RHR: How Dentofacial Orthopedics Can Benefit Your Overall Health, with Dr. Paul Peterson, DDS

The structure of our jaw and our dental palate affects everything from how we breathe to how we sleep, which in turn affects our health and how we feel every day. Paul Peterson, DDS, joins Chris in this episode of Revolution Health Radio to discuss how he has implemented a functional medical model for dentistry in order to identify the foundational sources of the issues he sees in his patients. In this episode, we discuss: How evolutionary changes in the way our faces grow and develop, combined with a declining percentage of humans' nasal breathing, is causing a host of problems not being adequately diagnosed or addressed by the medical community Why it takes a multidisciplinary understanding to fix these problems The challenges presented by a lack of training in the dental community on treating joint disorders How the jaw plays a role in causing sleep apnea and why resolving jaw alignment issues can help Treatment options including NightLase therapy, mandibular advancement devices, and sphenopalatine nerve blocks Show notes: Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry website Breath by James Nestor Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy The Breathe Institute Learn more about the Adapt Naturals Core Plus bundle or take our quiz to see which individual products best suit your needs If you'd like to ask a question for Chris to answer in a future episode, submit it here Follow Chris on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook This episode of Revolution Health Radio is sponsored by LMNT.
