Josh (03:45.91)
Dr. Dominic Nischwitz. Welcome to Reversible.

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Dr Dome (04:35.038)
Thank you Josh for having me, it's my pleasure.

3
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Josh (04:37.57)
Well, it's a pleasure to have you here. I'm really excited to dive into this and we have so many questions. So first of all, I'd love to ask, what is biological dentistry and how did you even discover or fall into this field?

4
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Dr Dome (04:51.818)
So biological dentistry, in my opinion, is the future of dentistry, the next level. It's kind of like the evolution. And it is, so maybe you have to say what conventional dentistry is. Conventional dentistry in the first place is what we study in university. And this is basically how we repair teeth, how we fix bites and smiles. But it's not really something that goes beyond this. And biological dentistry is more like

5
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,000
the melting of this high tech dentistry that we learn is a skill with functional medicine and health optimization, or some would call it biohacking, with the goal to optimize the patient's health, which I believe actually starts in the mouth because this is the entrance. And how did I discover this? So this is a, I'm doing this for half my life, for 20 years now. I'm personally, I was personally very interested in

6
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,000
health or optimal health at a very young age because I crashed with poor health in my early twenties and basically got depressed after doing just too much partying. Well, like I took responsibility for that. So but this kickstarted everything. So during university, obviously was always good with my hands. Luckily, it was easy for me to do dentistry, the technical parts of it. I loved it. It was fun.

7
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,000
We had to study chemistry, biochemistry, and at the same time I was already learning everything about nutrition, about supplementation, about training, basically fitness, all these things, nutrition, to optimize me personally while studying. Studying dentistry wasn't my purpose at all. I just did it. Even in the last semester, there was something missing. Besides the high-tech craftsmanship that I loved, there was just a, I don't know, I didn't realize it back then, something was missing.

8
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
And this is what I realized after university when I started my residency at an oral surgeon because I wanted to become a surgeon straight away because he was doing amalgam fillings, those nasty black, silverish fillings. And I learned them in university. I just couldn't do them from an aesthetic point of view. And I had to, because he was doing it, I had to look deep into it. My dad was doing no amalgam for 20 years already.

9
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Josh (06:59.372)
Hmm.

10
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Dr Dome (07:12.574)
And I learned that's fine stuff. And then I looked it up on the internet and I realized, oh wow, this stuff is mercury, 50%. And it is the most toxic non-radiative element known to men. And there are people talking about it for 30 years that this intoxicates patients and make them chronic sick. People like Dietrich Klinghardt and early mentors of mine. And for me, this point was when the whole universe of functional medicine opened up for me because I was doing all the things for me personally for training and getting me healthy again.

11
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Josh (07:12.59)
Hmm.

12
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Josh (07:29.966)
Hmm.

13
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Dr Dome (07:42.77)
nutrition supplements, but I didn't connect it to dentistry. So this was kind of like my first epiphany moment when I realized, oh, wow, there's more to just repairing teeth. I can actually help patients getting healthy overall. And this is the concept 15 years later that we're doing now, bio dentistry 3.0, the overlap of high tech dentistry with functional medicine and health optimization, and this is what I teach on, uh, for 10 years for dentists.

14
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,000
And this is why patients fly in from all over the world because this is not just repairing, it's actually the total opposite of a regular dentist, but not against a regular dentist, but more like upgrading everything. That's why I said, just the next level, in my opinion, the future of dentistry are kind of like an evolution.

15
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Josh (08:28.054)
Hmm. I think it's long overdue. I mean, it sounds like you've been doing this for, you know, 20 years, you've been diving into these things. And 30 years ago, before that, even there were other doctors already talking about the dangers of mercury. So we've been 50 plus years of other dentists and doctors talking about mercury, but here it is. It's still actively used in dentistry in the United States. It's used every single day. And so what's taking people so long to catch up?

16
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Dr Dome (08:42.227)
Mmm.

17
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Dr Dome (08:50.921)
Yes.

18
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Dr Dome (08:56.134)
It's the same actually, I'm from Germany. It's the same in Germany. The problem here is there are a couple of laws. I'm just translating German stuff sometimes. So a medical product law, it's called in Germany. For example, we don't really know what is in the material we're using as a dentist. Of course we know it for mercury, for amalgam fillings, because we know it's 50% mercury. But different regulations, for example, in America classify fillings not as part of the body.

19
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,000
but as a class two device, kind of like the glasses you're wearing. And glasses don't need a toxicological report. So this is how they can go around it. And other countries made it more smart. They, for example, Scandinavia has banned mercury fillings for more than a decade, more than a decade. But they have a general mercury ban in the whole country. So then they cannot do mercury fillings. But this is not existing in the US. This is not existing in Germany.

20
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Josh (09:29.376)
Mm.

21
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Dr Dome (09:54.814)
For example, in the US, up until the year 2018, these fillings were called silver fillings, which is completely wrong because there's maybe 10% silver in it. They look like silver maybe, but it's 50% mercury. And there was one convention, the Myanmar convention in 2018. Ever since then, they're not allowed to market it as silver fillings anymore. They have to actively tell you there's mercury in it. But it's a bit schizophrenic because

22
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Josh (10:02.786)
Hmm. It's very misleading.

23
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Dr Dome (10:23.758)
If you tell patients, it depends on the country or the state in the US, if you tell patients to remove it, then you can become problems with your license. Whereas you have to maybe have a sign at the front of your office saying that in this office we're using highly toxic stuff that can cause birth defects. So it's really a little bit weird and it takes so long because we're still in this realm that dentists are not really...

24
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Josh (10:36.122)
Mm.

25
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Dr Dome (10:53.426)
medical doctors, more like the barber surgeons that just repair your teeth for biting. And obviously, you can easily bite on an amelium filling for years and they work beautifully. But it never changes. For example, in Germany, like the curriculum we studied in dentistry, the one that I studied from 2003 to 2008 was from 1959. So it was already outdated 25 years ago when my dad studied it.

26
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Josh (10:58.571)
Mm.

27
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Josh (11:19.158)
Wow.

28
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Dr Dome (11:23.486)
and it only changed a little bit in the last five years. So it's just so, it takes so long, it doesn't, university doesn't catch up, whereas university, no wait, let's say scientific literature in medicine, dentistry is a part of medicine, scientific literature in the 50s doubled, I think, every two years or something. And imagine how fast it doubles right now. What do you think?

29
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Josh (11:51.807)
Mm.

30
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,000
I mean, it's got to be multiplying 10 times over, I would expect as technology grows, but it sounds in practice like it's come to a grinding halt.

31
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Dr Dome (12:02.554)
It comes to a halt, but the data is doubling, I think, every 80 days. So basically everything we do is already outdated and this stuff we're doing in dental school or learning or that we just, that we even use it. This is partially from the industry, partially because it has been there forever, partially because people don't like change because of, let's say, just business and you know how it is. But luckily more and more people talk about it. And also there's one big point is that.

32
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Josh (12:27.659)
Mm-hmm.

33
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Dr Dome (12:33.438)
Dentists are subsidized by insurances. And as long as insurances cover, for example, amalgam fillings, this is German standard of care, is amalgam filling. Then you have to actively tell your patient, you can also have a white filling, but you have to pay more for it. And there's patients that don't want to have the bigger, the more expensive one. So it's a decision that needs to be done by the dentist being informed about it. Mainly they are not informed because you still learn it in university. They don't even know how much harm they cause for themselves. And second is probably then.

34
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Josh (12:52.543)
Mm.

35
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Dr Dome (13:04.375)
the money issue. And yeah, I think it's just like you said at the beginning, change is much needed. But it takes time, a lot of time.

36
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Josh (13:05.94)
Mm.

37
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Josh (13:12.21)
Yeah.

38
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Yeah, we need change in every area and aspect of medicine. It's really unfortunate to watch how far behind people are. And exactly like you talked about the insurance model. It's what's currently being covered. And what's currently being covered is the things that I believe. I mean, they make people sick. We look at what the FDA allows in our food over here in North America. We look at what insurance covers for treatments. It's really just masking symptoms, not getting people better in the medical world. And even the dental world, we're putting mercury in people's mouths, which are causing all kinds of issues.

39
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,000
But I do want to segue to one question for you here, Dr. Dom. You know, I always just taught just like this, right? That teeth were kind of these dead bricks inside my mouth. They're used for smiling and used for biting and chewing. And that's about it. As long as you don't eat sugar, you'll be fine. But you talk about these things being extensions of the brain. I want to get to the gut connection, everything, but I want to preface how important these teeth are. How is it that teeth are an extension of the brain?

40
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Dr Dome (14:11.05)
It's just super simple. You just have to look at the anatomy of your brain and the brain nerves. I have a couple of nice slides also in my Instagram where you can find it or maybe put it into a B roll. So basically you have 12 cranial nerves that start in the brainstem here, down here. And one of these brain nerves is called the trigeminal nerve. And this nerve is quite important because it has three branches. One goes to, let's say your eyebrow, one goes to your upper jaw, one goes to your lower jaw.

41
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,000
And at the end of this nerve are 32 teeth as tiny organs. Kind of like if your brain would be the main computer, your teeth will be like, let's say an external hard drive. Kind of like your eyes. They are also an extension of your brain or your nose. Yeah, and these teeth are, like you just said, they're not just hard, white, shiny things to bite on. They're really classified as organs, meaning they are live. They have a blood supply, they have a lymph supply.

42
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,000
They have an autonomic nervous system and every single one listening in here can attest to tooth pain being one of the worst pains ever. It's like neuralgia because it goes straight into your brain because it's an extension. And obviously, whatever you do, let's say when it comes to repair on these teeth, will affect this brain nerve because the teeth are at the end of it and the brain nerve can transport toxins.

43
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Josh (15:25.82)
Hmm.

44
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Dr Dome (15:39.366)
like mercury into the brainstem, the brain nerve, the trigeminal can transport viruses, bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, inflammatory cytokines, all of these things, but no one looks into the mouth. And again, most dentists will not look into the mouth being the entrance hole to your whole body, but more like, okay, how can I fix this hole so that this patient can bite again or is out of pain? So we...

45
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000
That's why I said we just need to upgrade traditional knowledge gaps and make it a whole body dentistry again.

46
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Josh (16:15.95)
Hmm. Well, I have a question for it. Something I've talked about on a few episodes in the past, and it just makes me really curious. You know, I was talking with a girl at the gym just recently and she was trying to figure out where her gut issues came from. She's dealing with a bunch of irritable bowel and loose stools and bloat, food sensitivities, all the classic stuff. And we sat down for about five, 10 minutes, we were chatting, did a little history, found out that when she was 13, she fell off a horse or fell doing something. She broke her jaw.

47
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
had a bunch of dental repair and issues done. Ever since then, she's had sensitive teeth. But about five years later, she started breaking out in skin issues, had some acne and eczema and other issues. And then a couple of years after that, she developed gut issues. And she's gone through, done the GI mapping, she's done scopes, her docs try to figure it all out. And I said, go get a CBCT scan, like a cone scan, on your face and see if you have dark pockets above those teeth that were broken, cracked, or root canal. Then she had three or four of them. I said, just see if there's infection in there.

48
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
And so I'm waiting to hear back on that one, but I've had a similar issue when I was 15. I cracked a tooth, my upper right molar, second from the back, and it got infected.

49
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,000
it wouldn't take anesthetic. They had to drill the thing without anesthesia. It was, I have PTSD from, I can't go back to the dentist without getting clammy and anxious. And over about 15 years, just earlier this year, I had to get surgery done because they missed one of the canals and it actually burrowed through the bone, through the bottom of my sinus, got inside and climbed up to the third sinus in the forehead, big staph infection. And so...

50
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
My question is, these teeth, like this girl I was talking to, or like myself, what sort of issues can we be looking at long-term? I mean, it messed up my gut. I've now got a Candida infection, other issues I'm dealing with. So what are these infections doing low grade to the body, if it's just sensitivity or just running nose that you're experiencing? What's really happening in the background?

51
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Dr Dome (18:01.79)
Yes.

52
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Dr Dome (18:06.898)
Yeah, if you're talking about root canals or dead teeth in particular, so for some reason, bacteria went inside of the tooth, probably because you cracked it or you had a deep hole and therefore you get pain and then you get a root canal to basically get you out of pain as an acute pain treatment, then the dentist will fill their roots up, clean it, disinfect it, but it's just a matter of time when you look at this tooth from a microscopic perspective.

53
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,000
It has about 30 to 75,000 tiny little dentin tubules, which is the perfect canal system for anaerobic bacteria, for parasites, for viruses, for fungi, even for candida, whatever you just said, to lurk in there. And therefore it becomes kind of like a cave for microorganism. And if you have an immune system, the immune system is there to protect you. And you obviously have a strong immune system in your mouth as the first entrance.

54
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
and your innate immune system will cause an ongoing chronic inflammation. This is just how we react to it. Usually, the cells from the innate immune system are called macrophages. Macrophages are just there to basically eat the stuff and then send pro-inflammatory cytokines, which is proteins basically, to communicate. And just these pro-inflammatory cytokines can lead to

55
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,000
ongoing chronic inflammation, but these cytokines systemically lead to all sorts of things, muscle catabolism, chronic stress, hyperactivity, sleeping issues, just to name a few. Besides of this, you also have an infection, therefore you have toxins that are produced by these bacteria on a daily basis that you need to detox.

56
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
So it's always, and root canal is always the mechanical limitation. It has this immunological limitation because it can also become allergic to the stuff in there. And third, the material and the toxicology of the bacteria that lurk inside there can cause, again, your immune system to overshoot, your nervous system to get in fight and flight mode. And obviously, like you said, you even had a strap infection going up there because let's say starting from the twos before the first molar,

57
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Dr Dome (20:25.602)
Oftentimes teeth stick into your sinus. So if you have ongoing sinus issues Oftentimes it's just a tooth a dead tooth sticking in there or an inflammation. So you have to understand the immune system how this works you have to understand how toxins how to have to deal with toxins, but also and That you can become allergic to that to that toxin and yeah It's just it was never a good idea to leave a dead body part in your body

58
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000
We know like in medicine when there's a black finger or let's say a gangrenous foot from diabetes, we have to remove it because within a minute you have these bacteria in your system and the cytokines and the toxins. The same for your tooth but no one looks there because it's like can still look nice because you have a shiny pearly white crown on top but below it might be a short circuit that is like destroying everything in your nervous system or

59
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Yeah, causing huge issues and it doesn't even hurt because it's chronic and it's silent and it's inflammation. So it's really like a ticking time bomb often. However, you can bite on it. This is why. Yeah, why it works. It is something that you need to watch all day as a route. There's a documentary you might know. It's called Root Cause. It was on Netflix in 2019. It was about this guy called Frazier who tried everything.

60
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Josh (21:35.092)
Hmm.

61
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Josh (21:42.977)
Mm.

62
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Dr Dome (21:49.118)
because he wasn't healthy, he tried to become superhuman, he would do anything possible and still didn't work. And then he found a biologic dentist who realized on a cone beam scan, like he said, oh, there's a root canal with an inflammation, we take it out and from there on, he was finally able to heal. And because it was about a root canal, dentists petitioned against this thing to get down from Netflix. I think 250,000 dentists participated in it and then they took this root cause documentary off Netflix.

63
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,000
back in 2019. It was crazy because I was promoting it, obviously, because at the same time my book came out and I was like, wow, there's a movie about it, amazing. And then, yeah, because making a root canal is a normal standard treatment in dentistry. And it is a fine art to be, as a, don't get me wrong all dentists out there, no, you're doing a great job. However, it comes with these health consequences that you're not thinking about. And if you're a dentist who only do

64
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Josh (22:18.848)
Wow.

65
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Dr Dome (22:48.626)
does root canals from mornings to the evenings and you're specialist for that. Obviously you don't like that movie, I understand. But we have to go in growth mind and not in protection. We wanna help our patients heal and not make them cripple or whatever.

66
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Josh (22:54.734)
Mm-hmm.

67
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Josh (22:59.607)
Yeah.

68
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Josh (23:03.85)
Yeah, it's really interesting. We see a lot of that exactly like you said, where certain doctors, dentists, specialists will have one specialty. And if there's an evidence or science that comes out against that they are they're very protective of their career, their profession, their reputation, even litigation and potential lawsuits down the road. You know, and that's what one of these other dentists we were talking to Dr. Michelle was saying that if the FDA came out and said, Yeah, mercury is bad and root canals are bad and all these things, there'd be

69
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,000
the country against these dentists who are just doing their jobs and doing what they were told, which obviously is a huge problem.

70
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Dr Dome (23:41.652)
Yes.

71
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Josh (23:42.842)
I'd be very curious to explore a little bit deeper that the link here between the mouth and the gut because obviously you know we talk here about inflammation and cytokines and pathogens and toxins getting into your tissues into your lymphatic system into your brain but most people understand that their mouth we chew we swallow and that's the role between your mouth and your gut. Can you explain a bit more about the bacteria what's really going on in there with the tissues?

72
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Dr Dome (24:07.486)
Yeah, for me personally, I think this is quite logical. You have this big tube that goes through your body and it starts in your mouth and it ends at the back door. So for me, the mouth is the start of your gut system. And it makes sense. It's like the entrance hall to that whole hotel and the lobby. And you have a huge, like you have this, let's say, you have the second largest microbiome in the body is only in your mouth and it's the most diversified.

73
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,000
most different species living in there. Why? Because basically this is the first contact to the outside world. You know little kids stuff everything into their mouths to build the immune system. And you have these teeth, you have saliva and you know as soon as you think about food, your saliva starts to produce. It's called mouth-watering. It's mouth-watering. So just like you said, chewing food or smelling food and chewing it is already a part of digestion.

74
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,000
There's amylases, proteases, there are different enzymes that already help breaking down foods before they even go into the stomach and then in the small intestine and the large intestine. And you can see the bacteria that live in your mouth, there are so many different varieties, but the most important thing is that you have like a regular, let's say a regular balance. However, depending on substrate you eat.

75
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,000
this balance gets imbalanced or goes into a dysbiosis. Dysbiosis means you might have a couple more pathogenic bacteria in your mouth than the good ones. So it's all about balancing it out. And if you had, like for example, if you eat a standard Western diet, or a standard, yeah, no, standard Western diet makes sense. The incidence of tooth decay and bleeding gums is 90%, nine, zero, that's the number one chronic disease worldwide. It's insane.

76
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Josh (26:02.476)
Wow.

77
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Dr Dome (26:05.698)
And obviously, this is a lot of processed foods, there's a lot of soft foods and our teeth got soft. So tooth decay is not natural. A healthy body is immune against tooth decay. So you can already change your microbiome and everything in your mouth just by the wrong foods. This is something we know, we tell dental patients, don't eat sugar, whatever. But what you don't know maybe is that also what a dentist puts into your mouth

78
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000
repair changes the whole ecosystem too. Because if you had an amalgam filling, you have mercury in there and mercury kills good bacteria. Mercury also attracts viruses like candida and mold and parasites because they just love that ecosystem with more heavy metals. They actually, to be honest, they actually come to help you as a patient. Candida can take up to, I think, let's say fungi can take...

79
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Josh (26:43.63)
Mm.

80
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Dr Dome (27:02.098)
up to 10 times more mercury than a human body in their cell, in the outer shell. And they help you in this ecosystem, but they want something from you, for example, your energy. And obviously, if you have it in your mouth, you swallow it down. So the mercury will also cause dysbiosis in your gut system down there. Also root canals, more pathogens, then bleeding gums, gingivitis, periodontitis, that this is the entrance for pathogens or let's say.

81
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Josh (27:07.126)
Wow.

82
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Josh (27:13.279)
Mm-hmm.

83
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Dr Dome (27:30.382)
oral pathogens jumping into your whole system. This is called leaky gum. So you probably talk about leaky gut all the time. Leaky gut is just when the cells are a little bit disrupted or like open, but the same thing is, imagine you have bleeding gums, you have open wound in your mouth and you have pathogens in your mouth. So we now know three years later, after the pandemic started, that how this virus goes into your system faster is if you have untied or leaky,

84
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Josh (27:38.295)
You do?

85
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Dr Dome (27:59.626)
gums. It's just opening it for everything. This is also how we find oral pathogens in your brain to cause brain inflammation, neuroinflammation or in your joints. They're not supposed to be in your joints or inside your body. So as soon as you have inflammation in your gum, it's like if you have an inflammation on your skin, it's outside body, your gum is outside body. So when you scratch yourself here, you know it's getting red and then bacteria come in. You understand this. Same in leaky gut, but the same in your gums. If you have bleeding gums all the time.

86
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Josh (28:13.678)
Hmm.

87
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Dr Dome (28:29.786)
everything is in your mouth goes straight into your system because the bone below is already inside body, it's inside. And from there, it can travel throughout the body. It doesn't matter. It's like even in the brain they find it. There's a study from 2023 showing that you get brain inflammation from bacteria from your mouth. This is how important it is. And the only thing dentists usually tell you to keep that clean and safe is oral hygiene, which evolves around brushing.

88
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Josh (28:41.301)
Hmm.

89
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Dr Dome (28:58.862)
and mouthwash and flossing. But it's total bullshit because 90% of all patients do this and they still have all the problems. So we have to look a little bit deeper here. Why are we getting weak teeth? Why are they soft now? Why are we having bleeding gums? It's not because you didn't floss.

90
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Josh (29:08.802)
Mm-hmm.

91
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Josh (29:17.574)
Well, let me dive into that a little bit because that's exactly it. It's mouthwash, it's floss, it's brush your teeth and gum disease and tooth decay is everywhere. And so obviously it's going to come down to a lot to do with the microbiome in the mouth. But so many of us were raised eating junk food, fast food, fried foods, drinking pop and sugars that feed those bad bacteria, which then produce their acetic acid and lactic acid and chew away the teeth. And so we have these issues. So when I'm dealing with the gut and somebody's got gut issues.

92
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Dr Dome (29:38.888)
Yes.

93
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Josh (29:47.088)
I will find very particular things either specifically chosen probiotics, spore probiotics, antimicrobials, plants and herbs and things to deliberately manipulate their microbiome in their gut to get the ideal outcome or the ideal balance. So how do we do that inside the mouth? Obviously mouthwash just kills everything. How can somebody improve their oral microbiome? Is it just food? Are there probiotics? What does that look like in your practice?

94
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Dr Dome (30:14.066)
Yeah, so first of all, we don't do toxic mouthwash because this would basically just nuke everything. And besides this, most of the conventional ones are designed to be floor cleaners in the first place. You shouldn't put that into your mouth. So first of all, if you have tooth decay, it is not a fluoride deficiency, even though you're taught to brush with fluoride toothpaste. If I see tooth decay as a bio dentist, I look into deficiency.

95
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Josh (30:25.756)
Hehehehe

96
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Dr Dome (30:41.05)
Number one is always we test the vitamin D3 of our patient's chair side, like on the chair with a finger prick and see is this below the optimal range. Yeah, the normal standard range is the average. I'm not interested in your average blood work, I'm interested in optimal ranges. And then second is always ruling out things that cause chronic inflammation from the gums to the gut. And this is something you probably do too when you have a gut healing protocol that you remove.

97
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
pro-inflammatory sugars, especially gluten. Gluten-containing grains is a big one. Refined vegetable is a big one. Sugar anyways, but the gluten-containing grains, a lot of grains actually, chelate minerals. So besides causing ongoing inflammation, you get into your gum, which lead to poor absorption of minerals. They also cling to these minerals and hinder them from good absorption.

98
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Dr Dome (31:39.558)
and gluten sensitivity is number one when it comes to tooth decay, bleeding gums, second one. So it's basically every oral health care strategy we have designed and we are learning in university is a bandage for the general population, which like you said, eating crab foods all day long, which cause all this. So obviously I personally live in a bubble.

99
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Therefore, I wouldn't even need to brush my teeth because my body has no deficiency in any sort of nutrients because the diet and nutrition supports it. I eat foods that don't stick to my teeth, but rather clean them. I use no toxic mouthwash or chemical toothpaste. I use coconut oil pulling instead. But I realized, obviously, in order to get a normal patient to this level, we have to train lifestyle. And yes,

100
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,000
nutritional deficiencies at the forefront of your tooth decay. So yes, all the patients change their lifestyle, their nutrition, their diet to a more, let's say whole food based diet and skip the stuff that is pro-inflammatory. We obviously teach them over time to use toothbrush, toothpaste, that is, let's say as natural as possible. And obviously what you can ditch all straight away is any sort of toxic mouthwash because bad breath.

101
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Definitely is not a pump deficiency. It's not a chemical mouthwash deficiency. It's different. It's again, all the oral microbiome. But I understand if you're not right now having bleeding gums, definitely brush your teeth twice a day. Definitely maybe use flossing, but realize it's just a symptom we're treating. And the goal is to not have soft teeth and don't have bleeding gums, which is the standard, but we don't have it. So I don't have it. In nature, your mouth is perfect, like your head.

102
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000
I have pink gums, I never use a floss. Yeah, because if I use a floss with my teeth, I probably snap through and hurt my gums with it. And then they bleed. So there's no cost for me coming from a, let's say a more natural lifestyle and no deficiencies when it comes to my teeth to starting something unnatural like flossing. It is a bandage, it is an unnatural strategy, but 90% need it right now. But the goal is obviously,

103
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Josh (33:50.604)
Hmm.

104
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Josh (34:06.7)
Mm.

105
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Dr Dome (34:07.87)
So not needed. Do realize if you have bad teeth, you have bad overall health and probably bad gut health too.

106
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Josh (34:15.026)
It's really interesting you talk about this brushing no brushing and I often refer back. I mean, obviously I'm not a dentist. So what I can find is strictly anecdotal or, you know, observational. And so I look back at a lot of indigenous tribes living off the land, right, they walk bare feet in the grass, they still slaughter their own goats and eat raw kidney right out of the animal for breakfast. And so they're doing these very indigenous ancestral ways of living. And they have the best

107
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,000
teeth. Like if you look at a national geographics of a lot of African tribes, they have some of the greatest teeth you've ever seen pearly bright white, firm, no cracks, no breaks. And they also coincidentally, don't have a lot of these same diseases that we have over here like obesity, Alzheimer's, diabetes, MS, and, you know, afterosclerosis, like these heart diseases. And so obviously, there's a really amazing connection here. But I'd like to dive a little bit deeper in here because

108
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
You know, obviously the gut-mouth connection is pretty self explanatory. So I want to talk about some of the other things because when it comes to health, there are so many things that affect our gut and so many things in our, in our world that affect our gut rather, and so many things in our gut that affect our world and our experiences leading to anxiety and other issues and diseases. So let's talk about the things in our world that can compromise the body that eventually lead to issues in the gut. You talk about three main killers. You talk about metals.

109
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Dr Dome (35:28.777)
Yes.

110
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Josh (35:40.282)
root canals and cavitations. Some we've sort of talked about already but can you expand on those three things as the silent killers that are kind of not talked about?

111
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Dr Dome (35:49.97)
Yeah, exactly. So the World Health Organization says that 70% of all chronic disease actually start in the mouth, but they're only looking into typical dental diseases like tooth decay, bleeding gums, gingivitis, and periodontitis. They don't take into consideration that a dentist might have done some work than the repair. So this is why I always ask three questions for my patients or anyone on any stage on any keynote is, stand up if you have any metal in your mouth, remain standing.

112
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Stand up if you have a root canal, remain standing. And the third one is, did they remove your wisdom teeth? And usually 90% of the whole audience and most of the audiences I see are already health optimization guys or people that are interested in this, they all stand, even doctors. Therefore I know there's something lurking in them that causes ongoing chronic inflammation, immune triggers.

113
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Josh (36:26.734)
Hmm.

114
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Dr Dome (36:49.658)
nervous system triggers, toxicity, all these things, because you have to understand, we have an autonomic nervous system with two branches. We have the parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous system branch on the autonomic nervous system. Basically, whenever our brain, the stress axis, senses some sort of stressor, it's an ancient thing, we kick into fight and flight mode. You've probably heard of this. So the stressor was designed to be, let's say, a saber tooth tiger or a mammoth.

115
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
And but nowadays you have these stressors lurking around on every corner and it could be the diet, it could be the first email in the morning. But this is all things that you can work on your lifestyle. But what about one of the stressors is built into your system by dental repair 24 seven and goes into stress mode. And this is how we have to look at these. We call that oral interference or neuromodulative triggers.

116
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
because they can all activate so many things in your body. So like we already touched on metals, any sort of metal in your body, always look for, is it stressing your immune system? Are you becoming allergic to it? Is it toxic maybe like the mercury filling? 50% is mercury, is the most toxic non-radiative element known to men, so toxic. And number three, when it comes to metals, if you for example have a titanium implant, a metal in this world is always going to be an antenna.

117
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,000
So the electrical component of having antennas installed, micro antenna installed in your mouth, in your body, which is a battery, your whole system is electric. This can cause maximum interference. So let's say 50 years ago, when we had no wifi, no 3G, no 4G, no 5G, nothing, you probably were fine with the gold filling and maybe even a titanium implant. But ever since, I think ever since...

118
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,000
since 1995, we have cell phone and ever since 2008, I think we exponentially hit everything that we knew was a little bit uncomfortable for the body. Like there is no more, we don't even know how much Wi-Fi we have. So running around with antennas in your body will cause any issue, will cause ongoing chronic issues and maybe you don't even realize it. I'm just giving information here and I can tell you that luckily we're living in a age where it's possible.

119
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Josh (39:03.458)
Hmm.

120
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Dr Dome (39:13.514)
to restore everything what has been done into your mouth, completely with biomaterials that are not metals anymore. It is just yesteryear stuff, stuff that we don't even need to use anymore. So there are the possibilities. We, in our clinic, we go 100% metal free, we remove all the metals safely, that is super important. And even titanium implants can be removed and replaced by neutral, natural, biocompatible ceramic implants. So there are options. I realize saying this right now.

121
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Josh (39:40.916)
Hmm.

122
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Dr Dome (39:42.878)
because I've given so many interviews over the last five years, that usually we have to tell listeners also, please don't freak out, it's information that I'm giving you. I give you the information, but I'm also trying to give you a solution straight away. So I think it's good that we maybe go into, okay, you have a metal in your mouth, okay, what is next? Oh, you have a root canal in your mouth, you now know it's bad, but don't leave the audience hanging by not telling them what would be a...

123
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Josh (40:04.214)
Mm.

124
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Dr Dome (40:11.058)
Let's say solution because there's always a solution, luckily. Unfortunately, 99.7% of all dentists right now don't know about it. And this is why I come in. This is where this concept is quite charming.

125
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Josh (40:23.542)
Hmm. It's really interesting. So it's basically talking about is these metals floating around heavy metals in the body, be it gold or mercury or aluminum from vaccination or consumption of something or deodorants or whatever it is, that these things basically, we have all these this Wi Fi and 5g, it's kind of like putting aluminum in the microwave on a very micro boat biological level. Is that what you're telling me?

126
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Dr Dome (40:48.634)
Yes, and actually there are studies showing you, showing that if you have a phone call or living in a high wifi or let's say EMF world, that the titanium implant will heat up inside your body because of it, roughly three to four degrees Celsius, I don't know in Fahrenheit, which is high fever around that implant causing your bone to get destroyed. And this is getting worse and worse and worse and leading to more inflammation in the body.

127
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Josh (41:05.678)
Wow.

128
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Dr Dome (41:17.734)
Also, there are studies showing that if you have a mercury filling and you have a phone call, that the mercury vapor that anyways goes out of a filling every single day intoxicating you is amplified because of that EMF, it just oscillates more. So literally, it doesn't make any sense at this point of time in our world to still have a so unnatural ecosystem in your body that you have metals in there, which can be toxic and stress your immune system and be...

129
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,000
antennas. It's just not necessary. Unfortunately, until this catches up in dentistry or school, it will take another 50 years. So luckily, some pioneers like myself included work on solutions for a long time. And we can say it is possible to remove everything 100% safely and replace with, let's say, at least neutral biomaterial, because that's the goal. Obviously, the best that

130
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,000
The strategy for the next 40 years of my personal goal would be that we don't need dental repair, but this takes another 40, 50 years because if we are able to teach on a big scale starting from basically before you even get pregnant, teaching parents how to feed their kids, how to use breastfeeding as first orthodontic treatment, and then what to do until they're grown up, you actually have teeth harder as stone, you have space for all of them. Like you said, these endogenous tribes.

131
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,000
They knew, Weston Price realized it. But nowadays our teenagers look like little monsters having no space for their teeth, needing wisdom teeth pulled, having tooth decay, having gum disease, having plaque, having a mouth breathing instead of nose breathing. So it's all degenerated. So it takes a little bit, but it's actually just because we managed to have the most unnatural environment. This is all epigenetics.

132
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Josh (43:06.282)
That's really interesting. There's so much that goes on in the body that causes these issues. I mean, it makes me wonder, I mean, because a lot of tattoos, I got two full sleeves, I got pieces on my legs and, you know, my torso. And so it does make me wonder what metals are inside these inks now looking back going, you know, am I just like a walking microwave? So it definitely raises some questions for concern. Is that ever something you've sort of crossed in your practice?

133
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Dr Dome (43:32.562)
It is actually, there are actually metals usually in that inks, to be honest. It seems to be not as much of an issue because they kind of like get more bound or are not as bad. I personally have no tattoo because of it because I learned all these things before I knew. Everyone wants a full sleeve at one point. And luckily I already realized, okay, there are metal, iron, metal.

134
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Josh (43:57.122)
to it yet.

135
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Dr Dome (44:01.538)
oxides in it. I'll skip that bit. I think you can compensate for it. I wouldn't freak out because it's different than having an active source of ongoing chronic mercury vapor, for example, out of your tooth filling. So still, people talk about mercury intoxication from fish, from eating fish consumption because there's mercury in the sea and everything. Yes, but the main source of chronic mercury intoxication is still that silver filling in your mouth.

136
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000
because it's active and it's mercury vapor that's coming out, which is HC0, which is highly reactive and can go through your cell membrane in your brain and then it will be reduced by catalases, enzymes, and then gets like let's say mercury vapor goes into HC2 plus and then it sticks. So there's studies showing that if you have it in your brain tissue, the half-life or in your tissues, the half-life of mercury is probably is around about 16 to 32 years.

137
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Josh (44:35.107)
Hmm.

138
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Dr Dome (45:01.19)
And if you happen to have some sort of detoxification problems or different snips for it, you might as well not even detox it at all. It needs somebody to help you. So fish already has kind of like biotransformed the mercury into a more methylated version, which is tightly bound into the proteins, whatever. So it's not as reactive. Still you get, obviously you can still get mercury toxicity or heavy metal toxicity from eating fish. Imagine how much it is if you have that stuff in your mouth intoxicating you daily. It's really bad.

139
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Josh (45:28.994)
Hmm.

140
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Dr Dome (45:31.25)
But pretty big caveat for all you guys listening, don't freak out or just go to any sort of dentist and let that amalgam or mercury filling drill out because you've now heard of it. No, drilling it out will cause way more mercury vapor to get released than just leaving it in. So you first of all need to find a strategy and find a dentist that is trained on how to remove this safely. This is then number one, don't freak out, find the strategy.

141
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Josh (45:59.334)
I like that. So there's a lot of lingering questions now, because obviously the role of nutrition in the gut is pretty straightforward. People understand it. Don't eat like an asshole and your gut will probably be fine. Don't eat McDonald's four times a day and you won't have so many digestive issues. But in gut disease, there's obviously a lot of issues with certain fibers, fermentable carbohydrates, depending on what kind of bacterial dysbiosis you've got going on. But on the other hand,

142
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,000
when it comes down to the oral health and how it triggers the gut. The reactions are gonna be same, but a little bit different because bacteria is bacteria, but they're different microbiome. So I'd love to talk a little bit here about your diet, what you eat, what you recommend to patients under certain circumstances, whether it's, you know, on kind of on a scale, their gums are currently bleeding, they're now recovering or...

143
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000
you know, they're working on their oral health and they're almost there. They just have a little sensitivity and just kind of compare the sort of the scale of severity of oral disease with the diets that you typically recommend.

144
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Dr Dome (46:59.442)
Yeah, so usually what we recommend is, it's called my food design concept. You have to see most patients apply for appointments and fly in from all over the world. So they start preparation for our treatment, let's say four weeks in advance by changing their diet already. So step one in our nutritional concept is removing the pro-inflammatory foods, kind of like an elimination diet, because this helps overall. So if you see...

145
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Every single diet that is out there, and this is probably where I gained the most experience in the last 20 years is, skip the crap. This is number one. It will help your gum as well as your gut. It will just reduce overall inflammation. And then step two is how I teach it, it's called thinking in nutrients. Why? Because I see thousands of patients having different sort of mindset. And as you know, diet is some sort of like a more emotional topic, let's say, can become quite religious.

146
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Josh (47:56.206)
Mm-hmm.

147
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Dr Dome (47:56.466)
So some people wanna be a vegan, some wanna be a carnivore, some wanna be eating paleo, some eats whatever. You know what I mean. There's so many mindsets and I don't wanna change it. I just wanna be able to optimize it. So therefore I created an umbrella which goes above all the dietary mindset and I call it thinking in nutrients or food design concept. And basically they learn how to use the macronutrients. And obviously we go as natural as possible. So processed foods are off the list. They're off the cards right now.

148
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Number one is always hitting your protein goal. So I will explain it to you as a vegan and as a carnivore, but we need at least two gram per kilogram of protein per day for overall anabolism and for building teeth and bones, because this is what my main focus is when they come in to have their oral surgery. But this also helps reshape, rebuild that whole body, whole system. So protein is macronutrient number one. Protein comes from Proteos, Greek, from Greek.

149
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,000
meaning of utmost importance. We needed to build your immune system, to build bone, to build tissue. It's not just for muscle building. Let's say it this way. So they have this goal and they can do it either with plants or animals. I personally prefer animals because it's just easier. However, I don't wanna change it. And then we have the other two micronutrients, which is carbohydrates and fats. And this is, let's say tier three from the concept would be looking into body composition of the patient I'm seeing.

150
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
as well as their, let's say, a couple of data like the heart rate variability and connecting nervous system and body composition, how do they look right now to the energy nutrients they need. So if someone has, let's say, a lot of visceral fat and body fat in the middle, usually I will put them on some sort of a low-carb diet because they're probably insulin resistant. And if someone is very athletic, they obviously get more carbs, but the good ones, let's say,

151
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
less refined stuff. And yeah, and then I look into the nervous system and patients mostly are either sympathetic, balanced or parasympathetic body types. This might be a little bit too complicated for you guys, but see this way, some people just need more plants, plant energy, more carbs, more like the leaner ones, the skinnier ones, the ectomorphs, and some a little bit more parasympathetic dominance. You can measure this with stuff like this ring or on a whoop band.

152
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Josh (50:09.661)
Mm-hmm.

153
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Dr Dome (50:18.97)
and then you can see, okay, this person might need more fats in their diet. And this super simple, takes me five minutes. This is what I teach dentists around the world because this will prepare our terrain for dental stuff because we don't do nothing without preparing our patients for surgery, for removal of metals. We do that all in one session. So they come in, they're prepared, we remove all metal safely on one day, we do the whole surgery, meaning I take out all root canals. That's...

154
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,000
By the way, the solution for root canals is taking them out safely, not ripping them, just taking them out, cleaning everything and putting an immediate ceramic implant, which is a biomaterial, versus titanium, a metal implant that 99.7% of all dentists use right now, ceramic. And then obviously we deal with these cavitations. This is chronic inflammation of the jawbone that stems from any sort of tooth extraction, but that's the question with the wisdom teeth.

155
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,000
and then the body needs a phase of being super anabolic for the next four to six months to really build everything. So we start by repairing or helping with bone and teeth growth, but at the same time, we rebuild basically the whole gut system, which starts in the mouth, I believe. And then when they come back, we finalize everything by giving them nice functional aesthetic teeth, which are again biocompatible and metal free. So it's an overall concept, and the nutrition bit is extremely important because this is what our colleagues are missing.

156
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Usually when we have a surgery in dentistry or whatever, we are informed or the patients are informed about the procedure, about the risks, about the medications and what to do with pain management. But no one ever explains to you how systemic healing works. This is why I had to systemize it and teach this in an online course and teach it for a decade with dentists. So that they get certified in the food design and the bone healing protocol.

157
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Josh (52:01.17)
Mm-hmm.

158
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Dr Dome (52:11.37)
then all the patients benefit from it because we have to do a surgery maybe and take something out. But if we have the, if we know how to optimize the body, it just heals better, like way faster, no pain, no swelling after surgery. How cool is this? Almost nothing because we also use hyperbaric IVs, anything from biohacking or health optimization. It's all there.

159
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Josh (52:31.658)
Wow, that's amazing. I mean, if I need, yeah, it's very next level. If I need any dental work done, I'm flying down to Germany to see you for that instead. I mean, that'd be awesome. So when we're looking at these things, I mean, it's really interesting supplementation. Because, you know, I'm a firm believer that our soil, especially in North America is so void of nutrients. There are studies suggesting you need eight oranges today to get the same level of vitamins and nutrients your great grandmother would have gotten from one orange.

160
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Dr Dome (52:33.395)
Next level.

161
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Dr Dome (52:40.006)
No problem.

162
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Josh (53:01.552)
you know all those years ago because of how we till the soil and turn it over and it's just dirt it's not bio regenerative we're not letting you know things die in there and grow over we're not rotating crops and using cover crops the whole farming process is a disaster and so there's a pharmacy i go to pick stuff up at and it's what i would call more of a holistic pharmacy all kinds of phenomenal supplements and natural protocols but of course they're also a pharmacy so they have

163
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Dr Dome (53:03.038)
Yes.

164
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Josh (53:27.682)
We'll call it an integrative medicine pharmacy. And so I was there a few months back and I saw a woman buying a bottle of fluoride pills for her kids.

165
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000
I'm like, one, obviously fluoride is horrific and damages IQ and it's a neurotoxin and there's no fluoride in your teeth. So that's not going to do them any good. So so my question to you is, with our food being void of nutrients, and obviously fluoride pills being should be a crime really to give those to your kids or to anybody. What sort of nutrients or supplementation would you recommend people take to help build their systems given how void our food is?

166
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Dr Dome (54:07.402)
The basics, this is what people usually miss. So one bit I already touched on when it comes to specifically strong teeth. So you have to understand, everyone when they think about teeth is just brushing. Everyone brushes their teeth, still they all have tooth decay, so that's not number one. So if you look into bone healing science and tooth forming is the same actually, we need a critical hormone which is vitamin D3.

167
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Vitamin D3 is produced in sunlight on naked skin during the daylight. And let's say every single person that lives above Los Angeles and above Rome in Europe is above the 30-second parallel, gets too little vitamin D3 from sunlight in around about six months of the year. So this is something that we always supplement because we know that vitamin D3 is there to bring in calcium into the bloodstream and activate certain enzymes.

168
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,000
that then help bring this calcium into bones and teeth. In order to facilitate this, we need vitamin K2 as a co-driver and magnesium. But then we already can make sure that minerals get into your bones and teeth because that's the storage unit of minerals in your system. Kind of like amino acids are stored in your muscle tissue. And then the other basics are...

169
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
The first basic is actually protein deficiency. Most patients have a protein deficiency. They don't eat too much protein, especially if you're vegan or vegetarian, it's hard. And getting the amino acids up because you need them for all the key enzymes. You need them for your immune system, for buildings. So I consider amino acids or protein, I consider it food, not really supplementation, even though it goes there. I think most patients need something like it because they just don't get it from food or eat the wrong foods, too little. And then...

170
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Stuff like magnesium, zinc, boron, trace minerals like boron, omega-3 fatty acids are super important for anti-inflammatory purposes, but also for your gums. Or bleeding gums, sign number one is vitamin C deficiency. So collagen is what you need a lot. So brothas would be great. So basically the nutrition we had ancestrally was ideal because we only would pick super nutrient dense foods. We had to actually hunt for our stuff.

171
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Dr Dome (56:23.526)
So obviously we ate the whole animal, we had everything we need. Obviously maybe a little bit too little sometimes, but never any tooth decay. So if you can hunt it, fish it, gather it, you're probably fine. Skip the processed foods, that would be ideal. And then look into key nutrients like as I said, vitamin D3, K2, zinc, magnesium boron, omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins. Those are part of my bone healing protocol.

172
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
And the Bohning protocol actually involves around 20,000 IUs of vitamin D3 on a daily basis, especially before and during and after surgery for at least six weeks because it's quite clear from research that we need way more vitamin D3 after surgery because it's upregulated. What is also clear is that vitamin D3, even if you're in sunlight, the half-life of the

173
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Josh (56:57.998)
Mm-hmm.

174
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Dr Dome (57:16.91)
which is 25 OH vitamin D3 is only 15 days. It's not exponentially built up, but usually, let's say in Germany where I live, you go into the summer and in summertime you're outside, you maybe get enough vitamin D3, you build it up, but then within six to eight weeks, maybe 10, it's low. And this is in November when everyone is getting depressed and sick. And...

175
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
You can usually measure this and their vitamin D3 is below 30, which is like subclinically low And I want to have it 60 plus hold you around in optimal ranges So yes You have to water your teeth like you do your plants and this comes right after brushing actually comes before it you need to Have enough nutrients because your teeth naturally speaking. They are hard as granite hard as stone. Why are they soft? Why we why we became so soft?

176
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Josh (57:48.226)
Hmm.

177
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Josh (58:07.586)
Very interesting.

178
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Yeah, it seems the farther we go away from ancestry, the sicker people start to get, which is kind of shocking. Yeah, really interesting stuff. Well, Dr. Dom, there's just so much that we could really cover here. I realize this is an endless topic. So I'd love to do two things. Number one, if there's anything you'd like to say, just kind of wrap up this interview as a whole, kind of some last words. And then number two is where people can find you or learn more about all of this stuff you're talking about.

179
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Dr Dome (58:15.155)
Yes.

180
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Dr Dome (58:40.974)
Number one, so first of all, I'm happy that you're interested in all of this and I hope I could maybe show that the mouth is the missing link when it comes to optimal health. Health in standard medicine is absence of disease. I'm interested in how to optimize it. So if you are on a journey to become superhuman but you're still not there and you tried your diet, you have your supplements, you go outside in nature, you do all sorts of biohacking things, even do a hyperbaric in IVs.

181
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Still not superhuman, I think it's time to ask yourself three questions. Are there metals in my mouth? Did I have a root canal? Or even did they pull my wisdom teeth? Because if you have a yes to any of these questions, then there's something to be optimized and you can gain more health. Because oral health and dental repair is actually epigenetically speaking, the most unnatural in your body because you cannot hack it away. It's not possible. You need to redo this and help that body heal. But luckily,

182
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Josh (59:35.138)
Hmm.

183
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Dr Dome (59:40.734)
There are solutions, so don't worry, it's fun. You just now know it, and now it's the obligation to heal a little bit further. And if you're a dentist listening in, and this might speak to you and you're young, wild, and open-minded, then we can teach all this, the concepts out there. I'm doing this for more than 10 years now and have trained a lot, but we need more. We need like a whole, let's say a whole tribe of bio-dentists, real bees, I call them, that are there as game changers on that mission, because it doesn't make sense for me

184
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
patients fly in from all over the world just to see us and they have no one right around the corner because it's just it's only in the zero percentage is what I'm doing. So most dentists will tell you it's total crap. So there is change coming. This is the first bit and where can people find me? Ideally the easiest is always Instagram because this is kind of like my central hub. My name is Dr. D O M E Domi. One

185
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Josh (01:00:16.898)
Hmm.

186
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Dr Dome (01:00:38.882)
And there's links, there's a tab by you, you find my clinic, which is the anesthetics, and there's a lot of stuff explained, you find tons of podcasts, interviews, I have a YouTube channel with a playlist for bio dentistry. So I'm basically here to be the PR agent of the whole mission, Optimal Health starts in the mouse, this is why I'm doing this for so many years. And the only goal is to reach as many people as possible to help you guys not suffer and to make a lasting change.

187
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
because people are suffering from with chronic disease and it starts in the mouth and no one talks about it. And we have to finally co-elevate it and all work all together in the health space and then can really change something.

188
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Josh (01:01:20.606)
I love that. Well, Dr. Dami, thank you so much for being here for sharing all of your expertise. I'm going to link all that stuff inside the show notes as well. I'll put your Instagram, the website, all that stuff available for everyone to check out. So on that note, thanks so much for being here. And hopefully, we can explore a little bit more and people have some resources here to check you out further.

189
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Dr Dome (01:01:42.41)
Thank you ever so much and yeah, have an amazing day. Are you from Canada? No

190
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Josh (01:01:47.294)
Yeah, yeah, I'm up in Calgary, Alberta, center of Canada. Yeah, just a little west. So we got the mountains, we got the fresh air, we got the sunlight, it couldn't be better. Yeah, well, thank you again. And if there's anything we can do for you, what we'd be doing, just as a side note, is we will have this, the interview, we have eight months worth of content already. So is there a time that you would like us to release this one for you that would be good or convenient?

191
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Dr Dome (01:01:49.365)
Ah, okay, okay.

192
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Dr Dome (01:01:56.686)
Nice. All right.

193
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Dr Dome (01:02:17.39)
Mmm, eight months already, so you haven't released anything yet

194
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Josh (01:02:21.65)
Oh, we have. Yeah. So we started recording back in June, July, and we got 50 interviews done in about three months. So we have at one interview a week or releasing it's

195
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Dr Dome (01:02:29.616)
Okay. Is this, where is it actually airing? Is this like on an open platform or?

196
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Josh (01:02:35.286)
Yeah, so it's a podcast platform. So anywhere like Spotify, Apple, Amazon, I heart, they're all over every podcast platform you could think of.

197
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Dr Dome (01:02:44.722)
I feel that January would be a good time.

198
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Josh (01:02:47.402)
Yeah, we can look at January. Let me, yeah, okay. Is there anything specifically, if there's anything you want us to specifically promote for you as well, let us know. Just send us an email with any links. We can drop all that stuff in the show notes as well.

199
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Dr Dome (01:02:49.182)
put it out.

200
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Dr Dome (01:03:02.854)
I think we already gave you the PDF. There are a couple of addresses. There's the website, just that people have the information. I think there's also a website of the cause. That's cool.

201
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Josh (01:03:09.622)
That's great. Yeah, we'll make sure we get that done then. All right, it'll either be good.

202
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Dr Dome (01:03:14.362)
Are you, will you share something like this on YouTube or like do a real together collaboration? Do you do stuff like this or what is your goal?

203
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Josh (01:03:22.494)
Oh yeah, we do all kinds of collabs. So what we do is we'll actually take, we have our media goes through and picks out, you know, five or eight different really great highlights and make social media shorts. And what we do is we post those every once in a while, once a week, whatever it is, we can definitely tag you as a collaborator on Instagram, if you'd like.

204
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Dr Dome (01:03:42.306)
I think whatever is good for the common growth because the goal is, you know, is health stuff is not really easy to get pushed. It's not like, it's not like going viral easily. Um, you know, there's so many, I think there's many things behind it, but I think if we co-elevate and work in collaboration, I think it's better for the platform, for anyone. So definitely let me just hook me up before you do it. So I know when it's coming.

205
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Josh (01:03:48.632)
Yes.

206
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Josh (01:03:52.287)
Mm-hmm.

207
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Josh (01:03:57.653)
I agree.

208
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Josh (01:04:02.91)
Yeah, no doubt. Well, let's, let's all do.

209
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Josh (01:04:08.974)
Sure. And so what are you looking for?

210
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Dr Dome (01:04:14.246)
No, I mean, if you like have something planned to collaborate when the when the when the thing is airing, just let me know a little bit in advance because we always have like a calendar of stuff.

211
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Josh (01:04:17.782)
Oh, yeah, for sure.

212
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Josh (01:04:23.986)
Oh, of course. Yeah. So what we'll do then, because again, we can tag you as a collaborator on the social media and that will just post to your feed. But you have a very specific aesthetic on your feed. I noticed as well. So if you want us to do something different, we can send you the raw clips and you can put your own covers on them. So it kind of matches your aesthetic, just whatever your media team wants to do. Let us know.

213
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Dr Dome (01:04:45.322)
Cool. What we also could do is if you want to send like this, you anyways produce a couple of shots, but you can send us this. If you send this video as a raw clip, then I can send it and we have made even more shots. That would be cool. Yeah.

214
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Josh (01:04:54.541)
Yeah.

215
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Josh (01:04:57.814)
Beautiful. Yeah, absolutely. We'll get you all the raw materials, whatever you need from your interview. That'd be great.

216
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Dr Dome (01:05:02.542)
Yeah, cool. That would be perfect because then we can have more. In this case, it's better. All right, let's do this. Just send it through email and I'll forward it to my team.

217
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Josh (01:05:06.294)
