In today’s episode I’m sitting down with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, and we’re taking a closer look at dental health and how it can have a much bigger impact on overall wellness than most of us are ever taught.

Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation:

1. Mercury fillings and what to know:

Dr. Jorgensen shares her experience and what she’s learned about silver fillings and mercury exposure. We talk about why the removal process matters and why it’s so important to only work with a dentist trained in safe protocols like SMART removal to help minimize exposure during the process.

2. Root canals and hidden infection risk:

We also dive into root canals and why they’ve become a point of concern for some practitioners. Dr. Jorgensen explains how trapped or residual tissue in the tooth structure can sometimes become a source of chronic, low-grade infection.

3. Wisdom teeth removal and proper healing:

Another important topic we cover is wisdom teeth extraction and how technique can influence long-term healing. Dr. Jorgensen shares what to look for in a provider and why things like proper tissue removal and supportive therapies (like ozone) can play a role in reducing complications and supporting recovery.

This episode is such an important one for anyone who wants to understand the connection between dental procedures and whole-body health.
