When Your Mouth Is Making You Sick: Biological Dentistry, Root Canals, and Hidden Infections with Dr. Scott Chandler
Manage episode 518957993 series 3620192
This is StRest. In this episode, Kerstin Lindquist sits down with leading biological dentist Dr. Scott Chandler of Dentistry4Health in Park City, Utah, to confront a hard but critical question: could the work in your mouth be the missing link behind your chronic health issues?
Dr. Chandler explains why mercury fillings, root canals, jawbone cavitations, metal crowns, titanium implants, and airway problems are not just “dental” concerns, but potential drivers of brain fog, fatigue, recurring Lyme symptoms, cardiovascular changes, thyroid disruption, breast health concerns, and more. He walks through what actually happens with mercury amalgam, why most root canals harbor aggressive bacteria, how unhealed extraction sites can act like septic tanks in your jaw, and why metal in the mouth may interfere with energetic pathways that support key organs.
Kerstin presses into the practical side: how to know if your fillings are mercury-based, what safe removal should look like (and why doing it wrong can make you worse), why so many wisdom tooth extractions are setting patients up for long-term problems, and how cone beam imaging exposes infections and airway issues that standard exams miss. For families, they cover safer materials for fillings and crowns, what to ask before your teen’s wisdom tooth surgery, and options for airway and sleep apnea care that do not start and end with a CPAP.
If you have done “all the things”—detoxes, protocols, supplements, specialists—and still feel unwell, this episode gives you a direct, unvarnished framework: investigate your mouth, demand proper imaging, vet your dentist, and understand why ignoring oral infections and metals can quietly sabotage your healing.
