What if I told you that your dentist has been lying to you? That the toothpaste, mouthwash, and even the fillings in your teeth could be silently destroying your health—contributing to infertility, heart disease, low testosterone, hypothyroidism, and even cognitive decline?
In this eye-opening episode of The Dr. Josh Axe Show, Dr. Axe sits down with Dr. Staci Whitman, a leading expert in holistic and functional dentistry, to expose the shocking truths about modern dental practices. Dr. Staci is a trailblazer in biological dentistry, advocating for safer, more natural ways to care for your oral health—because your mouth is the gateway to your brain, gut, hormones, and overall well-being.
