Summary of Transcript:
The addition of fluoride in water was initially based on the observation of a dentist in Colorado who noticed fewer cavities in his community, which later turned out to be fluorosis. It is now considered a controversial topic as research has shown that excessive fluoride intake during pregnancy and early childhood may impact children’s IQ and neurodevelopment. Europe does not widely adopt it, with only 3% fluoridating their water. Additionally, the show discusses the importance of the oral microbiome in gut and systemic health, with Dr. Stacy Whitman sharing her path to holistic dentistry and the prevalence of disordered breathing in children.

Summary of Description:
Dr. Staci Whitman, a dentist, emphasizes the importance of nose breathing for optimal craniofacial respiratory development in children and adults and the need to chew more. She suggests mothers breastfeed their children to help promote optimal craniofacial respiratory development during breastfeeding. She recommends using orthodontics as early as age two or three to change growth patterns and encourage good sleeping habits. According to her, chronic mouth breathing in adults can have far-reaching effects, and snoring is abnormal. Dr. Whitman also warns against the neurotoxic effects of fluoride and recommends hydroxyapatite for re-mineralizing teeth and ozone for periodontal and gum diseases. She advises flossing children’s teeth at 2 or 2 ½, using a baking soda rinse to neutralize acids, and scraping their tongue. Dr. Whitman concludes by emphasizing that the mouth is a gateway into the body and that oral health has far-reaching impacts, such as Alzheimer’s, erectile dysfunction, and fertility in both men and women.
