Physicians rarely ask about the health of your mouth, yet the same blood that goes through any dental infection like gum disease, picks up bacteria and transfers them throughout the entire body, from the heart to the brain. It's time to connect the dots between the mouth and the rest of the body and include the mouth when evaluating a persons illness. Many times the source of the disease is literally right under your nose!
Who woulda thought but well dentists can be so expensive
But ya u made sense now what hmm
Amen!! I am going through this right now. For 3 years now. Well, longer really more like 15 years. Everything only got 100x worse after I got Covid April 2021. Jan 2024 and I’m still suffering from debilitating symptoms. I kept telling my husband over these past few years, I just want to get to the root cause. Well, the root cause just so happened to be my root canals! Crazy how it seems eventually we start to figure things out. I had to figure all this out on my own. No Dr has helped me over the past 3 years, and I’ve seen plenty!
Medical and Dental do need to get it together. They really should be together, as one can’t function without the other!
Dentistry is not expensive...neglect is.😊
I have schizophrenia and flossing helped me immensely with mental pain. And I must brush my teeth after evey meal and before eating breakfast in order to maintain normalcy.
So if dental health is so important to one’s overall health, why isn’t it part of medical insurance? Dental insurance is not offered by many employers & the CHIP program is only if you have neither… makes no sense!
So true!!
Because western medicine has no intentions of helping one heal. Its purpose is for none other then keeping profits high and that requires keeping people sick.
Think of how much money health systems make if they DON’T address oral health. They need diseases to treat them. No disease, no money 😕
True and here in the Netherlands where I live thinks like homeopathy and so on is standard in the basic healthcare packet but not dentist
It really is a shame! They are keeping us sick on purpose. I’ve had weird sinus congestion symptoms for years before I got Covid in April 2021. It’s now Jan 2024 and I’m still suffering with “Long Covid”. I have debilitating fatigue some days, others I feel really good. Mostly it’s my respiratory tho. My husband and I used to hike. I can barely get up a flight of stairs now. I’m only 42! 😔😭
I haven’t been able to work for over two years now. I just applied for SSDI reluctantly because I was really hoping to go back to work. This has really ruined my life. Thank God for my sweet husband who has helped me through this and is standing beside me in all my endeavors to get better.
I have just discovered this information about the oral health link 2 months ago! I wish I knew all of this information years ago! I swear they are killing us on purpose!
I found a Biological Dentist who has already pulled one root canal tooth and taken out a mercury filling. I have two more root canals to be pulled that are pushed up into my sinuses. No wonder I have for 15 years suffered from nasal/congesion issues and allergies! There’s been an infection in there for years. They will need to put me under to extract the two teeth and clean out my sinuses. I am hoping to start feeling a little better after all this.
This is so informative. I knew a long time ago you could not brush or floss efficiently in just 2 to 3 mins. I'm very diligent when it comes to my oral health. The whole process takes me at least 15 mins a day. Time stamp: 8:45
I have been suffering for headache and shoulder pains for a long time. I tried going to different docs and even physical therapist. When I went to my dentist she told me have temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) concern. I had to wear dental splint and bracket for more than a year + sessions with my dentist for therapy. It was clearly a dental concern.
@Symbat Sabit _ Through TMJ management: regular therapy with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulations (TENS) application, use of dental splint during the day, biting a mouth guard during sleep, and regular neck and shoulder exercises.
I am feeling better now. Headaches have diminished both in frequency and intensity.
@Symbat Sabit _I had to wear brackets for a period of time to correct my bite. After the bracket, I shifted to splint and mouth guard every night. Everything was taxing at first but I got used after some time. Dental therapy is the hardest because it was painful. EVERY SINGLE SESSION. Hehehe.
Thank you 🙏🏼
An Osteopath would help a lot, they also check our mouth.
What a great talk! ❤️ This just shows that dental health is a wealth!! very thankful to kriss ai for answering all my questions about my dental health, a life changer for me ❤️🥰
hiya! I loved this vid too. I'm curious about "Kriss" u mentioned. mind sharing how it's been helping with your dental health?
@@stormyay I've been hearing that "KRISS" too I wonder what's that can you also tell me more?
hello, can you tell me what kriss can do?
i think she's referring to KRISS AI it's a chatbot that can help you with your dental questions
@@TitusMonger
Hey!I also kriss ai to solve all my queries related to dentistry.
We know it matters Does not change the fact the prices are so dam high making extremely difficult to afford...
Prevention is key.
what an eye opener! thank you so much Dr Charles!
I did enjoy my childhood eating all what I could and not visiting the dentist, one factor is that I was not aware and so is my family. Now, I could barely even imagine how does it feels like to have a good dental health and yet a good mental health. Suffering from dental discomforts everyday, the only time I could rest if I am asleep or I am distracted. What is holding me back to let this be over, not letting me work normally and pressure by expense.
Everyone should see this video
My girlfriend had for a while empty patches on her head where her hair didnt grown and no doctors could tell what was the issue! She went hair clinic spend so money on shampoo and stuff. ! And later she finde out that she had tooth issues and as sun as she fixed that tooth her hair started growing again.
What was the issue i link with this too is that with bleeding gums or braces etc
Wow that's interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t doubt it! All of our teeth sit on a Meridian line in our body. So whatever organ that tooth connects to will be where the problem is. Crazy how Dr’s don’t know how the puzzle pieces fit!
So true and so important!
love it . thank you for sharing
Excellent lecture. VERY thought-provoking.
Excellent Doctor 🏆. Thank you again 🌟🥇.
I just got my wisdom teeth removed and a few other rotten ones! I’m literally laying in my bed wondering why my gut isn’t hurting anymore and why I’m not feeling sick if I don’t drink water every hour! I literally felt healthier after they pulled them out
Thank you
Ohhhhh, so that's why the old timers always carefully inspected the teeth of horses before they bought them.
Thank you!!!!
I am a South African in Sweden for 5 years and I have dentures for almost 8 years. I am not comfortable with them and I am resorting to dental implants for the whole mouth. I have taken a decision to promote mouth and teeth hygien campaign for the less privileged because I know how it is not to have access to tooth brush and tooth paste as a child. I have been there myself and not everyone will have an opportunity to dental implants in future they are not cheap at all.
Its great to know that you want to contribute to Dentistry. All the best- Dr. Dhinesh, Implant dentist, India.
How is it going with your campaign? I think it's great what you want to do. Sometimes it's our pain to use to make a difference. Unfortunately, dentists are mostly not into prevention. It's upsetting if you think about it.
@@newtonmoonjust like it’s not the job of a heart surgeon to prevent heart disease, it’s not a dentist’s role to prevent oral disease. That is the role of a dental hygienist. Good healthcare systems employ RDHs to educate their patients and providers on oral-systemic health and refer those who need treatment to a good oral-systemically minded dental office. Dentists are specialists who treat disease. RDHs are the primary care provider of oral-systemic disease. They are educated and licensed. They save lives every day!
Thank you 😊.
This is great to hear...
And why are we not suing all the doctors that have ignored the role of dental health when diagnosing/treating patients??? So frustrating! My mother has horrible dental health and has been on blood pressure meds for half her life and is now diabetic. It’s infuriating.
Most dentist are not there to prevent and educate unfortunately but to treat. From childhood until old age. From natural tooth to third teeth this is how the money is made... And in the general medicine, there is no holistic view. Each treats their own area that's my understanding. So suing as you suggest may be useless as this is how the system is set up.
Dental hygienists are the solution. They educate to prevent both oral and systemic diseases, which we now know are not separate so we call them “oral-systemic diseases.” Good healthcare systems employ dental hygienists to help patients prevent problems through education, oral hygiene instruction, and referrals to good dentists who are oral-systemic minded. The world is changing!
Good info!!
Great talk !
Thanks alot Doctor for this valuable information 😊👍🏻
I really glad i found this video. Since i was a child 😢 overall of my body suffered from varies health condition the reason why i was often went to the doctors and wonders why they didn't ask me if i take caring my dental health now I'm able to thing that i in myself notice how my dental had contributed in my entire body like having social avoidance constantly due to the constant pain I've experiencing that caused by my poor dental health and so many other adversity to blame in my dental 😢😢 why was my guardian just didn't managed to teach to me the importance of dental health in the long run at my formal stage😢😢 now it's my biggest insecurity that striking me awfuly 😢😢 it's gonna beta to die I'm hopeless😢😢 at this moment (don't worry about me)
Great presentation!
great content thanks
Very great information. I have never heard this before.
Me neither Clair learn something new everyday. This is something many individuals neglect oral hygiene. Self care is so important.
Great Dr 🙏
Brilliant!
Babies born in areas of nuclear energy testing and proliferation present with significant primary tooth erosion, and infection that require surgical removal. These same children often develop other debilitating diseases before adulthood. Dental disease is the leading childhood disease in the US.
Good job!
This is very informative, and i like how you explain about how the diseases are related with gum. My question is why the pain from the dental abscess caused by oral virus did not show pain and how it can spread to other parts of the body? Can it even spread to brain?
This guy is VERY good at public speaking, he must speak a lot. One of the few public speakers that say funny things during their speech...and it actually be funny! Sounds like a HUGE amount of experience and wisdom behind that voice too...sure wish he were a dentist in Central Kentucky, I'd be at his office!
By the way, a great TED Talk! …but I kept hoping he might mention something about how it should be available to everyone!!
Cause it won't
Brushing and flossing is easy and available to everyone. If you're talking about dental care, dream on, we can't even get medical care available for everyone, they sure won't include dental even though it's just as important.
Plus Reduce carbs & sugar. Rince your mouth out after each meal.
Or chew xylitol gum! Works like a charm. Rinsing is just as great though.
Don’t reduce carbs. Refuse SIMPLE carbs…complex carbs are vital to good health
I’m going to brush my teeth right after watching this 😬
I am curious to know if you we’re full dentures is the concern the same?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 the mouth is part of our body, take care of it ☯️💟
Amen!!!
Tooth and gum infections can also cause thrombocytopenia
It's difficult to find a dentist that does preventative practice. My dental sealing were never suggested to be replaced and never was I told at regular check ups that there could be an issue. Until the tooth broke and the dentist made it 'crown' ready as there was so much caries. How can this be if I go for regular check ups.
Don't forget MOLD in the home. Many autoimmune conditions stem from bad air qaulity/mold in the home or work enviroment
👍
"preventible" is only so idf you have money. teeth in this country is a luxury a lot of us on fixed incomes or low incomes have no money for dental care because its just insane the pricing,insurance often doesn't cover it and just an exsame can run 250$ a signal tooth extraction anywhere from 350 to 650 so do not preach that is is simple preventive care when only those Americans with money can afford it
A lot of what he is talking about can be done with a toothbrush and by cutting sugar intake though.
How about the part where only the rich can afford dental?!!💯 🤔…and your dental health is directly connected to the health of the rest of your body🤔… so the fact that poor people literally have no option for dental work!
Too late
Amen people! Get your teeth cleaned!
"Dental health doesnt matter" - said literally no one ever
Yet Medicare doesn't cover dental care.....
He is exactly correct as physicians commonly overlook the mouth as to both mental and physical health. I’m going to explain why below.
The funniest thing is leading head researcher of dentistry back in the 1920’s & 1930’s was Weston A Price and studying 14 different countries recognized the differences immediately with isolated primitive people eating foraged,fished,hunted,trapped foods or by healthy organic farming practices compared to modernized people subsisting on modern foods like refined white flour & white sugar products,canned goods,jellies and jams. In studying these isolated people they never once brushed or flossed their teeth!! Dental arches were perfect and were free of disease or facial deformity. They had pearl white teeth without EVER flossing or brushing? Why ? Read Mark Breiner’s book: Whole Body Dentistry and when you are stress free and eating your native traditional diet osmosis or fluid flow starts from inside and around the jawbone and flows through the ligaments into the roots of the dentin tubules of the teeth. This fluid flow eventually comes out by starting from inside the central part of every tooth outwards . So in essence from inside the dentin tubules and comes out of the teeth. You need proper hydration also for it to be more effective. So in stark contrast when you eat poorly reverse osmosis occurs whereby fluid flow is backwards by constantly trying to go from the outside of the tooth inward. So STRESS and POOR DIET cause this. Read his book: Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.
What he is talking about Price wrote in his study regarding Focal Point Infection so a infected tooth goes to organs , tissues,bones disrupting health. He was experimenting with like rabbits and would put infected teeth of humans and implanted in the rabbit to which the rabbit would get a similar health ailment or affliction as the human.
Price’s written work:
1) Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
2) Dental Infections Oral & Systemic
Dental Infections and the Degenerative Diseases
Both are two volumes
Pioneers of this work are:
1) Weston A Price
2) Edward C Rosenhow
3) Charles Mayo
4) Martin H Fisher
Who could possibly think that dental health isn't important?
Use warm warm water as mouthwash. Some mouth wash has suga in it.
So much more to healthy teeth than just brushing/flossing.
Oral microbiome + saliva ph, managing stress, don't become a mouth breather, eliminate sugar/oral candidiasis, do not over-use mouthwashes, night grinding-tmj joint issues, underlying gut and absorbtion issues leading to mineral and vitamin imbalance, eliminate toothpastes with toxic chemicals, remove mercury fillings, avoid root canals

should not have listened to this while eating my morning snack :/
7:35 Excuse me, but what was so funny for this person?
I believe, both professions collude to allow encourage each other to get rich. Too much drive to make money hinders the honesty in both professionals - Doctors. Dentists.
Some Dentists are not honest. They do not tell you that "Vital" gut bacteria is affected by drugs given for combating bacteria in abscess infections.
Doctors in a different manner dealing with the drugs prescribed do not tell you or counsel you that polishing or sharpening your pencil with understanding nutrition is the best way to go. Prevention. Prevention. Prevention. Before ailments manifest themselves.
Does either Professional do this? Very rarely. But the list is growing with many who are catching on to the understanding of Nutrition directly affects the body
.
Physicians rarely ask about the health of your mouth, yet the same blood that goes through any dental infection like gum disease, picks up bacteria and transfers them throughout the entire body, from the heart to the brain.
The next time you go to either doctor or dentist take the challenge and ASK THIS QUESTION?
What can I eat or do nutritionally to alter my state of ailment or disease or dental problem?
Your answer will be their reply?
HINT: you need to ACT on what you do not hear that is of honest - integrity and honourable answer.
I am a Dentist who has taken several additional courses about healthcare. Some Dentists do not know this information. Many of my patiens tell me that they learned more about their meds from me than from their Primary care physician who prescribed them. It is not about "dishonesty". Sometimes we have to give someone antibiotics regardless about damaging gut bacteria, so you take probiotics as well. Educate yourself to help not just criticize.
@@lesliechristian1941 the lack of needed regulations and data collection in dentistry allows many, many dentists to focus on their profit margin above all else and the whole profession NEEDS to be criticized. How dare you lecture someone for stating their (incredibly common) point of view when you should be listening not scolding. Despicable.
Sorry your eyes and teeth aren't covered.😢😢
Why would the dentist honestly tell you how to keep your teeth healthy? That's absolutely not in their interest .
Yes unfortunately, my recent experience as well.
