85. Dr. Dominik Nischwitz: The Hidden Dangers in Your Oral Hygiene Routine

Go in every aisle in the supermarket. When it comes to conventional oral care, you have the usual suspects of fluoride containing toothpaste. And then you have Listerine. Look at the history of it. It is designed to clean a floor or maybe your toilet.

What are some of the signs and symptoms that your oral cavity needs attention?

Ask yourself these three questions. Metals in my mouth, root canals, wisdom teeth, pull. If any answer is a yes, you might have something called oral interference. Stuff that is imbalanced in your microbiome, your immune system, and your nervous system on a daily basis. You do everything to optimize your health, but you still don't feel superhuman. Then it's at least time to find a good biological dentist to sort out that oral interference.

Aside from getting their root canals cavitation fixed. Talk about daily oral hygiene.

The conventional dental hygiene is actually outdated. Therefore the toothpaste that I would recommend is always.

Ultimate humans. Hey guys, welcome back to the Ultimate Human podcast. I'm your host, human biologist Gary Brecke, where we go down the road of everything anti aging, biohacking, longevity, and everything in between. And today's guest is in a very, very, very special guest. You're going to really enjoy this podcast. He is the world's leading biological dentist and he trains other dentists, including the dentist that did the work on my mouth in the practice of biological dentistry. And if you' familiar with biological dentistry, this is a must watch episode because you are about to learn the importance of what goes on in your mouth and how it is connected to all of the organs in the rest of our body. Our mental health, our gut health, and our overall well being, performance and our longevity. So welcome to the podcast, Dr. Nischewitz. Or we call you Dr. Dom, right? Dr. Dom Nishwitz. Can I go with Dr. Dom?

Perfect.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you for having me, Gary.

You know, I'm really excited to have you on because, you know, my audience knows that I've really been on a mission to give biological dentistry a voice ever since. I had a very personal journey and my wife and my daughter, both of my daughters actually had a very personal journey with, with a biologic dentist, Dr. Jagar Gandhi, that you trained, as a matter of fact. And he speaks very, very highly of you. So to, to have the sensei on, you know, I actually had him inspect my, my dental work before, before the podcast, I was opening my mouth and showing him the implant. You know, and just for those of you that are not familiar with my story, just very quickly, I, I had two root Canals. And one of my teeth on the side. One of the sides I had a root canal on cracked. And so Dr. Gandhi is, you know, Dennis, he's a friend of mine. He obviously did not do the root canals. And I called him, and I said, hey, I cracked this tooth. I really got to come up and see you. And at the time, I wasn't coming to see him to have the tooth extracted and to have all of these procedures done, but, you know, he said, take a picture of it and send it to me. And I did. I said, so I took a picture of the tooth, you know, in my mouth, and I sent it up to him. And it was the 19th tooth meridian. And so he asked me a series of questions that really freaked me out. He said, let me ask you something. Do you ever get left anterior shoulder pain? And I go, that's really funny that you asked me that. I go, yeah, I thought it was a bicep tendon catch right in the front of my shoulder. And it wasn't enough to stop me from training, but I was very conscious of it. And then he said, do you ever get left lower lobe lung pain? And I go, dude, you are freaking me out right now. I go, whenever I do hits cardio on my treadmill, I get a catch right here. I get this left lower lobe lung pain, and I have this numbness right, right here. And I thought it was like a runner's cramp. And then he says, does your left toe ever go numb or does your left toe ever bother you? And I go, now I'm completely freaked out because my wife was always kind of making fun of me because sometimes I would take my shoe off and I would actually itch my left toe, or I would tap it on the ground because it felt like it was going numb. I never put these together. So he goes, that's your 19th tooth meridian. When we. When we take that out and clean it up, all that's going to go away.

Yeah.

So the biohacker in me kicks in, and I go, first of all, why wouldn't I know about this? Second of all, there's no way that all of that is going to go away from cleaning this tooth out. And long story short, I went up to see him. He did the prf red light, green light, ran ozone into my jaw, cleaned, cleaned it all out, and then put the ceramic implant in which. Which you taught him how to do. And what was the Most astounding was 48 hours after this happened, none of those symptoms have returned. They permanently went away. And they haven't.

Straight away.

Straight away, my wife, five days after having her root canals done by Dr. Gandhi, her back pain went from a constant 6 to 8 to a constant 0 to 2. Like. And very quickly, my. My daughter had headaches that she no longer has. So. And I could just go on and on and on. But what really astounded me was when we pulled the tooth out and I saw this little sack, the cavitation, and I asked Dr. Gandhi what it was, and he told me that it was full of bacteria and pus and parasites. And I said, there's no way I would have had pain. I would have had swelling, I would have had inflammation, I would have had symptoms. And when we burst it and we put it on a dark field microscope, I could see the macrophages going after the, you know, the bacteria. And I was sold. And I said, I am on a mission to tell people about this and to bring the practice of what you do to light. So I'm. I am really, really excited to, to have you on the podcast. So for those of people that don't know what biologic dentistry is. Yes, right. I mean, everybody knows what a dentist is. What is the difference? What is the mission of a biologic dentist? How are they different from the regular practice of dentistry?

Yeah, I always say it's just the next level is the dental evolution. Because obviously dentistry is a high tech craftsmanship. And the way I define the Biodentistry 3.0 concept is it's the overlap of that high tech dentistry with functional medicine and health optimization or biohacking. And the goal is obviously not to, not to just fix bites and smiles, but to repair the overall body and help patients to really heal, like you just said. And this is like, every dentist loves that tiny work, which is they need to do this.

Right.

But the fulfilling part is if you tell me, oh, all the symptoms are gone, because this gives me goosebumps. Up until this day, even though I do this already for 15 years, it's like, wow.

Yeah.

And this is how impactful it is. If you understand that the mouth is the gateway to overall health. It's actually the entrance to your gut system, entrance to the body. And the teeth are not just teeny, tiny heart biting things. They're literally tiny organs directly connected to the brain. Nerve number five, trigeminis.

Wow.

And therefore everything you do on these teeth or you repair teeth will affect the whole body.

Yes. You know, it's funny because when I. Not, well, not funny, sad, I guess, when, when Dr. Gandhi and I did our podcast and I aired our podc. Um, it actually got censored. Still is on Instagram. If you go to my Instagram, it says false information. Oh, man. I don't know who the fact checker was, but they fact checked it and, and literally says that teeth are not connected to other areas of the body. So in other words, what happens in your teeth where your gums or your jaw is not going to affect the rest of the body? And how do you, how do you address that?

This is the main issue in conventional dentistry is that we're basically not connecting the, the mouse to the body. It's kind of like it's an outside realm where you can just. But if you just look at an anatomy, anatomy chart and you see the, the trigeminal nerve, you can see that this goes up until the, the tooth, every single tooth has a connection to that nerve. So telling that it's not connected makes no sense. Just like telling. Like we said before.

Yeah. Fifth cranial nerve. Right.

You have 12 cranial nerves.

Yeah.

And the trigeminal one basically has three branches. One here, one here, and like upper jaw. And the other one is the complete logo. So as you know, when you go to a dentist and they give you a nerve block, everything is numb. That's because it starts here.

Right.

And. But it's completely not logical. Not logical that they say is not connected, but obviously they're referring to that meridian system that we're always showing, because meridians are still in the woo woo realm versus, if you go to traditional Chinese medicine, it's just how they treat. It's basically just an autonomic nervous system. And if you understand how the nervous system works, the sympathetic and the stress axis, then you understand whatever chronic inflammation or toxicity you put into your body will affect the whole system. It's kind of like if you take a hormone, you know that it will affect all your cells in the body.

Right.

Why do you think it doesn't do it in the mouth? It is because in dental school, you not, I wouldn't say brainwashed, but it's really about repairing teeth with whatever material. So in the last century and still up to this date, we use a lot of different materials, especially metals.

Yes.

Because they work for biting, but they're never connected that they might interact with the whole nervous system, the whole immune system, the detoxification system, this. And for example, in university, you have to study sciences. In medical school, in dental school, it's the same as medical school. So you study biochemistry, you Study chemistry, physics, microbiology, everything. But you basically learn in university that you should not put different metals right next to each other in physics in the morning because you know that there's a battery effect and that these ion will travel. But then in the afternoon, you go in dental school and repair patient and put a gold crown right next to an amalgam filling. So it's kind of schizophrenic. You learn all these sciences, but it's like you're just the dentist.

Yeah.

And this is the problem. And this is why dentists always have this connotation of, I hate to see the dentist. No one wants to go there.

Right.

It's a repair business. Drill, fill and bill. And this is what I'm going to drill and bill. That's what I want to change. Because patients that come see us, they're in for the complete treatment, and they tell you, I lost my problems with my gut. I have no more frozen shoulder. My mental health issues are gone. I have no more eczema. And by the way, he also put in beautiful teeth. So, yes, that is the focus. Like, it's a complete holistic approach to optimizing one's health.

I think it's absolutely got to be a part of somebody's optimal health journey. I mean, if you. If you're listening to this and you've had root canals or you have dental work that you haven't been addressing, now is absolutely the time. And I'd be happy to provide you with a list of. Of Dennis that he's trained, because my personal experience is one that really has driven me to be passionate about this subject. And then when my wife and my oldest daughter and youngest daughter all had the very similar experiences, I said, this can't not be the case.

And this is still the fulfilling thing. And if you do it like myself, I do that for half my life. I have that moral obligation to tell. Because it is so insane. Yeah. That you realize, oh, wow, even myself, I had the wisdom teeth pulled like almost all of the people out there.

Right.

And I didn't connect it to my various health issues. But then we found cavitations at one point, and in surgery for myself, I realized, oh, wow, my chronic back pain goes away. And had to laugh and told my surgeon back then, is this even possible? Then I had skin issues a lot. And then my diet was already on, on lock, like, perfectly right. And all the things you do, but it wasn't good. And two weeks after surgery, I had beautiful skin again after five years, and I had Like a little bit of a nervousness in the morning. Really thought, I thought early 30s, I thought I'm going to get Parkinson's or whatever.

Right.

Also gone straight after surgery, never came back. I understand why that is because if you have chronic inflammation and there's toxins in there, there's parasites, virus, etc. They affect the immune system, make you more autoimmune prone and shift your TH1 to TH2 system. But also just it, chronic inflammation produces stress. It's a stress.

And when you have that chronic inflammation related to the jaw, you're talking about these, you refer to them as cavitations. These are, these are pools of inflammation.

Bacteria, parasites, that's one chronic inflammation to job on. The other one is the root canals. They're usually chronically infected. If you're really being precise when it comes to diagnostics and use a three dimensional cone beam, you literally in at least 80% of all cases you see some sort of chronic ongoing inflammation on, on the tip of the root.

Yes.

But the problem is a usual dentist will only ask you do you have pain?

Yes.

No. Okay, then we just monitor it. But which, which chronic health issue is pain? Is it painful to have depression? No. Is it painful to have eczema? Not really. So it's, it's the wrong, the wrong tool because a chronic inflammation is basically the body got used to it and reduces the, the, the volume, the receptors basically. So you don't feel it anymore, Right. So therefore you have to.

Well, in the case of root canal, you've actually killed the nerve, right? So, so you killed, so now you could have pain, you just don't feel it. Right?

You killed it. And also because it's an ongoing chronic inflammation, your body just reduces the pain because it's kind of like a, let's say a laziness of the body because it has no solution for it. So it just reduces it, makes it a little bit numb. If the stuff is nump is really bad because you then, then you don't connect it anymore. So you maybe like you have that root canal and you have a frozen shoulder, but you would never connect it because first of all, normal medical school doesn't teach this, right? And most dentists don't understand. So this is where I come in and teach. Hey, it might be your chronic knee pain comes from that root canal over there. If you understand fascial trains and all.

So head over to theultimatehuman.com your journey to better health starts here. And now. Let's get back to the ultimate Human podcast. Let's talk a little bit about that. How how an infection in the mouth of the jaw that you that doesn't have pain. Because I didn't have pain.

Yes.

And I didn't have symptoms. Well, I mean, I guess these could be my symptoms. But by symptoms, I mean I didn't have something that would have driven me to urgent care center. Yeah, right. I wasn't sniffly, I wasn't achy. You know, I didn't have any kind of fever or, you know, rashes or any of the typical symptoms. And. But the symptoms that I didn't know were connected absolutely went away after the treatment. But talk to me a little bit about what these cavitations, how are they related to.

Yes.

The other parts of the body. What's the mechanism by which they're connected?

So basically a cavitation is the layman's term for something called FDOJ in medical terms. Fatty, degenerative, osteonecrotic jawbone. That's basically what it is. Mushy, fatty bone. This is usually from extraction of teeth. Which teeth are mostly extracted in the Western world, at least because of spacing issues. It's your wisdom teeth. Therefore I always ask three questions on every keynote is like any metals in your mouth, any root canals, any wisdom teeth, please stand up. And at the end, 95% of the audience will stand up.

Wow.

Especially on the health Optimization Summit and biohackers, they should know it, but it's not connected as a foundational principle. Huberman just lately put it into his at least.

Right.

The problem is it's oral health for now. Like the WHO talks about it. It's mainly like the WHO says 70% of all chronic disease start in the mouth, but they only look for the gum disease, the tooth decay and the periodontitis. But dental repair is not in the thing. And these cavitations resulting from previous Dental extractions could be every, every single tooth, to be honest is just the problem is that the dentist basically just informs you about the local procedures. You will maybe have a swelling, you need to apply cold, take the antibiotics, take the painkillers. But there's no systemic preparation of patients leading up to your surgery. Especially when you like in your childhood or teenager years and growing up with these wisdom teeth. So what happens is your body is in, I always say it's in hibernation mode, not in an anabolic state, more like catabolic or uses a lot of nutrients to just grow but not heal. Therefore people oftentimes develop dry sockets, which means it just doesn't heal. Then they have to go back to the dentist and they will put in like a local antibiotic and leave it open for healing. So therefore it basically is a secondary healing and doesn't really heal. And over time it's kind of like a construction site that never stops. And because it gets ischemic, so there's no more, no more oxygen in there. It's the perfect cave for bacteria, anaerobic bacteria that are anyways living in your mouth. It's a huge microbiome, they like to live in there. And in the US especially, mold is a big thing. Mold spores tend to live in these cavitations. They also found mercury, heavy metals, glyphosates, parasites, parasites, fungi, everything in there. And it's a chronic thing. That means again, body dials down the volume, you don't hear it anymore, there's no local pain usually.

Right.

But systemically, like you had it, but you would never connect it, there's a problem. And if you see just the wisdom tooth area on the tooth meridian chart is directly connected to your central nervous system, to your heart meridian and small intestine. Small intestine again, SIBO skin eczema, thyroid.

Issues like recurrent sibo like and for.

Example, yeah, if you don't, if you seem to, like this is what I always say, if you seem to do everything perfectly, like you said, lifestyle is on point. You do your training, you track your sleep, you do everything to optimize your health, but you still don't feel superhuman, right? Then it's at least time to find a good biological dentist to sort out that oral interference stuff that holds you back.

And start with this cone beam, which is the machine that I put my head in and it took like a 360 degree cone beam view. And when he showed it to me, the cavitation, and told me that it was full of bacteria and pus and, and, and parasites and what have you. I was actually a little skeptical.

Yeah, of course.

Until we actually burst it and put it on a slide and I looked at it under dark field in, in, in the back of Dr. Gandhi's office and I could literally see my macrophages going after bacteria and other things in that cavitation. So I was like, there's absolutely no, you know, chance that that's not, not true.

Yes, but the problem is this is something you don't learn in dental school. Therefore, if you have a cone being done by usual conventional dentistry, they won't diagnose this area because they, they don't even know about it. So if you have a combine, you have to have a dentist that is skilled to find these cavitations or at least know about it. It's a bit of a thing because they're not connected. And you know, these cavitations, besides being, let's say, a dumping area for toxins and all these things, they also contain a specific chemo kind. It's called Ranti's R A N T.S. or C.C.L. 5 in medical world. And if you type in or Google Scholar, Ranti's plus, let's say multiple sclerosis will probably find 3,000 papers straight away. So medical world, yes, medical world is looking for the renties, but they don't know about cavitations and dentists don't know about cavitations and maybe have tested runties but don't know how it's connected. Because rantis is basically not a bad thing. But if it's chronically activated, it's like an ongoing construction site. It's never, never stopping. And then at one point it flips.

And what is rantis?

That's a chemokine.

Oh, it's a chemokine.

It's, it's actually chemokine lignin 5, CCL 5. So both of them are corrective to search for them and they are high represented in these cavitations. But cavitations, again, they're not accepted in university yet or not trained yet. Therefore 99% of all dentists will tell you that's quackery or that's woo woo, that's not existing. Even though they see it. Maybe it's like, right, it's normal that there's fatty tissue in your jawbone. No, it's not normal that there's fatty tissue. It's a sponge's bone. Why should there be a chronic inflammation? Makes sense. Yellow bone is not good yeah.

And I think, you know, dentistry is got to be the only practice of medicine in my understanding, that thinks that it's okay to leave dead tissue in the body. You know, I mean, it's. It's dead tissue.

I always say it's never been a good idea to leave a dead body part in the body. No medical profession would do that.

Yeah. I mean, if you have an appendicitis, you got to take it out. I mean, if you have necrosis in your bowel, they. They resect it, right?

Yeah. Or if you have, like, a diabetic foot, they take it off. If you have a diabetic finger, like gangrenous stuff. That's gangrenous stuff in your mouth. It's kind of like the splinter in your hand that never goes away. Or an ingrown hair. But it's not like an ingrown hair, let's say a splinter on your arm, you will know, oh, there's an inflammation. It needs to come out. Right, Right. Because you see it, but here, you don't see it. But actually, it's even worse because this is central system. This is your brain. It's an extension of your brain. So for your body, this is way more complex than just having to lose the arm. It's like, really inside of the nervous system, chronic inflammation.

And.

Yeah, chronic inflammation is killer, number one.

Yeah. It's the root of all evil. And I was reading recently about the similarity, the identical similarity between bacteria in the. In the jaw and bacteria and cardiovascular disease and the specific strain of bacteria that they are finding in high amounts in cardiovascular disease. Advanced stage cardiovascular disease.

Yeah. There is actually a theory going on, and I had it with Stephen Gundry yesterday. He is a heart surgeon. He, in his opinion, is that the plaque in your coronary arteries and stuff is kind of like it's just a biofilm. And the main station for all the oral pathogens is usually the heart is next. We know that in dentistry.

So say that again.

So to it, it's like biofilm is basically how bacteria colonize. Like, biofilm in the mouth, for example, is if you drink a Coke, within a minute, you have, like a fur on your teeth. Right, right. You know, where is this? And this is just bacteria going in there. And this happens everywhere in the body. Like, biofilms are on your fascia, in your gut, but also in the heart. So if you get that plaque in your heart, this is connected to pathogens. And these pathogens usually stem from the oral cavity, because the second station, when it is swallowing of the bacteria, which you do about 140 billion a day and they go straight into your heart. And we know this in dentistry because if someone had an endocarditis before, we have to give them antibiotics before even doing an oral hygiene appointment, because we know that we stir up bacteria that go in there. But now we have a root canal which leaves you with a dysbiotic area, meaning more bad bugs. And they're usually activating your innate immune system, producing cytokines like TNF, alpha, IL4, etc. And these pathogens then also obviously can travel. And the infection goes from the tooth, through the lymph, through the blood, with it is in your, in your body within a minute, as soon as in the blood. And there is studies showing like one of the bad bugs in the mouse is always streptococcus mutants as well as porphyronis gingivalis. And there's a newer study showing that even neural neuro inflammation caused by activation of glial cells comes from oral pathogens, just as porphyronis gingivalis, which is, it was able to jump into the system. Why? Because you don't have leaky gut, but you have leaky gum already, which is bleeding gum.

Wow.

So bacteria just jump in. And this is how they find it in the brain. They find it in the joints, they find it in the hip joints and knee joints.

And they're coming into the oral cavity.

Extremely connected to rheumatoid arthritis.

Could they possibly originate from one of these cavitations and then leak from the cavitation into the bloodstream?

Yeah, exactly. They could leak from the root canal, they could leak from the cavitation because it's directly connected. So the nerve, even the trigeminal, transports oral bacteria, toxins, chemokines into the brain stem. It's called retrograde axonal transport. And this is proven since the 1920s when they put in toxic croton oil into teeth of debt of dogs. And they could find all the toxins within 24 hours in the hypothalamus, the pituitary, all the brain ganglia.

Wow.

I understand this. If you understand how complex the system is and how simple it actually is, if you understand the complete human body, then you. Then it's just like, ah, makes sense, right?

Right.

Something here can leach out. And there's also studies showing for example, that rantis is connected to even breast cancer like this chronic activation. And you can find all of it, but it's not, it's not really connected. It's not Connected yet.

We've long since been told that the metals in the mouth are not a good. A good thing. Right? Because they're conductive and they're interrupting not only meridians, but neuronal pathways. But talk a little bit about how that occurs and because there are a lot of people listening right now that have mercury fillings or have silver fillings or have fillings that are other types of metals. Golds. Yes. And then I also want to talk about braces because, you know, two of my family members had braces growing up. And you know, when I think back, like, well, that's a lot of metal in the mouth for a long period of time.

Yes.

So what are your thoughts on that? And, and talk a little bit about dangers of metals in the mouth.

So basically, metals come with three challenges. So let's say they're just you. So in dentistry, use all sorts of metals to repair teeth. The one filling you're just referring to was this silver black filling, which is called an amalgam filling. And this contains 50% of mercury. And we know that mercury is the most toxic, non radioactive element known to men. And as soon as we take it out from the mouth of a patient, we have to remove it as highly toxic waste. But in the mouse, for some reason, it's super healthy and completely bound. Makes no sense.

Hold on. So as soon as you take it out, you have to treat it as highly toxic?

Yes, we have to. It's really. There's someone coming in like a special delivery system system or picking up system to take it away. Yeah, we also, we know all this but obviously this material is super for filling and super simple and it lasts forever and insurance is subsidized it. So finally I think finally in 2025 they banned it in Europe finally versus like in Russia it's banned for 30 years. In Scandinavian countries it's banned for almost 20 years because they have a general mercury free environment strategy. So you cannot put it in the mouth. And for me back then it was just an ugly material. I could never place a black filling if I can do a white one.

How long ago in America could you still put mercury in the mouth or can you still do it today?

In America you can still do it today. Ever since 2018 there was a convention, the Myanmar convention. You're not allowed to call it silver fillings anymore. So marketing was silver fillings. Yes, a little bit of silver in it, but it's 50. It's mercury filling. So they now have to tell you it's mercury amalgam filling. Yeah, at least. And I think it's only a matter of time. Usually the Germany hangs on the to the US So US comes first but in this case Europe comes first or Germany and I think then at one point the US should also stop using these. Yeah really toxic fillings. So it's in metals the challenges are always toxicity which would be the mercury is very toxic.

Right.

And it's toxicity is a little bit dose dependent. But the second challenge is always the immunolog. Immunology meaning your body can become allergic to all this. They can become allergic to gold, can become allergic to nickel as you know or mercury. I think there's a, there's a very good study that where they did lymphocyte transformation test. It's a blood test to see if there is a type 4 allergy towards metals. And number one is always nickel as we know. But you still find it in dental material.

Yes.

Even in titanium implants. They could be nickel contaminated in the, in the braces. But then second is usually mercury. Which is the main source of mercury toxicity is not the fish you're eating is still that mercury amalgam filling? Just you need to know and why.

Is it, is it the, is the mercury leaking over time which means that the filling is dissolving or, or is it, is it the conductivity of it for both.

This is a, this is the argument that the dentist will tell you. If it would be leaking then it would be gone at one Point.

Right.

No, the problem is through, let's say chewing, grinding, oral hygiene, brushing, eating, drinking, acidic food, you dissolve a tiny little bit of mercury vapor every single day. It's around about 2 to 3 microns per day. It's like nothing. It's a. Millions of an. Of a particles. And this is, this is. You don't smell it, it's odorless.

Right.

And you don't see it. And the problem is with this Mercury Vapor, it's HC0. It goes directly into the cells. So even the rubber dam and stuff, it doesn't it just go through seven layers of, of gloves, etc. Just goes into your cell. And then the only way to get rid of it is basically the cell dying. The problem is in the brain, for example, in the, in the nervous tissue, you have a lot of catalases that basically oxidize that HD0 to HC2 plus, and then the half life becomes 16 to 32 years in your system. So you're chronically intoxicating your whole cells. And number one station is always your pituitary and your jawbone. Obviously, like, there's studies showing so, so.

So the mercury will literally migrate to a location like pituitary, for example.

Yeah, so there is a, there's a study showing like they did in the 90s. There was kind of like the amalgam wars, but they did a lot of research about how these mercury, how the mercury leeches out from these fillings. And they did one, one research with a. I think it was a sheep study, and I'm not sure about the other one if it was a monkey. But basically they put the fillings and then within 24 hours they look where the mercury went to. And within a minute, like the complete jawbone is, is basically mercury toxic.

Right.

But they also find it in all the detoxification organs, kidneys and liver, intestines, and also the brain tissue within a couple of hours, which makes perfect sense.

Right.

But this is not connected. And as, you know, like we, as dentists, we usually, we have to drill it out so we don't have this procedure once in our lifetime. Sometimes we do 10 mammalian fillings a day. Not protecting us. There's studies showing that the pituitary gland, especially of dentists, is full of this mercury, which leads to stuff like Mad Hatter's disease, as, you know, maybe Mad Hatters, you know. Right, yeah, the Mad Hatters. Were these the actually in. In. I think it was in England in the early 1900s.

How fitting that we're in London right now. Yeah, exactly.

They were just using mercury to make the heads, like nice head rims or whatever you call it. And they all got Mad Hatter's disease, which is they got crazy and couldn't think straight anymore. Same obviously happens always if you work with mercury. So the toxicity is a problem. Then the immunology. And the third bit that is still a little bit woo woo, not for you, not for us in this realm is emf. If you have any sort of metal in your body, it's going to be an antenna. And the Antenna you have 3G, 4G, 5G Wi Fi everywhere. This will lead to more vapor coming out. There's even studies showing if you have a phone call just with your regular cell phone, you usually have the, the electromagnetic waves go to the cell phone and the tower and back.

Right.

But if you have any sort of metal activates and it connects and amplifies it. So any sort of metal. And for mercury fillings, actually it shows that the vapor is more, it's more production vapor. Yeah. And obviously the conductivity is a thing. Then you have your electrolyte in your mouth.

Right.

You know that you have different metals and an electrolyte solution that they will travel and ionize. And same like for example, put a, put a picture a, the propeller of a boat below the sea. How does it look after a couple of years? It's rusty. Right?

Right.

The same happens in the mouth, it's just normal. So it's not a good idea at least in these days to put metals in your body. And luckily we can replace all of them with biomaterials.

Yeah. Is that with amalgamate or with one of ceramics?

Yeah. For example, if you have lost the tooth, 99% of 99.7% of all dentists worldwide use a titanium implant. Titanium implant is a metal, it's a foreign particle. It will always cause ongoing inflammation. What we do for more than a decade is a ceramic. And that's what you have?

Yeah.

Why? Because the ceramic implant is just a zirconia. It's just a healing stone. It's completely neutral to the body. And finally, luckily less ever since 2023, it is medical guideline in Germany. So what they were attacking me for five years ago when, when I came out with my book is now guidelines. So they cannot say any guideline and it's on top. The zirconia is medically proven a biomaterial. It's completely neutral to the body. It is just more difficult to also integrate it because you have to think about Systemic bone healing. This big part of my teachings.

Right.

And make that body anabolic so that it really heals after surgery. And then it will just grow with you and be a part of your body.

Okay.

Obviously the best material is your healthy tooth, but if that ship has sailed, we need to have a solution.

Yeah. And, and I noticed that one of the things that Dr. Gandhi told me about this new implant was that the gum would fuse to it rather than sort of have a, a metal edge and then the gum roll up and, and, and not really form a bond.

Yeah.

So I can see that in my.

Yeah, it looks perfect. Like base. This is one of the biggest things because an implant is a prosthesis. It's actually an endo exoprosthesis. So it, it goes through the opening of your oral cavity. Like, because bone is inside body.

Right.

Then gum is like your skin is a protective barrier. And if you have some sort of metals. Metals, and, and, and the gum, they don't like each other. There's just usually a chronic inflammation. Yeah. If you have like a tissue level metal implant, which is not the standard these days, but then obviously the gum is always open because it will never grow together. Versus. And this is from the titanium implantology. Actually, if you use a ceramic abutment and you have a bone level titanium implant, it will grow onto the ceramic. But what if the complete implant is ceramic? Way better. Right. And then you have a tight junction. No leaky gum. Therefore it's closed. And this is, I think it's probably the, the most important thing about these ceramic implants that they have this tight junction.

Right. Yeah, I remember him.

It's not an open anymore. Yes. For you. It looks perfect. He loves it. Gums love zirconia.

Yeah. No, and, and, and, and, and really, I, I have to say that it was not a very painful procedure at all. Maybe because I'd already had the root canal and so there was a, a root in there. But one of the things I noticed was he, he videoed my surgery. And I, I put the videos up online. I wanted people to have as much information as they possibly could on it. And when he took the tooth out, it didn't bleed. And I thought that was a good thing. And he's like, no, wait a second. Terrible thing. Yeah. And there was just, you know, and the gum was very pink and was very pale.

Yeah.

And, and so he began to work it back to where it was really. You know, I got that bright red blood again. And after the ozone and red light and, and you know, Getting that spongy bone, I guess as you call it out. The, the dissolved bone. He actually showed it to me was like tapioca. You know, it was like really just bad bone. Then the gum just had this healthy, you know, blood red to it. And that's, that's when he did the platelet rich fibrin and completed the implant. And I have to say that I won't say it was a pleasant procedure, but I mean it was a painless procedure. And I think a lot of people are putting these off because yes, they think it's just going to be.

It is the problem. Yeah. People still think you're the barber surgeon that just pulls out a tooth. And problematic is that a lot of dentists do that because they just don't know other way around. So in biodentistry it's really important to do as minimal invasive surgeries as possible. So taking out a dead tooth, the main goal is not to hurt your gum and your bone around it.

Right.

To conserve the anatomy and you. So therefore you will never rip out a tooth. You just take it out gently, use it to surgery and it's completely pain free because you don't do any flaps, no cuts. It's not necessary. You just take it out. Obviously it is a little bit. This procedure is. It takes a bit longer because you have to be more precise, be more gentle, wiggle that tooth out a little bit. Just takes longer than ripping it out. But you save bone and tissue. And then what he did, like if you take it out and then it doesn't bleed. This is what I call a dry socket. And this is in, in a root canal case. It's because of chronic inflammation, the wrong enzymes activated. So what he did is using piezo surgery. He used ozone and a lot of things to really get that blood in. Because blood is good. It's liquid healing. It's liquid bone. If the blood is loaded, even better. And then if you can put an immediate ceramic implant, which he did for you.

Yes.

What you do is basically put a tent pole in there and something we call bone container principle. This ceramic implant is kind of like your tooth. That means your brain thinks, oh, there's still something. We don't collapse the, the, the socket versus Usually if you take out a tooth, the dentist will wait for three months. Sometimes it's not possible otherwise. But they wait for three months. And what only happens is that your bone collapses is called alveolar atrophy. It's just like you don't use it, you lose it. Just like you might. It's just gone. But if you can put it straight away, then it keeps the anatomy. And this is the main part about it. It's not too important with your, with your molars that you had only one side. Didn't work this one right. But imagine you have your front tooth, you need to remove it. How cool is it? If I can remove it, replace it and put a temporary on top and no one ever sees it. And we keep the whole anatomy instead of oh, we have to remove it. Then you run around with like a flipper, like the thing that falls out all the time for the next three months or four months. Then we do another cone BBC. Oh, all the bone is gone. We have to rebuild it with a bone graft. Takes another six months. Oh and then we put a titanium in blend which takes another three months. So you can come from one appointment with me or jigger taking out that root canal, put it in the ceramic implant and then the second one will be just the, the crown work.

Right.

Versus six other appointments and one and a half years. So it's really.

Wow.

It's really less invasive and you save so many appointments. And this is what dentists oftentimes forget about that. Some pay, some people work. So they have to take off six, seven times. So this is really expensive.

Right.

So it makes sense to compress this. Therefore our concept is. And to do it in a one week like all the metals safely removed, all the root canals come out. Ceramic implants, cavitation surgery. We use obviously everything from biohacking in the clinic, hyperbaric IVs Etc. You do IVs, we have everything. I have a complete optimal health lounge in the backyard. We have everything for the almost a decade now. You would call it a biohacking center. Maybe it is all there just to make sure that the patient heals perfectly. Versus they're obviously also prepared. So they come in fully boosted already with the right nutrition, the right supplements. And that's the charming part about it. That's why most patients actually fly in from all over the world to see us. Because you can have it in one week and then maybe you come back four to six months later just for your crown work. And then it's kind of like medical travel. You at the same time do something for your overall health. Can use all the facilities and pain free treatments mainly.

What are some of the things that you do to prepare a patient? Like I remember Dr. Gandhi did a high dose of vitamin C IV on me.

So yes. So there's two phases. The first one is like every single patient has to send in the current vitamin D3 blood work and LDL. So I see. Okay. Are they depleted? Because for example vitamin D3 is super important for bone healing and fabulous. And I wanted to see it on the day of surgery. I want to see the vitamin D3 above 60 nanogram which is above the norm. Straight above the norm. And therefore obviously we. I've designed a food design concept that's how I call my nutritional principles. It's just a booklet that they read and they usually just follow my lead in this case and they take the bone healing protocol which is based around 20 000ius of vitamin D3 per day including all cofactors, amino acids supplementation. So I had, I had founded this my company for subs nutrition already before I had my clinic even just to have this kind of procedure. It just naturally came so they come in and then systemically on site is what we do is basically not the preparation. This is more like a boosting around it. So to. To help. But the. The preparation really starts two to four weeks, sometimes even six weeks prior. To make you anabolic. Yeah. It's also very important that you have enough protein in your diet.

And is this peptides. So what, what do you say? Make them more anabolic.

To make them more anabolic is mainly diet. Diet and the micronutrients like we focus always also on methylation like you do. Vitamin D3 is high. Yeah, it's important. It's in the complete bone eating protocol is designed for people that have snips. It's already included. It's designed for people that have cryptopyl uria. So it is all activated vitamins. But it's always nutrition is the motor for me is the foundation.

Right.

I don't want to out supplement a bad diet.

Yeah.

Step one is they have a red chart which is the core four stuff that you should just avoid. Like step one is ditch the crab food, gluten dairy, let's say conventional dairy, refined vegetables and sugar. And then step two is learn how.

To think conventional dairy. Refined sugars and.

Seed oils.

And seed oils. Oh gosh, yeah.

Yeah. And by conventional dairy I just mean the normal one. Like if you have raw A2 dairy is totally different. And but to explain this to most patients is literally impossible. And then step two is just learn how to think in nutrients. So there's a green chart with proteins, healthy fats, carbs and how to design this. And they get one goal is about one gram per pound of Body weight, protein, just to be on the healing side of things.

Right.

Or 2 grams per kilogram. And then when they, like when they come in, then Obviously we do IVs a lot. We also have a. We scan the complete body. We do in body scans. It's kind of like a DEXA, but without the bone density. The medical one seen that one and we have a global diagnostics machine which is scanning your whole body against various frequencies just to see where you at. It will find everything, like every little microbe and thing in your body and tells you what the things are. And then is IVs like Jigger does it high vitamin C, various other nutrients. Before day, before surgery, on day of surgery, after surgery, a couple of days. And hyperbaric. We use a lot too. Basically everything.

Peptides are not allowed the healing process.

So if you look at to hyperbaric in literature when it comes to like surgeries, like it would be rude not to use it if you can because it's so good. Obviously if you claustrophobic it won't work, but right. If you can like you get all that oxygen into your, in your bone and into your tissue and just promote better healing. Less pain, less swelling, better angiogenesis. Like yeah, antibacterial antiviral, like that's the best thing to do.

And what is that?

Like 90 minutes a day like around the surgery. We do 60 minutes.

60 minutes.

60 minutes is usually fine with 1.5 ata. So like that's atmosphere. You can go to 2, 2, 2. But for usually the most, let's say the balance is 1.5, 1.5 ATA and yeah. Then various other things. I'm not allowed to talk about peptides in my clinic, but obviously I would include, include this. So I work with a lot of integrative medical practitioners worldwide. PC157, of course, like the basics even more you could do like probably even what I would probably do if you have that luxury of using peptides. I would maybe also look into the growth hormone peptides. Like the. Yes, let's say the GHRPs and stuff like tessamorelin or ipomorlin, CGC, stuff like this. Because it helps being anabolic and obviously you know that growth hormone is very. Yeah. Healing. So I personally broke my elbow twice in the last couple of years just by skateboarding.

Oh, you broke your both times skateboarding?

Yeah, just bro. But it was like a radius fracture so it split something off. And I went to see, I went to the clinic and then they wanted to do surgery and I was like no, my specialty is bone healing. So I will show you how.

Specialty is bony.

Yeah, I know how to do this. Even though it's not my mouth. I know how to do systemic bone healing. I'll show you with the heat. He told me basically, for three months you have to wear a cast and you cannot do any workouts. Nothing.

Right.

And then you start with 2 kg, like, no way. I will, I'll show you. I'll do it in six weeks. And I was able to, after 10 days, I got rid of that cast. I use everything locally. I use peptides too, whatever.

BBC 157 year old.

Yeah, a lot. Like locally, like even high, really high. And obviously the nutrition, the bone healing protocol. And within four weeks I was back to training. Within six weeks, normal weights.

Wow.

Yeah, it's that. Because it's stupid to not do something even. Like, even with the cast. I was working legs and one side. Because I know from studies if you still train, you still keep your body anabolic, it will, it will go to that arm that you don't use.

Yeah, I, I read an interesting study on that too. They were calling it mirroring or you know, phantom response.

Just systemic as, you know, if you get a good arm growth from just doing squats, for example.

Yes.

Because it's, it's working hormones and everything is working systemically. And this is where the connection for biodentistry comes in. It's just showing you as a part of the body, it's actually the entrance.

And you know, it was interesting. I, I actually had a dislocated shoulder years ago. And I remember the, the orthopedic would have me mirror my arms. Like I would do the same exercise with the healthy side of my body that I was doing with the unhealthy side of my body. And, and what he said is it will, you know, we'll relearn from, from the healthy side. And that's, and that's what I did. And he actually had me putting weights in one arm.

Yeah.

And the arm that was injured, I had no weights, but I would do, I would curl at the same time. And what was amazing was it definitely did atrophy some. Yeah. But not nearly as much as, as I would, I would have thought for being, you know, totally, totally immobile.

Yeah, of course that's the problem. Immobility doesn't make any sense. Therefore, also with an immediate implant, you basically use it straight away, not for biting, but there is a little bit of a tiny movement tension. A little bit. Is there because this Is what the, what activates the bone. Like, you know, as you know, you don't use it, you lose it. Same with the bone. Same with. It's the same principle with all tissues in your body.

I've heard you speak about the importance when, early in life when, when mothers are actually still breastfeeding.

Yes.

And you talk about the importance of breastfeeding in, in infants and how this completes the growth of the jaw, the.

Teeth.

And you know, one of your suggestions, if I remember correctly, was that, you know, women should try to breastfeed for a minimum of 18 months. Yes. And so talk a little bit about that and the natural inoculation of bacteria and what is, what does this mean? How does it relate to this biological.

All the moms out there, if you can breastfeed is amazing. It's the best for your body, for your baby, because you transfer the complete microbiome through breast milk. But also like you already mentioned is sucking on the breast is, needs a lot of strength and it will pull the jaw, the lower jaw forward. It's actually the first orthodontic treatment. And at the same time, if you pull on a suck on a breast, you have to nose breathe, which opens up the palate so it's a complete growth. Yeah. You cannot see a baby with like a clocked nose. It's dramatic. If they want to drink the, the breast, they always dying. So it's really training the whole mid phase to grow. And this is the initial orthodontic treatment. So at least 18 months would be perfect. But ideally you prepare for pregnancy, let's say at least 6 to 6 months to 12 months in advance to get your body clean and healthy. Because there's also studies showing that if you're not healthy, that breast milk becomes something very toxic.

Wow.

And also maybe you think, I would.

Imagine that crosses the blood brain barrier would then cross into breast milk and therefore.

Exactly, exactly. And most of the, the toxins are fat soluble and then they go into the breast milk and then transfer like for example, mercury from you. You could have Never had a mercury filling but your mom had during pregnancy. And you're still mercury toxic because of it.

Wow. Yeah.

It's. That is super simple. It goes through the placenta and then it goes through the breast milk. And you have to. You can offset a little bit. But it's just important to know. So ideally. So my idea of the future of dentistry is actually that we don't need dental repair because in nature our teeth are hot as stone. Hot as granite. We wouldn't have braces like you saw the. You probably read the book from Weston Price Nutrition and physical degeneration. He was a biological dentist interested in nutrition. And we realize all that processed crab foods led to smaller faces. Yeah. Crowded teeth. Gingivitis, gum disease, tooth decay and mouth breathing. Kind of like our teenagers still look like. And he already knew it 100 years ago because 10,000 years ago we even had space for two sets of wisdom teeth. We just had wider.

Wow.

We ate more hard food. Now we're. We're getting soft teeth. We're getting soft. You know.

Yeah.

Like tooth decay is number one chronic disease 90 incidence. And this is completely the number one chronic disease too. Usually is 90% worldwide. Yeah.

Wow.

And it's just man made.

And what about things that people can do to aside from getting their root canals and cavitations fixed? Like talk about daily oral hygiene and like, what is your stance on fluoride? You know, I'm not a big fan of fluoride. Um. But especially in our drinking water. Yes. But hydroxy appetite toothpaste. Yes.

What is your bulletproof oral hygiene is usually. So the conventional dental hygiene theory is actually outdated. We know that lifestyle is way more important. Unfortunately the average person is. Homer Simpson doesn't know about it and eat the crap food. So therefore we still need that band aid of maybe flossing and chemical mouthwash and chemical toothpaste. That's why we're really trained to do so in dentistry. Fluoride is like the number one thing. Right. You have to think about. But calcium fluoride. Yes. Is occurring in your body. But this is sodium fluoride. It's a complete neurotoxin. It's soluble. 100 is completely chemical. And a tooth decay isn't. Is not a chemical deficiency. It's maybe a nutrient deficiency.

Right.

Nutritional imbalances and, and stuff like this. But like initially you maybe need these things. Sometimes maybe you need an antibiotic because you have like such an extreme dysbiosis.

But I didn't mean fluoride treatments. I meant no fluoride.

No, no. But I, I like. The goal obviously should be to have a oral care strategy that is as natural as possible. So I'm team no fluoride obviously. Yeah, I would never use it. I don't even use it for any patient because there are better alternatives that you just mentioned. Hydroxyapetate is the normal stuff that you find in a tooth and it does the same things as fluoride, just in a more safe, healthy way. So why would I use something that is remotely unsafe? Even though obviously you, you should spit out the toothpaste, you will still swallow a little bit, it will still be transferred through the gum into your system and there's a compounding effect. It's obviously only tiny bits per day, but twice a day, 20 years, 30 years, 40 years, 50 years. And you don't know about your kids, if they even eat the toothpaste.

Right.

And same with the fluoridated water. That's, that's just stupid strategy doesn't make sense because we know that there's dental fluorosis, meaning you have these mud like teas which are like yellow spots which come from too much fluoride.

Right.

So we know that, but we still give it and it makes no sense. Why not just focus on minerals, vitamin D3, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin K2, magnesium, zinc, stuff that really builds bones and teeth.

Right. Strong.

And therefore obviously the toothpaste that I would recommend is always something that you would eat, should be a supplement, should be so clean that you can swallow it. And it maybe should promote a good oral microbiome instead of nuking it and supports the body with hydroxy appetite. Use stuff like lactoferrin, really good particles to. Yeah, do something good. And the second thing is usually you use chemical mouthwashes because of bad breath. Go in every aisle in the supermarket. When it comes to conventional oral care, you have the, the usual suspects of fluoride containing toothpaste, maybe teeth whitening toothpaste. And then you have Listerine, that blue stuff.

Shelves and shelves. Look at shelves of it.

Look at the research or not the research, look at the history of it. It is designed to clean a floor or maybe your toilet. This is how you should use it. But they, they somewhat marketed to put into your mouth and everyone still believes it.

Yeah.

And it will give this back, this amazing good breath.

Right.

But the problem is it nukes your microbiome and dysbiotic microbiome will give you bad breath over the, in the long course. Therefore it will actually promote better like Worse breath than what it says. It's just completely nonsense to use this. It's. But you will see that most of my colleagues will prescribe it. It's still it takes a while for them to understand. But there are better solutions. What we would do is just use an ayurvedic strategy called coconut oil pulling or oil pulling.

Oh, I love oil pulling because you.

Know coconut oil is antibacterial ant viral has this lauric acid in it and it just soothes the oral microbiome. It helps the gums, helps the teeth. Why not use it? Even though maybe there is not as much research about it than the the industry sponsored one is just a, it's just a food but why not, right? It would be rude not to use it.

Yeah, I, I, I totally agree with that. And what, where do you stand on a good oral hygiene strategy? What should walk me through a day of a really, really good healthy oral strategy?

Do you just mean the, the br.

Not using mouthwash, using mouthwash. Fluoride toothpaste. Non fluoride toothpaste, using hydroxyapatite. So what would it, I mean for example, I, I floss in the morning, I floss at night. Not aggressively, but yeah, I, I, I floss, I only swish with water and then I use a hydroxyapatite toothpaste that's fluoride free twice a day sometimes in the middle of the day if I bad taste in my mouth or something. But and that's my oral care routine and I do oil pulling two or three days a week just and you have a good time and have a good diet.

That's the main, that's the main factor actually for to promote oral hygiene as you know like eating real food will actually clean your teeth versus eating processed food making that, that fur on your teeth.

Right.

So but if you have nailed this, brushing is still important, right? Just to keep it clean. So yes, what I would do, I start in the morning usually by waking up and using a tongue scraper. Tongue scraping is again ayurvedic. You just use a copper tongue scraper and just simply scrape the ground of your tongue. It comes out of your throat because overnight you will have food debris. You will have bacteria and stuff. If you do that a couple of days you will see that you that your tongue is not coated anymore. It's more like a pinkish one. And it helps with bad against bad breath. So that's just a good strategy. Then what I usually do in the mornings obviously then I hydrate and drink aminos and then go work out.

Same here.

I always work out in the morning, in the a.m. and then as soon as I prepare my breakfast I will do coconut oil pulling at the same time because it takes a little bit of time.

Right.

I just put a teaspoon of coconut oil while I cook my eggs or whatever in the mouth and swish it around for at least five minutes. Yeah, better even 15. So if you have that extra time you anyways doing something, why not?

Right.

So I. The main thing is consistency.

So good when you're, when you're done.

And especially in wintertime when all these viruses coming in and the bacteria, it's just so good for your immune systems and it feels good, it tastes good. I like the coconut taste. If you don't like or torrid, spit it out after.

Right? Yeah.

Not in the, not in the. You should spit in the bin, not in the sink because you can't block up the sink because it gets hot again. So just put it in the bin, spit it out. And then I usually eat and drink and drink a coffee and usually after food you should wait about 30 minutes. 30 minutes for your oral, for your saliva basically to remineralize everything because you might have had some orange juice a little bit acidic or coffee is acidic. So to rebalance. This is just your body by itself by the saliva. Wait, wait 30 minutes and then I would use the toothbrush before I leave the house and brush my teeth for a couple of minutes with a non toxic toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite, maybe xylitol.

Right.

But definitely no chemicals like sls, Triclosan, carrageenan, all the stuff that you find. Sorbitol.

Yeah.

But it's like no one challenges it. Like I think these, these big companies, I could advise them to do the perfect toothpaste and they could probably change the game. But you know how it is, it's a running system. Why change it? Yeah, for them it's like the Colgates and the oral Bs and all these things. They're just in every single supermarket. I go to every single supermarket when I travel and look at the oral health care section. From Africa to America to everywhere, it's always the same. It's just, it's exactly mirror copy and it's not challenged for the last 50 years. But we have to finally because we're growing up and we're changing the message and it's about optimal health and not just about absence of disease.

Yeah. And, and, and we know now, I mean especially Based on your work, that, that the mouth is in extra, you know, it connected to the rest of the, of our body.

Yes, obviously in the microbiome, like you know that we have different microbiomes. The biggest one is usually in the gut.

Right.

But we have a skin biome, we have a, even like a vaginal one. But the oral one is the second largest and the most diversified. So they found up to 700 different species in the mouth.

Wow. And if that gets better, germane only to the oral cavity.

Only to the oral cavity. Obviously you swallow about 140 billion per day, so that translates 50% of your gut microbiome comes from the mouth.

Wow.

So if you had dental repair, obviously you have a dysbiosis. So for example, mercury fillings will lead to candida overgrowth and mold issues and stuff. So you have to sort that ecosystem again to become normal and natural. It's like a baby, the breastfed baby has a complete different oral microbiome and gut microbiome than a formula fed baby or cesarean section baby. So it's completely, it's actually all about the microbiome. And the only thing I say, like, if you focus on your gut health, don't forget the entrance to the gut because it transfers all the time. And this is why it's so intrinsically connected. But for every single normal person not medically trained, it just makes perfect sense. Oh, why? True. It's. The mouth is the start of the tube and it ends at the back door.

Yeah.

So why should this be not connected? It's kind of like the entrance hall to a hotel. Like is this. If you have, if you look into a hotel, you walk into a hotel and the lobby is shit, you know the rest of the hotel, the rest of the hotel is too.

Yeah.

So you can see if the two, if your mouth is already wrong and you have dysbiosis and you have bad breath and you have a lot of dental repair and you have gingivitis. Gum disease. Leaky gum. You know that the rest of the body is not healthy.

Yeah.

You can just see it in one glance.

So if I, if I don't know whether or not I've had a root canal and I don't know whether or not I have anything going on that needs, needs attention. What are some of the, what are some of the signs and symptoms that, that your oral cavity needs attention that people might not be thinking about? I mean, the obvious pain, bleeding obviously is going to drive you to a dentist, but yes, you know, in my case I had things that I did not link back to my oral cavity that I can definitely say were now because they're gone. So what if. If I'm listening to this podcast and I had a root canal, I've had my wisdom teeth pulled. Or. Or I've got metal fillings. You know, how. How would I know that this is having some kind of.

Exactly. Yeah. Just like you just said. Ask yourself these three questions. Metals in my mouth, root canals, wisdom teeth pulled. If any answer is a yes, you might have something called oral interference. Basically, stuff that is distracting or imbalance in your microbiome, your immune system, and your nervous system on a daily basis. That doesn't mean you have any pain locally, but you maybe have a myriad of health issues that you can't seem to solve.

Right.

And therefore you have to find the right practitioner to then know about these things and help you with a solution. Because I'm not here to scare you. It's just. I'm just there to inform. I would never advise you to have, oh, I have a metal filling. Now I go take it out by a regular dentist.

Right.

And they don't do it safely. So it's all about the strategy. Don't freak out. It's just more information for you to know. Oh, root canal could be the thing holding me back. Especially for, for example, for women. I have a lot of women that couldn't get pregnant. I'm always joking.

Yeah.

And that they got pregnant after seeing me.

Right.

They do it like.

I can show you a lot.

I can show you a lot of like, like female patients that send me this. I blame this all on you because I have the cavitations, the root canal removed, and finally I got pregnant. Why is that? That is super simple. If you have chronic inflammation, root canal cavitation, this is triggering your nervous system, your sympathetic nervous system, putting you into stress mode. Your body doesn't want to get pregnant in stress mode. In a chronic war zone, it's not good to get pregnant. You want to have yin. You want to have parasympathetic. So this root canal or cavitation could just be the one single splinter. You need to remove the source to just get your body into parasympathetic. And this is what happens on the chair often that patients, you take out the cavitation and they just start crying because they initially kick that trauma off and the parasympathetic system comes in. And we're about to bring in a new device. It's a lifetime age or a lifetime. Yeah. And like, it measures the HRV in the moment and it will show you if you're resilient and how you flip from sympathetic to parasympathetic. Because I want to show that on data.

Wow.

Because patients feel it obviously all the time. Then they cry, and then you have to tell them, hey, it's a good thing to cry. It's your parasympathetic nervous system. But showing this on paper is even better.

Showing the HRV improving.

Yeah. Making it scientific. Yeah. Or just changing. Like, it doesn't mean that you. Like the HRE is a little bit complex, but it. It's all about resilience. It's about how fast is your body in adapting. Sympathetic to parasympathetic. Can it flip in a second? Because you need your sympathetic system. Yeah, of course. Instantly I want to do a surgery. I have to be in sympathetic focus right after surgery. I shouldn't stay there and have like parasympathetic digestive stuff to. To eat my food or chill in the evening. So this is about balance. And the HIV is also something I'm very, very heavily focusing on with different devices like. Like the aura ring or the ultra human ring or the hoop. I did it all. I tested it all. Because patients have different devices. They are not. This is not the HIV I'm talking about. This is just maybe your nighttime average.

But.

And these devices are often correlating higher HIV to more health. That is not correct.

Wow.

It's not correct at all. Because you have to find your individual hrv. There are different people. So some people have an. Have an average HIV nighttime. If you look on your aura, like let's say the trend for the year is 25.

Right.

Yeah. And. Or I would say is not good. Yeah.

My son's. Mine's in the 40s. My son's is over 100.

Exactly. This is because that's what I just wanted to mention. So, like, you could be a sympathetic person. Being in the low range 20 to 40 is more sympathetic dominant. Then 50 to 80 is more metabol is more like a balanced mesomorphic type. The other one's more ectomorph. And then above could be a true parasympathetic dominant person. But it doesn't mean that he's healthier or she is healthier. Just it's your normal. Because you see, if you get a virus, you will tank probably to 5 or 10, and he will probably only tank to 90 versus I may be tanked to 20.

Right.

Then also for me and also for you. If you go on some, let's say a diet for an extreme period, you want to lean out to 5% body fat. You have to push it a little bit. So what happens is my heart rate will go down to 30 and my heart rate variability will go up to 95 and Aura will give you a hundred score.

Right.

I know my adrenal grands are just, just off and my parasympathetic has to do overshift to compensate for it. So it's not about getting high or low, it's just finding your spot and seeing why are you in a sympathetic or even in a parasympathetic state. So a lot of patients are in toxic parasympathetic state because of leaky gut, for example.

Right.

The parasympathetic has to do overtime, more work instead of being in bell. It's not always sympathetic. Some people turn into parasympathetic problems.

Yeah.

They're getting too late.

Too much.

Yeah. Because that system is trying to help and repair and repair and repair, but it can't. And you need, that's why you need that balance.

It's right.

And this is why when you have like lifetime measurements or real time. That's the word, real time measurements. You can see, is that body resilient? Is it good to. Is it really good to do surgery.

Right now compared to your baseline? Not compared to somebody else's.

Exactly. And this is. Obviously these machines cost more like 5 to €10,000 and are more medically proven. But I still like to track devices. But I. It's. This can also really distract you.

Yeah.

So you have to be, you have to just see it simply as data. Don't get emotional about it. That's why a lot of patients, I just take it away. It's like, don't watch it. You will feel bad just by doing it. Yeah. Oh, no. They wake up good. Pretty good. But then they look at their data and it's like, oh, I had bad night's sleep.

Yeah. My daughter is famous for that. Like, yeah. She wakes up and feels great and then she's like, like, I had the worst night's sleep. I mean, my HRV was here, my heart rate was here, my respiratory rate was here. And then it just gets inside of their head and then they get hyper focus and it becomes a source of stress.

Then it's more stressful than having it. For me, it's just a data. And usually because I'm very fine tuned with my body, I know before the, the ring that I'm Sick, for example, it usually comes a day after it's an aftercast.

Yeah.

So if I'm already on the upward strength it shows lowest point. So always about is always about the patient is about the clinic is about what you see. What you feel is not data first.

Yeah.

Obviously we use blood work and data to improve. But I don't want to treat the data.

Right.

I want to treat the person.

Yeah, exactly. I mean I'm so glad you're saying that. So for somebody who is interested in seeking out a biologic dentist, is there any repository for them, any place that they can go to find someone maybe that's trained under you or, or, or somebody that's trained in biologic dentistry? Because I don't think that anybody that can just remove a metal filling is necessary.

The different levels street so the. You can, everyone can call themselves a biologic dentist. And a lot of biological dentists will do biological root canal treatment. No. So the way I define Biodentistry 3.0 is really being consequent doing the high tech dentistry with all the biomaterials using functional medicine and health optimization. So it's a different breed of dentists. And I finally opened up the, the online certification for it. It's called Biodentistry 3.0 certification. And the tribe I'm building is called the real biodentists, the real bees. The real and those are on the directory because you get in the, in the online version. It's basically my, my teachings of the last 10 years consolidated in a four week program where you just have the software updates so that we can talk perfectly. You have a couple of knowledge gaps. And then level two is when you come in and shadow with me, look into surgeries and then start your own business or you're already a surgeon and you just upgrade a little bit using the IVs now and the food design. So you get certified in the Bio Dentistry Level 1 food design concept and bone healing protocol. And therefore I have a directory because I had to build it. There's so many because of my work probably and doing it for such a long time, it becomes a little, little bit of a trend. And as you know, marketing is more important than what you really can do unfortunately. And it's bad for patients. So I want to recommend, I don't see it necessary that every single one comes flying into Germany when there could be someone in LA or someone in New York or doing the same thing. But I have to make sure that I can recommend them because they, they are solid. They know what they're doing. So that's why I finally made it. And I'm very happy because I. There was times when I thought, just forget about it. But there were so many questions, so many dentists asking for it. So I thought, okay, right, it's international, it's in English and a global training. And the first one that actually flew in was from Australia. There's one Australian bio real B now really Australian? Yeah. In Adelaide. And it's crazy. And the whole Australia has only five dentists that, for example, do a ceramic implant and only one being in complete Australia. It's insane.

Wow.

And jigger flies in next week. I think I meet him on Monday in a week.

So he does.

He comes in to see me and see the clinic.

I love that.

But he's already an amazing surgeon, so for him it's super simple. Because it's. The difficult part is not the dental work, because this is something. If you're good with your hands, you can basically learn that by just looking at it and just using different materials. The difficult part is understanding the body, understanding the physiology, understanding the nutrition, the supplements, the intricacies of functional medicine. This is the next level. This is why I call it the dental evolution. It's not contrary to conventional dentistry. It's just next level.

Right? It's just next level. So. So where can they go? How can they find you? How can they find out more about your.

So about me? You can. Basically, the easiest is Instagram. Is Dr. Dom1.

That's Dr. D O M1 D O M E1E.

In Germany, my name is Dome. Dome is the abbreviation of Dominic in Germany. That was my nickname as a kid. So Dr. Dome in German, but in English it's Dr. Dom Dumb.

Yeah.

Because I don't know. I don't.

You don't want to be dummy in English. You want to be dumb.

And also not Dome. Yeah. It's like doom, right? It's funny. Like we had Dr. Dome and we wrote it D R D O M E. And then someone was saying, I don't know what you're saying. Please do. Please do me, Dr. Dreamy.

I'm like, saw that.

Yeah. I knew that you wouldn't. Yeah.

Don't do me dumb. Yeah.

And I was like, none of them works. Okay. I shouldn't do that. It doesn't work. Yeah. So they're very creative. So find me there then. There is a directory, obviously, for that biodentistry. It's the Institute of Biological Dentistries, where you find a.

The Institute of Biological Dentistry. Because we're going to put that in the show notes.

Yeah. That's where you have the course for the dentist. And then the directory to Dr. Dummy Official. There's a Dr. Dummy Official webpage. And then for the intro level, like some people just have metals to remove. There is the IAOMT in. In the US and abdm. So they train dentists to become Smart certified. S M A R T. Certified means safe mercury amalgam removal technique. So they know at least how to remove Smart Certified. Yeah, you could look them up. They will know at least how to remove mercury and metals safely, because that's super important. They might not know about the root canals. They might not know about ceramic implants.

Right.

That's for the real bees.

But vapor, all those.

But at least they know how to do this. Because you don't want to go to your dentist this and just drill out there's fillings. Because then obviously the mercury vapor and the stuff that you swallow is way worse than just having it.

Right.

You have to find a solid strategy first to find the real one.

Amen. And then finally, I. I wind down every podcast by asking all my guests the same question. And it is, what does it mean to you to be an ultimate human?

For me, it means that I feel like a kid. I just. I just wake up in the morning. I have no problems. I have tons of energy. Switch on, switch off at night. I can sleep well. My mental health is perfect. I have time to train. I have time with my family. I have time on the mission. I have time with surgeries like just be in flow state. That's being ultra human for me. And this is actually how we're designed to be. Right?

Yes.

Just being. That's. That's the other human. Just be yourself. And this is difficult because you. Obviously, I'm trained to do the opposite.

Right.

Just to do it, do, do, do all the time.

Right.

And I. I had my own health issues very early. That's why I'm on that path.

Wow.

I know how it feels if you're really, really in bad shape.

Yes.

And I had lots of mental health issues in my early 20s as a teenager becoming a skateboard. I wanted to become a skateboard professional. So I was drinking for probably five days a week from 14 to 21 years old.

Wow.

And I just had fun, but then flipped and then I had to dig myself out of it. So I know how it feels if you're on that level of suicide and all these things. But I also know how you feel if you, if you get it, if you're in a flow state, and then obviously if you. Took me a while to figure out how to get my new transmitters back into place, but if I. When I learned it, I was like, oh, wow, this is what I need to do. I want to help patients. I want to really help them heal. And now this is just my journey. Just empower as many as possible to. To be ultra human. To be like superhuman.

Yeah.

Or Health Avenger. That's what I always call us, like, like, you know, Marvel.

Yes.

And I always refer to as the Health Avengers because I want us to be inspiring people. Just like an athlete or professional or a star, whatever. We can also inspire a lot of people just by being it. And therefore the Health Avengers, they live by example. I'm Thor, by the way.

Right.

They would be the hell.

You're number four.

No, I'm the Thor. Oh, Thor the Viking.

Yeah.

That's awesome. Yeah. And then Tim maybe is the. He could be the Iron man, definitely. Because the gadget guy.

That's great.

And. Yeah. You know what I mean? So this is. And I think this is how we can. If we practice what we preach and live by example, I think this is how we can help many and inspire and always say patients that make it to my chair, they are part of the mission because they will heal themselves like yourself. And then you have that intrinsic motivation, that moral obligation to share.

Yes.

How can you hold it back?

Yeah. Like I do now. I mean, I feel like a moral. And I don't have any deal with Dr. Gandhi or with you or with anyone else. I just feel like this needs to be platformed to be got out there because, you know, and so many people are on these health journeys and there's that one thing that they just can't figure out.

Exactly.

You know, I've always said, you know, the body does not behave irrationally. It behaves very rationally. And sometimes we just need to figure out why it's behaving that way. And this is another key to that puzzle of, of potentially chronic disease and, and other things that people are suffering from that they. They just don't know how to solve.

Especially for really chronic disease. Sick, chronic people. This is how I started like 10 years ago.

Yeah.

Mainly my main patients were super sick patients like Alzheimer's, Parkinson cancer, end stage als and all these things not to not too nice. They just basically needed this to start their health.

Right.

But now it upgraded to more people that are just already quite healthy, but they just want to have the next level.

Yes.

And for example, like yourself, you didn't connect your body symptoms to your mouth, but then you had that surgery done and it's gone. For example, my brother, he is very healthy too, and he does everything. And he said, okay, I have cavitations on the cone beam. Let's just do it. And then he told me like a week later, okay, I can now tell you what happened. I just need one hour less sleep. Like, one hour. And it's like, oh, that's a lot. Like, because the body needed this hour more deep sleep or whatever to compensate for it.

Yeah.

And this is how impactful it is, and therefore, it's my sole mission to.

Spread the word, so. Incredible. Well, it really comes through and I think my audience felt it today and they know where to find you now. So I really appreciate you coming on today, giving us some of your time, your inspiration, and for teaching people like Dr. Gandhi that are going out and helping to change the world. My audience knows where to. Where to find you and knows knows about your website. So you're probably going to see some activity there now.

Thanks.

And as always, guys, that's just science.
