EP 48: Biological Dentistry and the Nervous System: How Fear Impacts Healing and Whole Body Health

Fear blocks healing, and the dental chair makes it obvious. We sit down with Dr. DeSanti, a biological dentist in Arizona, to explore how a calm nervous system improves outcomes—from extractions and root canals to daily care. He shares a slower, relationship-focused approach that listens first and treats second.Learn how biological dentistry works in plain terms: CBCT 3D imaging for hidden infections and airway issues, oral microbiome testing for targeted care, and bone readings that reveal unhealed sites. Discover when a ceramic implant, ozone therapy, or careful root canal evaluation matters, and why immune resilience drives better decisions than X-rays alone.We cover tools to shift fight-or-flight into rest-and-repair: guided breathwork, weighted blankets, soothing sounds, essential oils, and faith or gratitude practices. Parents will also hear how birth trauma, tongue ties, and airway health influence kids’ behavior and development.If dental visits feel stressful, rushed, or dismissive, this conversation gives an evidence-informed, patient-centered path to safer, calmer care. Share with someone who dreads the dentist, subscribe, and leave a review with the one change you’ll try at your next visit.✨ About the Host & Ways to Work TogetherMelissa-Sue Methven hosts Not Alone with Melissa-Sue Methven, and is an author, speaker, and breathwork facilitator guiding emotional, nervous-system, and spiritual healing.
