Holistic Dental & Oral Health for Thyroid Patients | Dr David Cowhig | 109

Let's Talk Thyroid

Have you ever wondered if there is a connection between your thyroid, dental and oral health? My guest, holistic dentist, Dr David Cowhig joins me to explain the connection and answer many of my dental/oral health questions.

The key areas we cover in this episode are:

• What is a holistic dentist?
• The connection between thyroid (particularly hypothyroid/Hashimoto's) and oral health.
• The impact of stress.
• Sleep - the massive impact it plays.
• Mouth and nose breathing - mouth taping, the pencil test and the connection to sleep.
• Fluoride - in your water and toothpaste - why to avoid.
• Questions to ask your dentist to support your dental, oral and thyroid health.
• Mercury fillings - what to do if you have them, how to have them safely removed & whether or not you should have them removed.
• Oral health - mouth microbiome and biofilm
• Oil pulling - the oral and parasympathetic nervous system.
• Nutritional support.
• Importance of hydration.
• What to look for in a good toothpaste.
