Be Well by Kelly Leveque

343: How to Prevent Cavities and Avoid Fillings with Root-Cause Dentistry | Dr. Craig Clayton


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Craig D. Clayton, a functional and biomimetic dentist who’s changing the way we think about oral health. With a background rooted in biological dentistry and a strong focus on root-cause care, Dr. Clayton walks us through cavity prevention, airway health, and why some dental practices may be making things worse instead of better. We also get into how diet, mouth breathing, and even pregnancy affect your teeth and gums in ways most of us never hear about.
