Dr. Iman Sadri has been a dentist since 2008 and has a very conservative philosophy when it comes to teeth. Teeth are strong and don't decompose in the afterlife (unless someone is cremated). 

Brushing your teeth before taking a nap is imperative to maintain good oral hygiene, especially if you nap frequently. Customarily people eat a meal prior to napping or have already ate in the day. When you nap your mouth is closed for a prolonged period. Without brushing prior to napping people can wake up to bad breath and a drier mouth. Bacteria can progress around areas where food particles are left behind, progressing periodontal disease. In geriatric populations root decay (cavities around the roots of teeth) can be progressive, especially since they may be taking a greater number of medications. 

Napping is a form of sleep and prolonged napping where the mouth is closed for an extended period can be deleterious to your oral health and overall health. The mouth is the window to the health of the body.

Dr. Iman Sadri has been a dentist for 17 years. He has a great passion for teeth whitening especially with the science of the Kor Whitening deep bleaching system. The only true system for teeth whitening that predictably whitens teeth. 

Dr. Sadri has noticed during the process of teeth whitening for his patients that their teeth and gums actually get cleaner with plaque reduction. Teeth whitening was inadvertently discovered when periodontists were working on formulations to break down plaque. They noticed that hydrogen peroxide in a gel form breaks down plaque and as a result, stains are also removed. So teeth whitening was discovered by chance in the 1950s. 

When patients whiten their teeth at home, the peroxide gel also breaks down plaque and some calculus. If the whitening trays touch at the crevice of the gumline the gel also breaks down plaque in those gum areas. However, whitening trays should be formulated so the whitening gel doesn't get too much on the gums and where saliva doesn't interfere with the gel during at home whitening.

Dr. Iman Sadri, has been a dentist nearly 17 years. Since people eat an average of an hour per day, they should brush their teeth for at least 4 minutes in the morning and four minutes in the evening. And ideally flossing after eating any meal or snack. It takes discipline to brush for four minutes both in the morning and evening. Consistent oral hygiene is imperative to maintaining healthy teeth and gums for a lifetime.

In my book, 'Master The Psychology of Weight Loss' Chapter 9 is titled, 'The Hidden Perks of Skipping Breakfast and Dinner.' I lost 42 pounds going from 201 to 159 pounds and keeping it off. I outline the many benefits of skipping breakfast and dinner, starting with the Water Balloon Effect. My aptly titled Chapter 5 in the book where I describe how my own body is like a water balloon. The more I eat they more I expand. Skipping breakfast and dinner helps the body burn extra fat by fasting. Inadvertently, this become intermittent fasting.

Dr. Iman Sadri wrote an article in 2012, 'Botox at the Dentist' - describing the clinical implications of getting botox at the dentist. One of the major reasons Botox helps with dental treatment is for the treatment of clenching and grinding. 

Botox helps reduce hypertrophic masseters by decreasing their width via muscle shrinkage. Clenching and grinding in fact can enlarge the jaw muscles. Botox administered at the dentist or at a medical office or med spa greatly helps clenchers and grinders. 

Botox at the dentist also helps reduce gummy smiles. This happens by dropping the upper lip down reducing how much gum tissue is shown.

Teeth are strong and can last millions of years, however, forces such as the jaw muscle and clenching and grinding can wear them down over time. Today's episode asks if it's important to wear a mouthguard when we workout. If the workout is rigorous with heavy weights then it's a good idea to wear a custom fit athletic mouthguard when working out. 

If the workout is very light with light weights, but still involves lifting weights, then a nightguard can be a good idea.
