Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

65. When the Mouth Speaks for the Body: Exploring Biologic Dentistry with Dr. Toni Engram
Q: What are the key considerations when discussing restorative choices and the possibility of root canal vs. extraction with patients who want to avoid aggressive interventions?
They discuss balancing conservative care with patient needs, ozone and other modalities to avoid unnecessary root canals, and the importance of clear communication about risks, alternatives, and the fact that biologic dentistry is not synonymous with neglect, but with tailored, proactive care.
65. When the Mouth Speaks for the Body: Exploring Biologic Dentistry with Dr. Toni Engram
Q: Tell me a little bit about your process for diagnosing sleep issues and how you decide whether someone is a good candidate for night laser therapy or other airway interventions.
The guest explains using CBCT to assess airway, screening for sleep symptoms, and applying a stepped approach that may include night lasers, myofunctional therapy, and collaboration with other clinicians to determine the best course for improving breathing and sleep, while emphasizing that dentistry is part of a broader treatment plan.
65. When the Mouth Speaks for the Body: Exploring Biologic Dentistry with Dr. Toni Engram
Q: So, why don't you tell us a little bit about maybe your story, right? How you got into biologic dentistry, and whether your autoimmune condition led you down this road?
Dr. Engram shares her personal journey into biologic dentistry, explaining how her autoimmune condition paralleled her clinical interests and led her to explore dentistry through a holistic, patient-centered lens. She describes the shift from conventional practice toward mercury-safe, fluoride-free, biocompatible materials and a focus on inflammation and the microbiome as central to oral health and overall wellness.
67. Toxic Bucket Overflow: How to Empty It Before It Breaks You With Spencer Feldman
Q: What is the right approach to starting detox for someone with long-standing health issues?
Start by assessing and addressing sleep quality, microbiome balance, and exposure to metals and mycotoxins, then phase in targeted detox protocols rather than overwhelming the system with many supplements at once.
83. Is Your Child's Gut Wrecking Their Teeth, Immunity, and Brain, with Dr. Elisa Song
Q: What kinds of tests do you start with for younger children who have signs of immune or airway issues?
I begin with a stool test to assess gut microbiome composition and function, often using metagenomic testing for a comprehensive view. If necessary, I also consider urine organic acid testing to capture metabolic status, and selective blood tests when symptoms warrant deeper nutritional or organ-system assessment.
