In this brief excerpt, the speaker explains that functional and integrative doctors frequently refer patients to wellness dentists because they recognize the critical mouth‑body connection. These doctors are trained to look for dental sources of systemic issues such as metal exposure, infected root canals, and bone‑healing problems known as cavitations. However, they lack the specific tools and expertise to screen and evaluate these dental conditions directly. Consequently, they value collaboration with wellness dentists, who can assess the oral environment, exchange the patient’s health history, blood work, and other testing results, and provide a detailed report of oral findings back to the referring physician.
