Oral Dysbiosis is Driving Disease, Popular Oral Care Products You Should Throw in the Trash, and How Your Diet Can Help Remineralize Your Teeth
This episode is brought to you by LMNT, Fatty15, and Levels.
The oral microbiome is a foundational pillar of whole-body health and longevity. While modern science is just beginning to catch up, traditions like Ayurveda, along with Functional Medicine practitioners and biological dentists, have long emphasized the mouth-body connection. Without healthy teeth, gums, and oral tissues, systemic health inevitably declines. In this episode, today’s guests share how oral health offers a powerful lens into overall wellness—and why it’s time to rethink how we care for our mouths.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with leading experts on the connection between oral health, chronic disease, and longevity.
Dr. Staci Whitman breaks down the top signs that your oral health may be at risk, explores the root causes behind common dental diagnoses, and explains the link between poor oral health and chronic illness. She also shares actionable tips on nutrition, optimal eating timelines, and strategies to prevent oral dysbiosis and cavities.
Dr. Mark Burhenne dives into why prioritizing oral health is essential for preventing chronic disease and offers simple steps to get started. He also walks through the cost-benefit analysis of root canals and explains why flossing matters, along with his picks for the cleanest, most effective oral care products on the market.
Dr. Staci Whitman is a leading authority in functional dentistry. With a unique blend of scientific expertise and compassionate care, she's dedicated to creating a cavity-free world. Dr Staci is a triple board-certified in pediatrics, integrative dentistry, and naturopathic dentistry. She is one of only five dentists in the world to have her Functional Medicine Certification from the Institute of Functional Medicine.
Dr. Mark Burhenne is a functional dentist. He is the author of the number one Amazon bestseller The 8-Hour Sleep Paradox.
