21 Jan 2026
Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
You have to ask questions.
Chapter 2: What is biological dentistry and why is it important?
I feel like our society is going to be a lot better if everyone starts getting the habit of thinking and not just following. You have to think yourself, does this make sense?
Chapter 3: How does oral health impact overall body health?
Is this something that I want to do for myself? Is it resonating with me?
Chapter 4: What foods should you avoid for better dental health?
Do some research, put some time and effort into it. No one is going to come save you. No one's going to come just tell you what to do.
Chapter 5: Can ozone therapy help in reversing cavities?
I remember I spoke at our conference one time and it was right before the election. I said,
Chapter 6: Why are mercury fillings controversial and what should you know?
You know, either way, whoever wins, no one's going to save you. You know, at the end of the day, the only person that's going to save you in your life is you. You have to decide what you want for yourself and go after it, whether it's your health, well-being, longevity, or career, whatever it is.
It's what you do with that life and what opportunities you're given that's going to make the biggest difference.
Chapter 7: What should you check before considering a root canal?
All right, guys, we got Dr. Ben here from Smile Body. Thanks for hopping on today, man.
I'm happy to be here, Sean. Thanks for having me.
Yeah, biological dentistry, upcoming space, right?
Well, you know what? It's getting more and more recognized for the importance as far as overall health, longevity, and vitality. It's been around for a while. It's not brand new, but it's, yeah, like you said, up and coming because it's more recognized now in the health and wellness world.
I remember when I went to dentist growing up, I never even considered this an option. I never even knew about biological dentistry.

Chapter 8: Why does Dr. Ben consider dental insurance a scam?
Most people don't. It's pretty rare if I meet someone and they know what that means.
Yeah. We should start there. Could you explain what actually biological dentistry is?
Yeah, yeah. You know, it's, you know, if you think of functional medicine, you know, like you go to the doctors, you know, there's naturopaths and functional medicine, you know, it's like an alternative route. It's very much like that on the dental side. So that's the first way I would describe it.
There's some some pillars of, you know, that as far as how we think as biological dentists, and how what lens we look at when we actually see a patient that's different. For one, we look at the body as a whole. Like in other words, you know, current medicine is diagnosing patients in silos.
Like you have a heart specialist and they just look at the heart, you know, and the skin specialist just look at the skin. You know, so for us as biologists, we look at the whole body. So, and we look at the connection between the mouth and the teeth and how they affect each other. For example, you can't have a healthy mouth with a toxic body.
And if you have a health, if you're trying to have a healthy body and you have a toxic mouth, there's a problem there too because then it doesn't work that way. So we're very focused on that and also materials that we use and restorations and all the treatments that we do, like you talked about root canals or metals or any source of infection that's coming in the body.
So there's a constant source of toxicity that comes in the body from every angle that we look at. You know, like Dr. Papa's, posts, you know, so many toxicities coming from every angle. So it's, so for us, our role as biological dentists is reducing that toxic load.
And a lot of times that toxic burden that people are living with every day, that's affecting every aspect of their health, vitality, longevity throughout their whole day, their energy levels, their focus, you know, my brain fog to autoimmune disorders and cancers. A lot of times that's related to your health.
I know when Pompa came on, he said he didn't see a single patient that had a massive health issue without a tooth issue as well. Oh, absolutely. Isn't that crazy?
