About this episode

This episode explores the connection between oral health and systemic wellness with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, highlighting the impact of dental practices on overall health.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, a holistic dentist and founder of Living Well with Dr. Michelle, to explore the powerful connection between oral health and systemic wellness. Through her own personal experience with mercury toxicity from dental fillings, Dr. Jorgensen shares how that journey transformed her approach to dentistry and led her toward a more integrative, physiology-based model of care. We discuss how chronic oral inflammation may contribute to broader health issues, including cardiovascular disease, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic inflammation throughout the body. We also dive into topics such as mercury amalgams, fluoride, root canals, dental meridians, and the growing understanding of how the mouth can influence the rest of the body.

If you want to better understand the mouth-body connection and how oral health impacts long-term wellness, this episode will completely change the way you think about dentistry. Key…
