Dr. Michelle Jorgensen: Your Teeth Are Making You Sick - The Mouth-Body Connection to Chronic Disease
Manage episode 483130576 series 3479155
What if the root cause of your chronic health issues has been hiding in plain sight—right inside your mouth? Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, a functional integrative dentist and board-certified naturopath, makes the stunning claim that 60-80% of chronic illness can be traced back to oral health problems. This conversation could literally save your life.
Dr. Jorgensen's journey began when she became critically ill from mercury exposure while performing routine dental procedures. After conventional medicine failed her, she discovered the toxic effects of standard dental practices—not just on patients, but on practitioners themselves. This awakening led her to question everything she'd been taught, revealing disturbing connections between common dental work and systemic disease.
The revelations in this episode are both shocking and empowering. Learn how mercury fillings continuously release toxic vapor and undergo temperature-based expansion that cracks teeth. Discover why root canals—which leave miles of microscopic tubules filled with dead tissue—create chronic infection sites linked to conditions from heart disease to cancer. Understand how extraction sites become inflammatory hotspots and how smaller modern mouths lead to sleep-disrupting airway issues that deprive your body of oxygen.
Perhaps most disturbing is how these problems often go undetected because they're dismissed by conventional dentistry. Dr. Jorgensen shares remarkable stories of patients whose persistent health conditions—from thyroid disorders to debilitating eczema—resolved dramatically after addressing hidden dental infections that numerous specialists had overlooked.
Beyond identifying problems, Dr. Jorgensen offers practical solutions: from safe mercury removal protocols to alternatives for root canals, and why hydroxyapatite proves more effective than fluoride without the systemic side effects. She even reveals her personal oral care routine (including why she doesn't floss!).
If you've struggled with unexplained health issues or wonder why certain conditions persist despite your best efforts, this conversation could be the missing piece.
