In 2010, I set my appointment to have my dentist remove my silver amalgams ( fillings) from my mouth.
Eight years have passed, and I still want to reverse the “drill and fill” techniques I’ve encountered over the years from various dentists. 
In addition to having one silver amalgam remaining, I also have a root canal and a crown. I refer to it as the “triple whammy.
Why does any of this matter?
Your oral health is a direct reflection of your overall health.
If your mouth isn’t healthy, chances are you aren’t healthy.
Cancer and other ailments can be foreshadowed through the oral cavity.
In episode 162, I chat with Nadine Artemis about her book, “Holistic Dental Care: The Complete Guide to Healthy Teeth and Gums.”
Nadine drops the “skinny” on why it’s important to have a healthy mouth.

Inside The Episode
I called myself a “know it all” on this episode but I am not anywhere close to being one.
I learned more about my teeth on this episode than I ever wanted to know, and I’ve got some work to do to clean up my oral health.
Nadine does a wonderful job of enlightening me of why teeth aren’t dead but indeed living inside the mouth.
