Tooth be Told

Did you know the bacteria in someone else's mouth could be quietly destroying your teeth right now? ...We looked into it. Welcome to Valid Source? — The podcast where we investigate the internet myths, viral claims, and trending gossip you've been thinking about but haven't had time to research. We're not experts. We're just two friends willing to do the extra digging.This episode: Harley gets a full life story from the guy who hit her car (and somehow it leads to cavities), we both show up to the dentist on the same day at the same time without planning it, because of course we did, we break down whether cavities are actually contagious (spoiler: yes, and you're going to think twice about sharing that soda), we go deep on fluoride and what it might be doing to our brains, we debunk the root canal cancer documentary that Netflix quietly pulled, and Harley finds out live on air that removing your mercury fillings might actually make things worse.Valid Source? verdict on dentistry: more complicated than we thought, occasionally corrupt, and apparently your mouth is everyone else's business too.⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses mercury exposure, fluoride health concerns, and predatory dental corporation practices. If you've been the victim of deceptive dental billing, you can file a complaint with your state's Attorney General office.📖Full episode breakdown + sources🌐 https://linktr.ee/validsourcepod 📧 [email protected] 📞 (720) 593-1668Opinions expressed are solely those of the hosts and do not reflect any affiliated companies, employers, or sponsors.
