuation of the cerebrospinal fluid

    44:24 - #26 Air must contact olfactory nerves to stimulate your brain

    45:26 - #27 Breathing through your mouth causes the tissues in your nose and other airways to swell and become congested, making it more difficult to breathe 

    47:31 - #28 Breathing through the mouth tends to inflate only the upper lobes of the lungs

    50:10 - Additional practices to help improve breathing

    52:46 - Mouth breathers are more prone to cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and overall poor oral health

You'll also gain firsthand insights into Dr. Burkart's transformational journey to improved health through adopting a low-tox lifestyle. Let's equip ourselves with practical ways of controlling our exposure to toxins at home and at work, because surprisingly, we do have control over the toxins we come into contact with daily.We then venture into the sphere of oral health and the often overlooked role of glutathione. With Dr. Burkart's guidance, we'll shed light on the association between glutathione levels and dental decay, especially in children. But beware, there are potential pitfalls when it comes to over-supplementing. Our conversation will also cover common causes of oral health issues, from an imbalance of microbes to mouth breathing, and the underdevelopment of the oral microbiome in children. It's not all doom and gloom though, we'll share tips on managing oral health through diet and lifestyle modifications.Key points from this episode:0:00:05 - Toxicology, Environmental Chemicals, and Health0:03:24 - Avoiding Environmental Toxins0:12:46 - Glutathione in Oral Health and Disease0:21:56 - Natural Ways to Increase Glutathione Levels0:24:33 - Diet's Impact on Oral Health0:28:09 - Gum Disease and Use of Surfactants0:29:40 - Harsh Effects of Synthetic Detergents0:39:11 - Tips for Choosing Safe ProductsSponsored By:
