13. Part 2- Dr. Rebecca Taylor: How Oral Health Impacts Your Entire Body

I'm so excited to share this two part series with you on Holistic Dentistry! I had the pleasure of having my dentist on the podcast, Dr. Rebecca Taylor.  She is the queen of holistic and biological dentistry and is sharing so many nuggets in these episodes.  We split the episode into two chunks so you could really digest all she has to share. I'v personally experienced such great results from her practice and can't wait for you up level your oral health with her knowledge as well. Dr. Taylor is the lead dentist at O2Dontics and the owner of Green City Dental, conducting airway, TMJ, and sleep screenings along with comprehensive diagnostic exams that consider whole-body health holistically. Her goal is to treat people, function, and root causes – not just teeth or symptoms. With a background in molecular biology and dentistry from UC Santa Barbara and the University of the Pacific, Dr. Taylor is accredited in safe mercury removal, board-certified in naturopathy and integrative biologic dental medicine, and certified in ozone, myofunctional, and functional orthodontic therapies. This comprehensive training allows collaborative, individualized treatment plans focused on total mouth and body health. She has developed a passion for treating crowded teeth and sleep apnea/airway issues, becoming a top provider of Myobrace and DNA/Vivos systems on the West Coast. Drawing from biological dentistry, functional medicine, cranial-sacral therapy, and orthodontics, she utilizes an interdisciplinary protocol for jaw development and sleep apnea. In this episode She's sharing: 1. What people need to know about mercury fillings and proper removal? 2. All about orthodontics- are braces really the best option, and is there more that we should be looking at than just crowded teeth? 3. Why we should be using hydroxyapatite in our toothpaste and are there risks involved with using it? 4. We also dive into waterflossing, and why she is a fan. I also asked her some Rapid Fire questions that include : Her Thoughts on oil pulling- and if it actually works? Her Thoughts on mouth taping? Are electric toothbrushes better than manual ones? What her perfect natural oral care routine would look like What's the best way to whiten your teeth naturally? If you've been looking for a holistic dentist, look no further than Green City Dental.  I can't recommend them enough.  Dr. Rebecca also does virtual consults as well if you don't live close.
