Topics Discussed in this Episode: Reversing cavities with Salty Kisses Toothpaste and the Hippie Floss Oil What your teeth can tell you about your health How we get tooth decay Healing and preventing cavities What to eat to prevent cavities Things to note about oral care products What your daily dental routine should look like   Key Takeaways: Your teeth can tell you a lot about your health, from cardiovascular health to inflammation. Your teeth and gums have a direct impact on certain organ systems and vice versa. If you have certain issues or symptoms you’re experiencing systemically in your body, this can be a sign that something might be going on with your teeth. Tooth decay is a serious issue. In fact, it’s a true disease. Toothpaste should be safe to ingest. 50% of the bacteria in your mouth is actually on your tongue, so it’s vital to also clean your tongue.   Action Steps: Care for your teeth and gums regularly. Follow the dental diet. Eat clean, whole foods: Organic fruits and vegetables Fresh and dried spices and herbs High-quality fats Pasture-raised, grass-fed meats and dairy Vitamin C Vitamin D Phosphorus-rich foods Mineral-rich and quality carbohydrates Invest in a tongue scraper. How to make a salt rinse: Fill a mason jar with some warm good-quality water. Drop in a chunk of Himalayan sea salt. Let the sea salt dissolve. Feel free to add some antibacterial essential oils.   Samantha said: “We don’t often relate the health of our teeth to the health of our overall body. But the reality is we build up hundreds of bacteria on our teeth and our gums on a daily basis simply just by what we eat and what we drink.” “I want you to really become your own self-dentistry specialist because then you can visit the dentist less and save more money.”   Thanks for listening!   Important Announcements: Registration is now open for the Summer Edition of the Metabolic Reset Program!
