Today’s podcast episode features Courtland Nall, a holistic hygienist busting the toxic dental paradigm one topic at a time!



In today’s conversation, we’re discussing a variety of topics related to both traditional and holistic practices in dentistry, and oral health. We chat about the importance of second opinions in your dental care, the crucial connection between gut health and oral health, what things like airway health, mouth breathing, and bleeding gums are really telling you, ideal toothpaste options, oil pulling, and more.



We went down plenty of rabbit holes in this one - Courtland is a wealth of knowledge regarding all things oral and dental health. I know our conversation will leave you feeling informed AND empowered to be proactive with your and your family’s overall health!
