Bad Breath Doesn’t Always Begin in the Mouth
Posted on Wednesday, May 6th, 2020
Once again, 90 Day Fiance has come through with some more dental cringe, this time courtesy of “Big Ed”: While Ed’s motivation for the “gift” is suspect, you can’t totally blame him for thinking that bad breath comes only from poor oral hygiene.

Originally posted December 12, 2018 By Gary M. Verigin, DDS, CTN You might be surprised to realize just how many health problems wind up labeled as idiopathic – that is, of unknown cause.

KTH Flashback: Some Basic Principles of Biological Regulation
Posted on Wednesday, February 12th, 2020
Biological dentistry developed out of biological medicine. Unlike conventional medicine, which relies largely on drugs and surgeries that may give the appearance of health, biological medicine focuses on restoring the body’s innate ability to self-regulate to facilitate healing.

Is a Root Canal with Ozone Any Better?
Posted on Wednesday, January 15th, 2020
One reason why root canal treatment is such a challenge is that it’s not just the root canals themselves that must be cleaned out and disinfected. There are also the miles of microscopic tubules that form dentin, the tooth’s middle layer of tissue – a perfect harbor for bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens. That’s a […]

Posted on Wednesday, July 17th, 2019
If you’ve followed our blog for a while, you may recall the race to make the fastest toothbrush ever. (If you don’t, here’s a recap). Now there seems to be a similar “speed stakes” going on in the wonderful world of dental implants, too. No sooner had we published last week’s post on the number […]
More Than 2 Million Dental Implant Injuries
Posted on Wednesday, July 10th, 2019
The hype about dental implants is nothing new to this blog, nor is what the hype covers up. What is new is that the FDA has finally published it’s once-hidden database on injuries caused by medical devices, which underscores just how much these prosthetics have been oversold. All told, the new report documents 5.7 million […]
