Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks to Shirley Gutkowski, a dental hygienist passionate about myofunctional therapy, about sleep apnea, the power of the tongue, and how airway improvements can change your life.
Throats arenât just throats anymoreâtheyâre airways! For those with headaches, TMJ pain, shoulder or neck aches, working with a myofunctional therapist may be the road to less pain. Shirley speaks to the importance of collaboration between dentists and myofunctional therapists, pointing out that most people in dentistry and speech pathology know very little about the airway! Improving the airway can significantly improve sleep apnea and other overlooked conditions that can be fatal. She discusses each step of the Primal Air intake process and how to know if it may be time to reach out. The prevalence of misinformation about diet and lifestyle has caused the modern face to shrink, and our airways are paying for it! This is not an episode to be missed.

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda reviews the American Dental Associationâs (ADA) updated dental radiography safety recommendation, specifically advocating against led aprons.
Modern digital X-rays and precise beam targeting are essential when taking dental X-rays. Dr. Sanda reviews the ADAâs paper outlining their new safety recommendations, Optimizing radiation safety in dentistry, to show that ionizing radiation from dental X-rays is a carcinogen. Children and younger adults are more susceptible to the effects of radiation because their cells are growing and their organs are more sensitive to radiation. Dr. Sanda recommends antioxidants to combat oxidative stress from dental imaging. Practicing safe radiation exposure is vital for your health!

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks to Dr. Lorraine Maita about how hormones affect your oral health, Sjögren's disease, and autoimmunity.
Lorraine, AKA the Hormone Harmonizer, began working in a NYC emergency room, but
after an eye-opening transition into perimenopause, she started her business, The Feel Good Again Institute. Lorraine debunks common fears around hormone replacement therapy. Itâs all about knowing your risk factors! Menopause significantly affects oral health as the oral microbiome changes and bioidentical hormones can help. She generously shares her experience when her teeth turned black after taking too many antibiotics and how we fixed the issue with Orasana probiotics. Lorrain then walks us through the most common times of life when women develop autoimmune disorders, all based on when hormones fluctuate. Be sure to check out Lorraineâs courses, like the Anti-Aging Solution, through her Feel Good Again Institute!

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks to Monica Hershaft, a holistic practitioner, about identifying mystery illnesses and the connection to hidden dental dysfunction.
Growing up vegan, Monica shares how she eventually developed a choline deficiency and started to eat meat again. An NRT doctor helped her regain her health, which inspired her to become a nutritionist. She shares some of the most common mystery illnesses she sees in her Scottsdale practice, which are almost always symptoms of the nervous system being blocked or stretched. We discuss the importance of removing metal fillings, how hard it is to remove mercury from the body, and the role of the parotid glands in the process. Monica speaks to the five layers of illness that everyone, including animals, goes through in getting sick. I love talking with Monica because her story is a great reminder that it doesnât matter what your labs are; it matters how you feel. Medical gaslighting is a real issue, and itâs important to always advocate for your health!

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks to Dr. Leonard Neatu about redox homeostasis, how testing can combat inflammation, and oxidative stress in dental healing.
Being in touch with redox levels helps to get to the root of a problem before a clinical diagnosis is necessary. Dr. Neatu introduces redox testing as a way to measure oxidative stress levels in the body. By measuring these levels, practitioners ensure proper bodily function and optimal healing outcomes. Dr. Neatu explains how patients can prepare for a redox test and integrate results into their larger health plan. Now that these machines are available in the U.S., dentists, nutritionists, and dieticians can potentially provide faster health tests than ever before to pinpoint sources of inflammation. Medical schools donât teach redox biology so itâs important to learn about this modality!

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks to Dr. Bryn Aitken-Young, an Integrated Physical Therapist, about the healing power of neurokinetic therapy, how it relates to dentistry, and how it eliminates pain so that the body can move more.
Neurokinetic therapy supercharges physical therapy by treating both the immediate source of pain in the body as well as treating the source of the dysfunctional movement in the brain. This technique can be applied to any area of the body experiencing pain for long-lasting results. Truly incredible! Dr. Aitken-Young shares how her work pairs brilliantly with dentists, such as for helping patients with TMJD or breathing problems. In fact, Dr. Aitken-Young believes that, like a dentistâs biannual check-up, a neurokinetic therapist should also be consulted often for preventative movement checkups. After all, movement is medicine, and it shouldnât hurt!

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks with Talya Meldy, the founder of Clear Way Health. To date, she has given over 15,000 colon hydro-therapy sessions! We discuss the importance of our colons, whatâs involved in a hydrotherapy session, and debunk common myths.
The colon is the human garbage can and in need of regular emptying. Tayla and her team are committed to helping people feel their best through this natural form of detoxification. In this conversation, we discuss some of the colon hydrotherapy benefits, including clearer skin, less pain, better sleep, decreased inflammation, mental health benefits, and, my favorite, a general feeling of emptiness in the body and brain following a session. We talk about the importance of our tongue and chewing our food. Your therapist can tell if you havenât! Tayla strongly believes that hydrotherapy should be a part of all medical institutions and rehabs as it effectively targets deeply embedded toxins. She shares how getting in touch with what comes out helps to access whatâs happening emotionally within. Give it a try!

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks with Dr. Kevin Scwandt, a biological airway and reconstructive dentist, to discuss airway health, how to sleep better, and common breathing misconceptions.
Dr. Kevinâs interest in anthropology led him to the fascinating field of airway dentistry. Many health conditions that commonly impact us now due to âmodernâ nutrition and lifestyle choices rarely touched our ancestors! Dr. Kevin shares exactly how these can show up. Airway dentistry looks at how the structure of the mouth impacts a patientâs breathing. An airway dentist can perform 3D skull x-rays and sleep screening tests to determine if there are any larger health problems impacting the mouth, like sleep apnea. Dr. Kevin suffered from airway issues and shares his first-hand experiences receiving treatment and administering advanced holistic surgical protocols. For dentists wanting to branch into airway dentistry, building a network of related physicians and practitioners, such as sleep specialists, osteotherapists, and massage therapists, in your area to refer patients to and learn from is an essential first step!

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks once more with Morley Robbins, the author of Cu-RE Your Fatigue, to talk about vitamin D supplements. His recommendations may seriously surprise you!
When most people learn that they have low vitamin D or any low nutrient, they supplement with more. Morley urges us to change our thinking! He encourages listeners to look at the larger picture of health and into whatâs causing the low numbers. Ultimately, low vitamin D is a result of inflammation. Instead of raising levels, we should be focusing on chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is, after all, caused by a lack of copper! While sounding radical, all of Morelyâs insights are fully research-backed, and he encourages us to keep looking for the full story of our own health and to not just listen to what weâre told.

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks with Morley Robbins, the creator of the Root Cause Protocol, also known as the Magnesium Man, to discuss the relationship between copper, magnesium, and fatigue.
Morleyâs fascination with the earthâs essential elements on the body and within the body led him to focus on metabolic dysfunction to debunk beliefs about chronic disease. The truth of the body is truly incredible! When a body is fatigued and stressed, the core issue is a dysregulation between copper, oxygen, and iron, a fact seemingly so simple yet so few doctors even know about! In this conversation, Morely shares his research about testing your iron and copper levels, why our society is copper deficient, and the importance of energy in all things.

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks with Dr. Mark Torbiner, an anesthesiologist at Beverly Hills Dental, to continue the conversation about IV sedation in dentistry and pain control after dental procedures.
Pain anticipation keeps a lot of people away from the dentist chair, so by understanding more about whatâs actually happening and options as a patient, we hope patients feel less anxious! Dr. Torbiner explains that a good portion of pain management is expecting pain, even if it doesnât come, instead of the opposite. His goal is always maximum pain control with minimum epinephrine, and he explains why.

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks with Dr. Mark Torbiner, an anesthesiologist at Beverly Hills Dental, about IV sedation in dentistry, its many misconceptions, and what to expect.
IV sedation makes dental procedures considerably safer. A patientâs vitals are able to be monitored throughout and in some cases, sedation even flags health conditions that patients may not be aware they have, like high blood pressure.
Dr. Torbiner shares how he prepares a patient for IV sedation, including the risks if a patient uses drugs. It's important to always be honest about your medical history! Many people think marijuana is an acceptable antidote to dental anxiety because it is legal, but that is very much not the case.
To demystify the IV sedation process, and trust me, itâs really not that scary!, Dr. Torbiner walks us through step by step what a patient can expect day of. Finally, he leaves patients with a strong word of warning against Ozempic and the extra precautions that must be adhered to if the drug is in a patientâs system.
Be sure to tune in next week for a follow-up episode with Dr. Torbiner about the most effective pain control after surgery and dental procedures!

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda looks into a fascinating aspect of our health, the oral microbiome. Itâs bacteria time!
Dr. Sanda takes us on a journey through the exciting recent development of oral probiotic research. The connection between bacteria and the mouth seems so obvious yet it was overlooked for so long! The health of the oral microbiome is directly related to so many other parts of the body.
Probiotics work to rebalance the naturally occurring microbes in our bodies and mouths that antibiotics, diet, hygiene, and stress can disrupt. They have the power to influence the rate of cavities, the rate of gum disease, even bone density, as well as, of course, fresh breath, sinus health, decreasing the rate of asthma, and much more.
Dr. Sanda reviews several probiotic strains that are particularly connected to oral health, such as Lactobacillus salivarius, which greatly improves bad breath. Consuming chewable probiotics daily is one of Dr. Sandaâs three top recommendations for optimizing your oral health, so be sure to tune into this episode!

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda looks at the importance of Vitamin D to maximal health. Even though vitamin D3 plays a crucial role in oral health, cancer prevention, bone health, and even warding against depression, over 1 billion people around the world are deficient.
Dr. Sanda busts the common myth that we can get enough vitamin D3 from the sun alone. Even most Californians donât! She shares the top naturally occurring sources of vitamin D3, but the reality is that most people, especially those in colder climates, will need to take a supplement to maintain healthy levels.
Vitamin D3 works brilliantly in conjunction with vitamin K1 and K2, such as in Orasanaâs supplements, because they direct the calcium that vitamin D3 helps absorb and directs it to the bones and teeth, away from the arteries. When enough calcium is absorbed in the diet, the rate of cavities, periodontal disease, bleeding gums, and losing teeth decreases dramatically.
Dr. Sanda advocates for testing vitamin D levels twice a year at home to know how much to supplement oneself and to be sure you are absorbing the vitamin D that you think you are and concludes by sharing precisely what factors to look for when choosing a high-level vitamin D supplement.

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Panos Papadiamantis, Founder & Chief Product Officer at PNOÄ, speaks with Dr. Sanda. PNOÄ is a pioneer in the breath analysis field, which has the capacity to revolutionize accessing information about an individualâs overall health at incredible speed. From heart function and lung capacity to how your breath shows up in your mouth, youâre not going to want to miss this one!
Breath analysis is an exciting, evolving field in medical diagnostics. Breath analysis testing can be used across industries, from doctors to weight loss centers, to dentist offices to resorts, because it is such a great, thorough screening tool for anyone beginning their health and wellness journey.
Coming from an engineering background, Panos and his partner, Apostolos, identified a gap in the breath analysis market when they created PNOÄ, which means âbreathâ in Greek. They updated the machines used to take the readings to make this technology affordable and accessible and revamped the reports they produced. Now PNOÄ breath analysis provides in-depth, personalized health readings that even include nutritional plans.
