Are your teeth starting to give you problems? Maybe they're clicking, chipping, hurting, or suddenly extra sensitive. Or maybe you've heard online that you should never use fluoride or get a root canal, but your dentist says the opposite, and now you're totally confused.

Today I'm talking with Dr. Toni Engram, a biological dentist who helps us separate fact from fear when it comes to oral health. We dive into what biological dentistry really is, how it differs from conventional dentistry, and how your mouth can tell you everything about your overall health.

We cover:

• What a biological dentist actually does (and why it matters)

• How your oral microbiome connects to your gut, hormones, and longevity

• What happens to your teeth, gums, and jaw during menopause

• How to care for receding gums and a clicking jaw

• The controversy around fluoride, root canals, and crowns

• The safer, more preventive approach to oral health

Dr. Toni Engram is a biological dentist, integrative health coach, and owner of Flourish Dental Boutique in Richardson, Texas. After facing her own autoimmune health challenges, she shifted her practice philosophy toward whole-body prevention and safer, more holistic dental treatments.

She holds degrees from Texas Christian University and Baylor College of Dentistry, and is a proud member of IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology) and IABDM (International Academy for Biological Dentistry and Medicine). She's also SMART-certified in safe amalgam removal and serves as a TBI Ambassador through The Breathe Institute.
