The world of dental and oral care may seem pretty straightforward to most of us, because we’ve never known it to be anything else. However, today’s guest, Katie Decker, has had quite the health journey..with her teeth. While Katie isn’t a dentist, she has experienced an array of issues with her teeth, which led her down a major dental and oral health research rabbit hole. Katie hasn’t been afraid to share her research and findings publicly, which has definitely sparked some controversy online (especially from dentists).
Katie and I talk about her initial decision to have multiple root canals removed, and her eventual diagnoses of both hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s disease. We also dive into the impact of heavy metal in your mouth and throughout your body, the down and dirty details of fluoride, cavities, and root canals, simple ways to best support your teeth and overall dental health, finding a dentist who’s actually aligned with your unique goals and plan for your dental health, and more.
