You've heard of leaky gut, but if you ever heard of leaky gums, if not, you're about to be on gum issues. There's a whole lot more to oral health than meets the tooth. In fact, there's even a correlation between root canals and depression that we're gonna cover today with our very special guest author, speaker and biological dentist.

Lisa Beres 2:14

What the heck is biological also known as holistic or natural dentistry? It's based on the principle that oral health is intrinsically linked to our overall physical health and wellness. Biological dentistry is a revolutionary approach that integrates the health of the entire body with dental care extending beyond just the teeth and gums. Biological dentists prioritize minimally invasive treatments, they avoid toothpaste with fluoride and other harsh chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate, while offering healthy alternatives such as low radiation X rays, root canal alternatives, patient education and the use of biocompatible materials, biological dentists often employ methods like ceramic dental implants and Mercury removal techniques.

Ron Beres 3:04

Today, we are covering oral microbiome the risks associated with traditional treatments such as root canals and amalgam fillings. The importance of nutrition for oral health is why a holistic approach to dentistry naturally strengthens immunity against chronic diseases. With our special guest, Dr

Lisa Beres 3:25

Dominic nishwitz, or otherwise known as Dr dome, is a pioneer of biological dentistry and one of the first ceramic Implantologists in the world. He is the published author of the best selling book, it's all in your mouth. He is a founder of the DNA health and esthetics Center for Biological dentistry, and an international speaker and author of numerous publications. He specializes in holistic odontology. I'm going to ask him about that. Ceramic implants, nutrition, holistic health, health optimization and whole patient solutions.

Ron Beres 4:03

He is the current vice president of the International Society for metal free implantology, whose mission is to help as many people as possible experience optimum oral health without the use of metal based treatments. Welcome to the show. Dr, O,

Lisa Beres 4:24

welcome. Dr, dome,

Dr. Dome 4:26

thank you guys for having me that.

Lisa Beres 4:30

Quite the bio, very impressive. Yeah, they sent a long one. Sorry about that. We didn't want to leave anything out. We always are so impressed with our guests. We're like, we're not

Unknown Speaker 4:40

taking that

Lisa Beres 4:42

out. We appreciate it, yeah, and you are at the top of your game in this field. And so we did one show on this before, but I know we're going to dive into so much deeper parts of what you do and what this means, because most people listening are probably going to a traditional dentist and have no idea what this is. So. Let's just dive right in. And I really want to get started, because I know listeners are excited about this. So in your practice of biological dentistry, it's believed that leaky gums are an indicator of leaky gut, which I've never heard before. How do we know if we have leaky gums? It's actually

Dr. Dome 5:17

quite simple. As soon as you have bleeding gums. You kind of have leaky gums already. And the simple concept is that the entrance to your gut system is your mouth and the same mucosa, or, like say, the gums is basically the same material as the cells in your gut system. And if you already have bleeding gums, it's quite the same in the gut just one station further down the road. Oh,

Lisa Beres 5:43

wow. So when you say bleeding gums, is that only when you floss and or brush, if you brush and it bleeds, or just flossing, or how do you know you and have bleeding gums?

Dr. Dome 5:51

So healthy gums are not red. They're kind of like light pinkish, and they never bleed. They're just like your outside skin, they should be without bleeding. Okay? Of course, we are trained in dentistry to use flosses and all the different things, especially when you have gum bleeding. And 80% of all patients that live the standard Western diet unfortunately have bleeding gums, and therefore leaky gums or leaky guts. That's why we use all these treatments. But in nature, if you would have a healthy lifestyle and not so many processed foods and stuff, your gums never bleed. My never bleed. I don't even use floss for that. Really,

Lisa Beres 6:27

you don't even floss. Wow. Okay, non flossers love today's show, right? I know

Dr. Dome 6:35

some people will find this gross. I understand, but if you focus on a healthy lifestyle and nutrition. You rarely have biofilm like that fur on your teeth. You usually don't have. So my teeth are usually clean. Also, I have never had any dental work done, therefore my teeth are naturally tied together. Wow.

Lisa Beres 6:54

You've never had any dental work. Nothing

Dr. Dome 6:57

happened. Yeah, not completely correct, but I have never had any tooth decay. So the only dental work I had was surgery to remove my wisdom teeth. Okay, besides that, it's all natural. Therefore my gums are just in between my teeth. My teeth are tight together. So for me, it's actually quite hard to use a floss, because if I use it, I'll snap through quite hard and then probably get bleeding gums from using the floss. So I'm just lucky that I don't have to do these things. But I know that most people had density repair then I know they don't usually have an ideal lifestyle, especially on the western world, so therefore it's a good band aid. Do

Lisa Beres 7:34

you feel like in the United States is worse? Do you see worse tooth issues than like, say, in Germany, where you are, no,

Dr. Dome 7:41

I think Germany and us and everything in the western world is quite the same. So 2c k, bleeding gums, 2c k especially, is number one chronic disease worldwide, and it's completely, yeah, it's 90% incidence with 2c K. It's completely unnecessary. It's completely reversible and completely just a sign of the wrong epigenetics. This is all epigenetics, the wrong lifestyle, basically,

Lisa Beres 8:04

right? I love that you said that we did a whole show on that podcast back. I'll put the episode like, yeah, epigenetics tell our listeners really quick what that is, yeah. Epigenetics

Dr. Dome 8:14

is the concept that our genes interact with the environment. So any single stressor that you can think of could be your lifestyle, your nutrition. Could be the email of your boss in the morning, toxins. Can you be a dental repair, like everything that could be a mild stressor will affect your genes. So nowadays we know that genes are not as important. Genes is kind of like the gun, but you have to pull the trigger, and that's the environment and the epigenetics that activate your genes. You're speaking my

Lisa Beres 8:44

language, dr, dump, I because there's a famous study that showed, like, even with breast cancer, 90 to 95% of breast cancer, actually, I think it's cancer in general, is environment and lifestyle. Only five to 10% is actually genetics. And people think, right? Most people don't. You tell them that, and they're like, there's no way that can't be but, yeah, that's pretty

Dr. Dome 9:07

basically every single disease out there. So, I mean, diseases are just the concept. In medical world, basically there are 19,000 different diagnoses with a tendency to even be more, which basically just are named for a couple of symptoms in your body. So ideally, obviously, we wouldn't even focus on disease, but on optimal health. And then people that understand nature and how we are living, then it's quite clear that cancer or any other chronic disease is just, let's say, a miss balance or dysbiosis or any sort of stress negatively affecting the complete body. So it's usually reversible in a lot of cases. But of course, it starts with you, with you and your responsibility, you have to obviously also know about it,

Lisa Beres 9:58

right? And this is. Your body's at your body is in dis ease. It's not at ease, right? Something's telling you this

Dr. Dome 10:05

ease. That's good. Yeah,

Ron Beres 10:06

interesting. Well, if you're not using dental floss, do you use a water pick sometimes? I mean, are you ever eating popcorn and feel like you need extra help to get that kernel out of your tooth, right? Yeah. So

Dr. Dome 10:15

if I would have some meat or anything stuck in between my teeth, I would probably use a floss. And water picks are actually quite good because they are not as harsh on the gums. It's basically just with a lot of pressure going in between. You could definitely use a water pick. Okay, good. In my opinion. It's better than flossing.

Lisa Beres 10:33

It is, yeah, I love a good water pick. It just makes your teeth feel so clean.

Ron Beres 10:38

I mean, yeah, absolutely outside of phenomenal health which obviously you have. What do you do on a daily basis with your regimen? Are you just brushing your teeth and smiling and going to bed? Or do you do other things, like oil pooling or Yeah, so

Dr. Dome 10:50

let's say the bulletproof oral healthcare regimen they usually prescribe, if your nutrition is on point, is tongue scraping straight after waking up is just use a copper tongue scraper. It's an Ayurvedic strategy. Costs you about 10 seconds. You just simply brush your tongue. And overnight we have food debris, we have bacteria, all the stuff that is in that tissue. So we just clean it off. And if you do that for a couple of days, you will see that your tongue gets a little bit more pinkish and less coated. There's no more fur on top, so it helps against bad breath and helps with balancing your oral microbiome. So that's how I start my day. Then I usually work out, and after working out, I'll do my breakfast, and while I cook breakfast, I'll usually use coconut oil pulling, because I need a little bit of extra time. So Coconut Oil pulling is the natural substitute for chemical mouthwashes. You basically just take a teaspoon of extra virgin coconut oil that most of us, anyways, have in the kitchen right just put it in your mouth and switch it around for at least five minutes, up to 1520 minutes, whatever you have the time, and then make sure to spit it out afterwards, in the bin, not the sink, maybe clock it. And this strategy So oil pulling, especially if it's done with coconut oil, is antibacterial, is antiviral, it balances again, your oral microbiome instead of nuking it. Which chemical mouthwashes do? It helps with toxins, binds them, and also helps the gum, kind of like polishes your teeth and your gums as soothes the gums at the same time. So it's just a simple, basically cost, free stuff. The only trick is, or the only hack here, is, you have to do it. You have to make it daily and consistently. You don't have to do this twice a day. I think it's fine if you do it once a day. If you skip a day, it's fine too. But the habit is important, especially in winter time. It helps also with your immune system and against all these common colds and stuff. So it's just an amazing thing. It is.

Lisa Beres 12:54

I did it, I think, for a year every day, and then I stopped doing it, to be honest, I I was a good student for a while,

Dr. Dome 13:03

you know, I would just redo it or start the habit again. And then number three is obviously brushing your teeth, and I'll personally do it once a day. But again, I usually don't get any biofilm on my teeth. Nutrition supports it, so the foods I'm eating are mainly cleaning my teeth instead of getting sticky. So caveat here, for most patients out there, is not the case, because you will still eat your processed foods, maybe some flour, maybe some starchy carbohydrates, maybe a coke. Imagine drinking a coke.

Ron Beres 13:34

We don't do that. Dr dome, no,

Dr. Dome 13:38

okay, within a couple of minutes, you have that fur on your teeth, like all that coating that's called the biofilm, okay, if you eat, let's say a steak on Apple or raw carrot or whatever natural it usually leaves you with clean teeth afterwards. There's nothing on it if you have that lifestyle. No, I personally don't, but I know it's not for everyone, so still, I would say brushing twice a day. But important is, what toothpaste are you using? And conventional toothpaste,

Lisa Beres 14:07

it's the pits. Yeah, it's

Dr. Dome 14:09

a scan. It's basically just loaded with chemicals. Of course, all of us dentists are trained in university to use fluoride, because fluoride, we have been brainwashed into thinking that fluoride make your teeth super strong, which it really doesn't. It makes your teeth hard. That's true, but way more brittle. Yes, it's again, a band aid is also strong disinfectant. It's a band aid against the wrong lifestyle. So maybe some people need it for a couple of weeks, but definitely not every single day. And also, the fluoride we're using is not the natural calcium fluoride that you find in nature, it's sodium fluoride, which is a complete chemical, completely soluble. And I know we're trained to spit it out, but let's face it, a lot of it will be involved by your gums. Your kids just follow it, and it's compounding. Of course, one little toothpaste will not kill you, but do that. Any 3040, years, it just accumulating fluoride, which is completely unnecessary. So, yeah, 100%

Lisa Beres 15:06

and I know that it's a byproduct of the phosphate fertilizer industry, isn't it fluoride, the fluoride that's used in toothpaste? I thought, yeah, it is a waste product.

Dr. Dome 15:16

It's a waste product of a lot of different things. That's why they also tried fluoridating water. I think that they do it a lot. I think in different states or even different cities, even in California, there's still fluoride water,

Lisa Beres 15:26

right? It's a large percentage in the US. I want to say it's over 80% I think of water in the US is fluoridated. And exactly, yeah, Dr dome, I've researched this a lot. There is no study that I'm aware of proving that ingesting fluoride the way we get it in water has any benefit. In fact, there's so many harms to it, right? There's really no benefit to ingesting like the debate of, oh, doesn't make your teeth strong and should use in a toothpaste like some people think you still should. But why would you ingest it? There's no benefit to having it in your body, in your bloodstream? No,

Dr. Dome 16:01

there's no benefit. And actually, there are a couple of studies showing, for example, lower IQ in kids with fluoride consumption. Fluoride being toxic to thyroid. It's just, it's just another toxin. And yeah, let's say this way they are safer alternatives, without any side effects. So I'd rather choose the safer ones, especially if I know, as a dentist, I know if you use too much fluoride, you end up having dental fluorosis, which is these mod like teeth that look like added yellow, spotty, yellowish, whitish. And this is from too much fluoride, so you never know how much you get. And therefore the substitute, or the natural alternative, which is has a lot of research around it, you don't learn it in university yet. Unfortunately, it's called hydroxyl appetite. Super simple. That's what your tooth is made of. So a good, healthy toothpaste should definitely contain hydroxyl appetite,

Lisa Beres 16:54

really. Okay, I don't think mine does. I've never heard of that. Most

Dr. Dome 17:00

of them don't. And there's a list of other chemicals in conventional toothpaste, not just fluoride, there's SLS, which is a detergent. Why would you put a detergent then there are lots of sweeteners in it, sorbitol, sucralose? Why? Because some of these second tastes so chemical, therefore they need some sort of sugar to make it taste better. We have triglycan in it, which is, again, an antimicrobial, killing your GOOD bugs in your mouth, and titanium dioxide, which is banned in Europe for two years now, but it's not in the US. This just a white color. So titanium dioxide, anything that's white, if you're chewing gum, and you make up. Look for titanium dioxide. It's a non immune disruptor. Why would you put it into your

Lisa Beres 17:46

mouth? No sense, right? Artificial colors, artificial flavors, that propylene glycol, all of this nasty stuff that people don't read labels, right? And so once you read the labels and get aware, yeah. So there's good, healthy toothpaste out there, but that ingredient I'm going to have to look for. Now, do you have a brand or two that you know is sold in the US that you could give a shout out to or no?

Dr. Dome 18:09

So there's a colleague that is informing about a lot of these things in the US. His name is on Instagram as the dentist, and then I think he recently came out with a toothpaste. I haven't tried it yet, okay, but maybe you Google this and then you find something. Okay, there are a couple of them. What I would just look for. Mostly the problem is you will probably not find it in any stores, not in any conventional supermarket. I've tested or checked out every single supermark When I go to the US, when I go to Africa or Bali, the oral healthcare aisle, it's like copy paste. It's all the same.

Lisa Beres 18:51

So many choices, but they're all terrible, right?

Dr. Dome 18:54

Yeah, exactly. They're all the same, just different brand names on it, colgates and, yeah, you know how they all work. It's all exactly the same, same amount of fluoride, same amount of toxins. And you usually this is hard, even if I read labels, it's super hard to find something good for Europe. I've produced my own toothpaste finally, which comes out soon here. Maybe we can make it science. Yeah, yeah. We just, I designed it as a supplement. You can basically do it twice a day. I would definitely do it twice a day, because then you get the right nutrients and it tastes good. You can eat it. Your kids can eat it. Yeah, that's the way how it should be. It contains, obviously, hypoxia, appetite is important, but it's Xylitol would be something I'd like to see in a good toothpaste. Xylitol is a sugar alternative. It's from bird sugar. Recently, there has been a lot of buzz about Xylitol being a problem for your heart. It's not correct. So Xylitol is definitely okay because, let's say, the more pathological bacteria in your mouth that usually like to eat sugar and then get a. Then they can do this tooth case, stretch of Coco mutants, for example. They like to eat xylitol, but they cannot digest it, so they just die from it. Oh, okay, kind of like a Troy

Lisa Beres 20:11

and Hoth, okay, yeah.

Dr. Dome 20:13

So these are the things, or coconut oil based that just read the ingredients, and if you would eat it. It's amazing. Yeah, used to have some sort of an active ingredient, because a lot of these natural ones don't, yeah,

Lisa Beres 20:25

and like kids, we're talking about the kids, toothpastes are the worst. I think. I mean, they've got so much, like bubble gum and all these flavors, and nobody really thinks, what is that flavor? Oh, it's chemicals, it's sugar, it's artificial colors, it's all the stuff you don't want your kids having and of course, kids are swallowing the fluoride toothpaste that comes with the poison, right? The skull and crossbones, correct? When they ship these toothpaste, I heard the boxes have skull and crossbones saying, If kids swallow more than a pea size, take them to emergency. Yeah. Why

Dr. Dome 20:57

would you put something like this in your mouth? And I can definitely attest to this. When I was a kid, we had a toothpaste that tastes like gum. So I would eat it. My brother would eat it too. So you probably ingested

Ron Beres 21:07

them. Snitched on your brother, you just snitched on

Dr. Dome 21:09

I did. Yeah, we did. We ate it. It tasted amazing. I still have it in my mind,

Lisa Beres 21:16

but you miss it. Doctor, no, but it's true. And that's kind of sad that they'd make something that they want kids. I mean, they say it's to make them brush their teeth, but I don't know. There's healthy sugars and things they could have been using instead. There's natural colors they could use instead. So you have to wonder sometimes why they're doing Yeah,

Dr. Dome 21:34

I know some people feel that there shouldn't be any sweetener at altered, because there's this theory that any sort of sweet things will trigger some sort of an incident response. I think it's just in a micrograms, like very tiny amounts, that really don't bother so Xylitol is okay, hydroxyl appetite. Look for these things, and you probably have to find something online,

Ron Beres 21:56

or we're going to circle back to leaky gums, where we started from the beginning, right? People want to know, is there a way that we can check this at home, and if we do have leaky gums, what is the next best step for getting our healthy mouth back? What do we do? How do we get back on

Dr. Dome 22:11

track? So the initial glands in your mouth is just, do you have red and swollen gum tissue? Is it bleeding? If you touch it, does it bleed if you use a brush or floss, is it oftentimes bleeding or just simply being red and swollen? Healthy gums are more light colored pinkish. They're not red and swollen. So a lot of patients have that and usually because they have that fur on the teeth, the biofilm. So obviously we still need cleaning. And most people I see that have a standard Western diet, or standard American diet is the same as the same Germany. They don't brush perfectly, so they should see, minimum once a year, maybe an oral hygienist or dental hygienist to really perfectly clean it. And then the trick is to implement the strategies that I just told you before, you could actually start straight away, because just by using a less chemical toothpaste, the inflammation usually goes down, and we didn't talk about this yet, but your diet and lifestyle, nutrition is something that you have at your doorstep. You could change straight away. If you know what to do, this will also reduce the inflammation. There's a good study showing that our ancestors, they didn't brush their teeth, but they had no inflammation, no Tuesday k like Western Bryce even visited them nothing, but they didn't have processed foods. They just eat real ate, eat real foods, and therefore their teeth are hot as stone. That's the nature like your healthy body is immune against use decay. And then, if you have that all solid, there are a couple of micronutrients that help too. Like usually, what do you need to rebuild the gum tissue? And your gut mucosa is actually the same. They are quite fast in the turnover. So you need lots of protein, especially collagen, for this. So broth is are great for you gums, even collagen powders are great. And then, if it's bleeding, the number one thing is always antioxidants, such as vitamin C, anti inflammatories such as omega three fatty acids. So it could be salmon or just a supplement. So yes, there's a lot of things we can do, because the gut, let's say the mouth, is your gut repairs within three days, the tissue, if you have the right substrate and you exclude the bad stuff. Yeah, it's quite fast. That is most people, or for a lot of people, it takes 30 days because they're just so much in a deficiency, right? And they basically, they have a little bit of a, let's say the forest is burning right now. It's like there's a fire in the woods, in their tissue, and they basically put a little bit of gasoline in there every single day. So first of all, you have to get rid of the fire and the gasoline, then put stuff in that heals and stop the

Lisa Beres 24:53

problem, and then heal. Yeah, exactly. Stop contaminate. So we go to a holistic dentist here. In Southern California, and she uses ozone therapy, Ozone Water, ozonated water, if I'm saying that right, is that good? Are you a proponent of that?

Dr. Dome 25:12

Yes, in the clinic, we do fresh ozonated water every single day. Okay, because ozone in water is not stable, it's mainly 24 hours. But therefore we do it fresh. We have an ozone generator that produces fresh ozone from medical oxygen straight into the water. And we can go as high as 80 gamma, which is 80 micrograms per milliliter, and then thing. So this will definitely disinfect your mouth, but in a more balancing way, not by nuking everything. It's more like it doesn't really bother your immune system too much.

Lisa Beres 25:45

Yeah, because is it toxic to inhale? I mean, I thought state of California banned it. I don't even know. Obviously it's not banned because the census offers it. But there was a time, I think, when it was banned. And is it toxic if you inhale that you don't

Dr. Dome 25:59

want to inhale straight into your lungs. You don't want to inhale ozone gas straight into your lungs or your nose. That's what you don't want to do. But we use ozone gas for a ton of things, like, for example, every single surgery. For example, taking out a root canal that it was infected. We clean the socket with the ozone gas straight from medical oxygen, straight into the socket. Or I take out a cavitation, which is chronic inflammation a jawbone which is infected with ozone. We also use a lot of rectal ozone for our patients to detoxify the body and also help with dysbiosis in the gut. There's something you could do at home if you have an ozone generator. Some people do healthy animals. You know, some people do close your

Lisa Beres 26:41

windows when you do that, guys, the neighbors watching,

Dr. Dome 26:47

close the blinds, please. Yeah. So coffee enemas help you liver to detox, and the same is for ozone. Ozone gas, just way simple, it takes like two minutes, and it on top, it kills viruses, fungi, parasites, which all sometimes live in your colon too. So it's both detoxification and balance in your microbiome.

Lisa Beres 27:07

So when you say you don't want to inhale it, how do you use it and not inhale it? Do you put a mask on, or do you just No,

Dr. Dome 27:13

we have just tiny cannulas that goes straight where it has to be, and we also have a suction in the mouth, right next to whatever gas comes up, no one will Okay, okay. Even if you inhale a little bit, it's not a problem. Your body will just cuff it out. But it's not that you should do a lot in your lungs, because we could do ear insufflation with ozone or even your nose, but you have to do this with an open mouth so that it doesn't go straight into your lung, and if you have ear infections, it's amazing to use ozone, literally is a penny costing treatment. I find it's just the miracle molecule. And I mean, the first ever patented ozone generators were about 100 years before the first antibiotic, and the patents were from Siemens and Tesla. So these guys knew already, but obviously, yeah, they knew. It's amazing. If you do the history cause of an ozone just stunning. But it's not really used everywhere. But I feel that every single patient should have an ozone generator at home. It's just very good. Wow. Then you could do your own ozonated water and have that as a mouthwash, right? Wow,

Lisa Beres 28:24

excellent. Okay, very, such good information. Okay, next question, you mentioned there's a correlation between root canals and depression. Can you give us some context on that? We'd love to hear the science behind why this is and why this isn't more well known. So

Dr. Dome 28:38

I find at least it should be informed consent. This is not me saying this. It's a study from 2018 that connects dead teeth or root canals and their toxins in them from bacteria that live in the root canal that produce their byproducts and lipopolysaccharides that are just connected to lower quality of life, or even depression, anxiety, and I mean anything chronic or toxic in your body can lead to these things. So I wouldn't say that it's the main cause of it, but this is what I always say. If you already do everything to optimize your health, but you're still anxious or depressed or have any or don't feel superhuman, then it is time to look into your mouth, which is the entrance to your body, if there's any of the three health killers. And therefore, usually I ask three questions, do you have any metals in your mouth? Stand up? Metal? Do you have a root canal stand up? Or have they removed your wisdom teeth stand up.

Lisa Beres 29:38

And if you got, oh, because you have to have a cavitation, you could

Dr. Dome 29:42

have one. So if any of the answers right now, of you guys listening was a yes and you stood up, figurative, speeding, speaking, then it's time to look for a real bio dentist that knows how to treat all these things. Okay, and root emails is a big, controversial. Topic, because it's obviously one of the standard dental treatments. A root canal is basically a dead tooth. Because what happens? Why do we need a root canal in the first place? Is, when do we need a root canal? If you have a tooth decay that goes to the nerve of your tooth, you have massive pain. It's unbearable pain. It's because that chooses an extension of your brain. The pain is in your brain. It's like neuralgia. It's really insane. So we have to help you. You ruined it as a patient because you had that tooth decay in the first place. We have to help you. And what we do is we take out the vitality of the tooth, which is the pulp containing blood supply, containing the liver supply, and the autonomic nervous system. So we clean it out, we take the vital parts and then disinfect it and fill it up. It's really fall, then it's doing this is really a fine art, and it's really difficult because it's so tiny, but it comes with a couple of challenges for the overall body in the long run. So no doubt about it. A root canal works for biting. We can discuss it. It works sometimes for 10 years, 2040, 50 years even. But I say it was never a good idea to leave something dead in your body, because, yeah, no medical department would do it. If you have a black finger or gangrenous foot from a diabetic, they take it off. No one sees that that too sticking in your jawbone. We can also cap it so it looks amazing, but it's rotten underneath. So you have the bacterial toxins in there that are actually harmful for the body. They can also become a toxin, meaning putting an extra burden on your detoxification system. And also everything organic decomposes. So you know, if you throw me a rest of your meat into the bin within two or three days, it just stinks, right? Same with that tooth. So 99% of all dentists will not tell you that's bullshit. It's not. Our focus is not just biting. Our focus is optimal health, and we don't want to have anything chronically triggering you, so therefore, we remove them and

Lisa Beres 32:01

then anaerobic correct? So when they do a root canal, you now have the anaerobic bacteria. So

Dr. Dome 32:06

the anaerobic bacteria probably already caused the tooth to get inflamed because it went into the pulp. There are studies showing if you have a healthy tooth, that's completely natural, because of that immune system in that blood supply in there, we have a natural protection against the bacteria that are always in your mouth. But if it jumps in and we kill that root, or we take out the vital parts, no more immune system. So therefore, the juice now becomes the perfect cave for the anaerobic bacterias that are, anyways, living with you. They can just jump in there. And if you see the root in a electron microscope, you see that there's about 30 to 75,000 dentin tubules, very tiny tubals per square millimeter in there too. So if you put all these tubals together, it's around about one kilometer of lengths per root, where all these bacteria can just live in. It's a harbor. It's a cave. And the problem is our macrophages, our innate immune system. The cells are too big they can get in there, so they're usually surrounding it being in the bone. Therefore, if you really diagnose it correctly with a three dimensional X ray, like really look at the tip. Three dimensionally, 80 plus percent, probably even 95% of all root canals has some sort of chronic inflammation because they're completely infected, and the inflammation is just your immune system doing this. There are sometimes huge cysts on top. And the problem is it doesn't really hurt, because it's something chronic. They usually don't have a cone beam scan, which is the three dimensional one, just a two dimensional one, so they miss a lot of the cysts. But even if they see them, they usually just ask the patient, do you have any pain? Does it hurt? Yeah, if it's chronic, it doesn't really hurt. And then they just say, Okay, no problem. We see Jen in six months and monitor this. Okay, well, Dr John, there's

Ron Beres 33:50

several people who are listening that actually have root canals. Yes, and they don't want to take the time in the short term, maybe, or spend the money to take out the root canal. Maybe get an implant.

Lisa Beres 33:59

Well, is that what you suggest? Do you suggest implant? Okay, so the option would be a crown over the dead tooth, or just leave the dead tooth. Or option three, an implant. Is that what you guys recommend? An implant, the

Dr. Dome 34:14

usual dental career is dead tooth, root canal, cap, infected tooth, pulling the tooth, placing a titanium implant if the tooth is gone, okay, that's what 99.7% of all dentists worldwide will do. Okay, we don't do a titanium implant because it's another metal, like I said, with titanium dioxide, the same happens for the surface of that implant. As soon as you drill that into bone, it's quite clear that titanium dioxide particles will go into the bone, and then you find them in local lymph nodes, activating the system, causing peri implantitis, not very patient, but for more than 30% and this is just insane. And I don't want to put anything foreign into your body, or foreign, let's say what is a foreign. Body classified as a foreign body, which is a titanium implant. It always causes the same cytokines, innate inflammation, innate immune system response that a root canal, TNF, alpha, I don't beta, NF, kappa, B. So what we do for more than a decade is removing that that tooth, obviously disinfecting everything perfectly, but then place an immediate ceramic implant that is the long term solution, because it's from a natural, biological point of view, because it's completely neutral, a zirconia implant, which is a ceramic implant, is a biomaterial that's medically classified as a biomaterial, meaning this material is neutral, no electric charge, no toxins, and very clean. It's kind of like a healing device. Obviously, what you need to focus on is keeping your healthy, vital teeth. That's the best material, yeah. But if you had a root canal and it's chronically infected, it should be just seen as a long term temporary but the goal should be to get it out and replace with an immediate ceramic invent again. 99.7% of all dentists will now tell you, that's Combi bullshit. Doesn't work. It does work. I've placed more than 5000 so work. I wouldn't do it.

Lisa Beres 36:11

Yeah? Now price wise, will insurance cover?

Ron Beres 36:15

He's in Europe, yeah.

Dr. Dome 36:18

I mean, I trained dentists all over the globe, especially in US price range. Ceramic implants are a little bit more expensive when it comes to the material cost. Okay? Because a gray screw is just so cheap. I mean,

Lisa Beres 36:30

go out to your toolbox, get a screw, yeah. But if you

Dr. Dome 36:34

present a gray screw or a white one to every patient, no one would choose a gray one unless you want to be Terminator, but if you it just makes no sense. It's just a dentist who doesn't know about it. That's the main issue. In this case, the industry is still focusing on titanium. However, for the last five years, I've seen that basically all the big titanium implant companies are bringing out zirconia implants. So in Germany, at least, ever since 2023 they are now as one medical guidelines. So this is the same we have to tell our patients now, hey, you have the option. You can go with the titanium one, or you can choose a ceramic one, and it might be a little bit more expensive, but because it's now medical guideline, insurances need to cover it. Now, I'm not sure about this in the US, obviously, titanium implants are still cheaper from the material, but now comes the kicker. Imagine you have a root canal like this tooth, and I'll just take it out charmingly, clean everything, and put a ceramic implant straight away, which keeps you complete natural socket alive the anatomy. Put a temporary on top, and you come back four months later for your crown. There's two appointments, maybe three. I tell you the normal route. The normal route is, we take out that tooth, then we wait for three to four months until that socket is healed. What happens when the socket is not reserved, it just collapses, which means you probably lose a little bit of bone height and width and your gum, which is especially problematic in the front, not so much in the back, right? But then after four months, you go to the dentist again for the second appointment, and you realize, and up until then, you have maybe a tooth that falls out all the time. So then three months later, they do cone beams three dimensional, and realize, oh shit, the bone is gone. We need to rebuild it. So then you come again for new surgery that is bone grafting, and it takes you another six months waiting period until you have that bone back. No pain, more treatment, more appointments, and then we do another cone beam, and then we do an implant. And then if it's healed in you take another two appointments to build ground. So that's three appointments versus eight appointments and way less time. So if you add all the appointments and the time you maybe need to be off work and driving to the dentist, it's way more expensive. Yeah, and also the hustle, but therefore a lot of patients, most of my patients, actually fly in from all over the world, here to the clinic in the backyard, because it's quite charming. We do everything in one health optimization a week, removing all the metals, safely placing immediate ceramic imbalance for the root canals and taking care of your cavitations. While in this building here, we're putting IV nutrition, hyperbaric oxygen, saunas, everything you can name when it comes to bioaccum health optimization in order to make that body heal. That's

Lisa Beres 39:26

amazing. Great job on your center. It

Ron Beres 39:29

is amazing. Dr, do someone already has metallic implant or titanium implant? What would you do for them? I mean, is it hard to take that metal screw out and put the new one in? If

Dr. Dome 39:40

you don't know how, yes, but if you know how, no, it's basically the same as taking the routine allowed. Sometimes it's a bit difficult, but again, if you do these things 1000s of times, you're just getting used to it. So our treatment plan is always remotely so you send in just a your current panoramic X ray. It's not the three dimensional, one to two dimension. Slow one. You can get that basically at every single dentist. Yeah. And then we see on that X ray, oh, wow, there's metals, there's root canal in there. You had wisdom teeth, so you suspect cavitation. Then we send a treatment plan what we would do, and suggest, if there's a titanium implant, we suggest removing it and replacing it, like a root canal, with the ceramic implant, because it's just neutral, even if you wouldn't be allergic or sensitive to titanium. The third problem with metals these days. The first problem is immunology. Second is could be toxic, and third is we living in a world of 3g 4g 5g electromagnetic fields. Every metal in your body is always an antenna. So therefore, even if you don't feed anything, you could be electro hypersensitive from it. They heat up if you have a phone call with your cell phone. So I just treat every single patients the way I would treat myself or my wife or my mom or my dad, and I wouldn't do it for them. So why would I do it for my patients? Make

Lisa Beres 40:57

sense now, going back to root canals, and I don't know if you know about this, but I've heard a lot about a link to breast cancer with root canals. Have you heard of that link?

Dr. Dome 41:08

Yeah, there's a link to breast cancer. There's also link to breast cancer from cavitations. Just super simple, again, the main issue is stress, chronic stress, chronic inflammation is chronic stress, so anything chronically infected leaves you with a chronic inflammation. We don't want to have any chronic inflammation in our body, because this will disrupt your system. Can lead to cancer in the long run, never say it's causative for it, but even in medical world, if we have a patient with cancer, they send to us and check for possible toxicity or possible inflammation. Problem, again, is the dentist will only look for gum disease and maybe cheese decay or maybe an infected root canal, but not as thoroughly about metal. So we would then obviously look into everything that could remotely cause any inflammation, because that's what we want to reduce, basically zero inflammation, because this will lead to ongoing stress and cytokines and all these things are connected or stress hormones, neurotransmitter disbalances is connected to cancer again. So yeah, get rid of all inflammation, chronic inflammation. Acute inflammation is amazing. Chronic inflammation is the problem. Okay, yeah, and explain

Lisa Beres 42:22

what a cavitation is. So I'm sure everybody listening has probably had their wisdom teeth removed. Like, what percentage of people have them taken out? I would

Dr. Dome 42:29

actually guesstimate. I don't have correct numbers in the Western world, 80% plus. Wow.

Lisa Beres 42:35

Okay, I've had mine. You've had yours. The problem

Dr. Dome 42:38

is, again, epigenetics, because we're just growing too narrow because of the wrong food, not breastfeeding, whatever. We can go into this later. But let's say you had your wisdom cheese pulled. Usually, the only thing you get informed of is we will have a local anesthesia. We will take or maybe a full anesthesia. We take out the wisdom cheese. You will take painkillers, you will apply cold, and you will be swollen for days, and that's it. You're right. So

Lisa Beres 43:03

on your merry way,

Dr. Dome 43:04

exactly problem, what happens here, this is something you don't learn in university yet, is that this is a shock for the system. Huge surgeon, fast, big cuts, growing teenager, nutritional deficiency. You basically come into surgery unprepared, systemically, so your body can't heal it, and what happens over time is, because there are not enough nutrients, the bone doesn't really ossify, so it's not really building bone, but it leaves a cave. That's why we call it cavitations, in layman's terms, a cave in the jawbone where that tooth was. And the better words for that cavitation is if f DOJ, that means fatty, degenerative, osteonecrotic jawbone, because that's what we find there. Basically, over time, it didn't rebuild bone, so it became a cave. So

Lisa Beres 43:56

the gum heals over it. The gum heals over and then you have a cave under it, yes. Oh, okay. The gum heals

Dr. Dome 44:02

over it. And also, oftentimes the cortical part, which is the outside of your jawbone, of your bone, the heart part, is often close to but inside where we have these sponges, particles that basically looks like sponge a healthy bone, they're not existing. They're just dead bone particles and fatty tissue in that spot, fatty tissues, again, a chronic inflammatory process. And we also, there's lots of studies from Dr leichner Here in Germany showing that in these cavitations, we kind of have like a huge dumping area of environmental toxins that accumulate there, such as mercury or glyphosate, as well as fungi, parasites, viruses and, again, anaerobic bacteria, right? And it's in your jawbone, and your jawbone is an extension of your brain. So we have that nerve that transports everything back into your brainstem, 24/7, and it basically the nerve is directly below that cavitation and becoming toxically activated every single day. So. That's called retrograde axonal transport, and this will affect your brain ganglia. It will affect your hypothalamus, will affect your pituitary, will affect your complete body. But again, it's a chronic inflammation. Therefore, most of us patients, or most of the patients, don't have any pain, but they maybe have a frozen shoulder or have skin eczema or acne or illtail bowel syndrome or SIBO, oh, breast cancer, and it's connected, and they don't connect the dots is actually, there's a study actually showing that this the chemo kind that is overly represented in these cavitations. It's called ranchis. CCL five is the over expression of this chemokine is connected to breast cancer. So I would say it's better to not have it and know about it. Then it would be rude not to do it, right? It could be a high risk.

Lisa Beres 45:48

Yeah, you do advise for getting your wisdom teeth removed, but you would just take a different approach during the process of, like, making sure that is cleaned out, or ideally,

Dr. Dome 45:58

obviously, we train the moms before they even get pregnant, how to breastfeed, which is the first orthodontic treatment, how to have the right lifestyle, nutrition, so that the mouth grows wide enough to have space for all 32 T's, because that's how, that's how nature designed it. But oftentimes, obviously, they come too late and they're already narrow, then we try to do orthodontics to not needing to pull the wisdom teeth. But a lot of patients, is not possible. They just are too late. They have no space for the wisdom teeth, so they have to take it out. The approach we take is we prepare a patient for every surgery, Wisdom teeth, removal of root canals, cavitations, systemically, with my food design concept and the bone healing protocol, that means the ideal diet to support systemic bone and tissue health or growth, as well as the right micronutrients to support the same which is anabolism, making sure your body is in a surplus of nutrients that we need for building everything, not just holding tissue. Could be a muscle, could be everything. And they start this maybe four weeks prior, okay, just see and one critical vitamin we always ask for is vitamin d3 which is actually not a vitamin d3 okay, but the sun vitamin because that is directly connected to the calcium being in your bones or in your arteries, we want to have it in your bones. So basically 2c k is kind of like osteoporosis of your bone. And cavitation is an osteoporosis in your jawbone, but with the extra that is inflammation, chronic inflammation, cytokines, as well as parasites, viruses, fungi, again, another cave that you don't need. And problem is, again, we don't learn this in university, therefore, your doctor won't diagnose it unless he knows about it, right?

Ron Beres 47:53

Dr, job, I know we're getting close to time, but do you have any test like patient testimonials you can share with us before we leave? Sam, yeah, I

Dr. Dome 48:00

have tons of stories. Even myself was amazing when I had these cavitations removed. I had skin eczema when I was, like, early 30s and for a couple of years, and my diet was on point. In my lifestyle too, very fit and healthy. But you know how it is, if anyone has skin issues, everyone will point at you a your diet. That's wrong. That's your gut system. I know, I know, but it's on point. And then I realized, oh, wow, I had the wisdom teeth pulled, and we did a cone beam scan, and this was more than 10 years ago, so I didn't really know about the topic, and we found huge cavitations. Did the surgery. Two weeks later, I looked like a skin model. All the eczema gone, all the nervousness gone. That's just me, but this happens like just today, the big surgery I had. So chronic inflammation is always a stress, stress, putting you into fight and flight, sympathetic mode, being a bit more tense. You don't even feel it anymore, because you had it for such a long time. So this, the patient today, went straight into parasympathetic during surgery. So basically you take it out and they cry immediately, like a little kid. Yeah, you can even measure it and show on an on an HRV. So she was crying every single time. He's like, Oh, I'm so ashamed. I'm crying right now. And I'm like, it's completely normal. Your body goes into parasympathetic healing mode. It couldn't be better. So they get during surgery, patients get relaxed. You cannot imagine it if you don't witness it. Oh, another patient that comes to mind is another page that comes to mind. You can even find him on my Instagram, because he said, Hey, I want to tell this to everyone. His name is Brad, and Brad came in after a odyssey of seeing a ton of integrated, very good medical doctors, even in the US that couldn't solve this problem. He always had high rheumatoid factor and joint issues, and they tried everything again, like diet was on point. They biohacked Everything. He had a sleep track, his hormones ranging everything. But he still wasn't superhuman. He still had that high rheumatoid factor. And the joint issues. At one point, someone referred him to us because oral health was what they're missing. So he always had his oral microbiome tested, and always had dysbiosis like porphyros gingivals was always a little bit too high in porphyronas is directly connected with joint issues and rheumatoid arthritis. So he came in to remove his root canals play ceramic implants and the cavitations. And I think he had a couple of we did this, and on the day after surgery, says no one ever will believe this, but my joint problems are gone. Wow. I'm like, I know it's normal, but it's good that you tell and then, let's say, four weeks later, he sends me his new oral microbiome test and the porphyronas is 100% eradicated, zero, therefore all his factors when it comes to rheumatoid arthritis are just gone.

Lisa Beres 50:52

Amazing. If you see that

Dr. Dome 50:54

with every single patient for decade, for more than a decade, it's just a fulfilling part. And this is why I called the bio dentistry 3.0 concept in dental evolution, just just the next level, and every single dentist who is open minded or listening, it's just a different approach. You're not just the dentist anymore.

Lisa Beres 51:12

You'll be busier because people are seeking like, I know here we have a few, but if you go to I think it's holistic dentist.com. Like to find a dentist in your area. There's not as many as you'd think, and we're in California, like cutting edge here.

Dr. Dome 51:26

And one caveat again, holistic dentists, everyone can call themselves holistic or biological dentist. There's no real, let's say, proof of concept, or any certification behind it, and therefore, I saw so many holistic dentists performing a holistic Root Canal, which is complete bullshit, or doing still doing metals, but other ones that they have tested before. So the only ones that I can recommend are the ones that are really 100% certified, either through our curriculum or through the new bio dentistry 3.0 certification, and I explicitly have created a tribe that I call the real bio dentist, aka the real bees, right? Because only they know how to overlap high tech dentistry with the right materials, with functional medicine and how. Yeah, that's the 3.0 in the bio to connect it all. Yeah, yes, but if you just want to have your metals removed safely, there's a good certification already in the US that's called Smart. Like smart certified means safe mercury amalgam removal technique. And they are not necessarily fond with ceramic implants or cavitations. But if you have mercury fillings and you're afraid of them leaching out toxins, you need to find a smart, certified dentist. They know that too,

Lisa Beres 52:49

right? Because they'll use the protocols I was telling Dr DOM before the show started, I had my mercury fillings removed, oh my gosh, over 20 years ago, and the dentist did not use a dam so the vapors as they're removing the mercury can get into the air, and you can actually inhale them back in. So that's very dangerous. So yeah, getting that done through a certified dentist is so important. Okay, last question, Dr dome, okay, so creating a healthy home environment that's toxic free is something we educate listeners on on the daily so when it comes to oral health, how can listeners identify and eliminate common household toxins that affect our oral health?

Dr. Dome 53:26

I think the oral care products are household products. Okay, so basically, check your toothpaste, read the ingredients, all the stuff that I talked about a couple of minutes ago. Yeah, you have that in your toothpaste, throw it in the bin and find a new one, if you have any sort of chemical mouse, which is which unfortunately, 80% of all patients do, such as Listerine, that blue stuff. This stuff was invented to clean a floor, albeit, or maybe a toilet, but never put it into your mouth, right? You will have it toilet

Lisa Beres 53:55

cleaner. It's the same color.

Dr. Dome 53:57

It's actually the perfect toilet cleaner and the perfect floor cleaner. I don't know how they were able to market it to dentists or dentistry, because Listerine is everywhere, all over the world, and it is just new clean your oral microbiome. It's ethanol based, it's alcohol, and it actually causes bad breath, in the long run, not the fresh breath they supposed to be. So ditch this straight away. That's a household swap and the Coconut Oil Pulling find a new toothpaste containing hydroxyl appetite and xylitol, and I mean the other healthier, eat real food, throw all the processed foods in the bin. Find a pan that is without, like a non stick pan should be in the price or use a cast iron pan that's probably, anyways informed, but oh

Lisa Beres 54:42

yeah, guys, you can take one of the steps that you learned today, just one, just change that toothpaste out, and we'll put some links in the show notes, and I'm gonna find that one that you mentioned, because that sounds amazing.
