354: Straight White Teeth with Dr. Steven Lin

Your dental health is very often the proverbial canary in the coal mine, meaning that periodontal disease is often a red flag that systemic problems exist which could be very serious. Proper brushing and hygiene are essential, of course, but dental health starts from within, particularly with the foods and nutrients you eat. So what's the problem? Our modern diets lack essential bone-health nutrients like fat-soluble vitamins D, K, and A. Foods are loaded with sugar and create an overly-acidic environment in the mouth which can lead to decay. On this week's show, you'll meet a holistic dentist who advocates dental care from the inside out, proper nutrition, and of course, great hygiene. Listen & Learn: Is Xylitol good for dental care?
