Stop Brushing Your Pet's Teeth? Microbiologist Reveals What Actually Works | Dr. Emily Stein

from Paws, Reflect & Heal with Dr. Randy · host Dr. Randy Pet Vet

In this episode, Dr. Randy Aronson welcomes microbiologist Dr. Emily Stein to discuss the critical link between the oral microbiome and overall pet health. Many pet parents are unaware that dental disease is a primary driver of chronic inflammation, affecting everything from the immune system to kidney function in dogs and cats. We explore why traditional brushing often fails and how "oral dysbiosis" can lead to serious systemic issues like heart disease and strokes.  Dr. Stein shares her journey from "biohacking" her grandmother’s health to developing microbiome modulatory technology for animals. They discuss the "One Health" concept, the hidden dangers of common household remedies like apple cider vinegar on tooth enamel, and the benefits of a "keto diet" for oral bacteria. You’ll learn about PROtektin (TEEF), a revolutionary water additive that feeds beneficial microbes to crowd out harmful, inflammation-causing bacteria. Whether you're dealing with a senior dog with calculus buildup or a cat with severe stomatitis, this conversation offers a roadmap for avoiding whole-mouth extractions and maintaining your pet's teeth for life.#PetHealth #DogDentalCare #HolisticVet #Microbiome #TEEF #IntegrativeMedicineLinksTEEF: https://teefhealth.com/----------Connect with me on my website, social media pages, and all podcast platforms!Dr. Randy's WebsiteInstagram: @drrandypetvetFacebook: @drrandypetvetTikTok: @dr.randypetvetYouTube: @drrandypetvet Sign up for Dr. Randy's newsletter Products and Resources I RecommendDental:                                                                                                                            TEEF: https://teefhealth.comCat Grass/Catnip:                                                                                                          Pet Greens; https://www.petgreens.com/BooksFour Paws in Five Directions; by Dr. Cheryl SchwartzThe Forever Dog; by Dr. Karen Shaw Becker & Rodney HabibEar Cleansing SolutionsOti-Clens Cleaning Solution for Dogs & CatsTriz EDTATestsNutr...
