“The oral cavity is so important. It's the external representation of the gut,” explains Kelly Bento, dental hygienist and certified student of quantum biology.As a dental hygienist for several decades, Kelly has seen it all working in both traditional dental practices and biological dental practices that offer a more holistic approach to dentistry. In this episode, Kelly discusses the ways that the mouth acts as a predictor of overall future health. She talks about the differences between traditional and holistic dentistry, the importance of a healthy light environment for dental patients, and the dangers of common dental practices like the use of metal implants and fluoride. While there are benefits to seeing a holistic dentist rather than going to a traditional practice such as getting away from the use of harmful fluoride, Kelly explains that there are still areas of improvement that need to be made at holistic practices, particularly when it comes to the light environment. Overhead LED lights combined with powerful headlamps on dental loupes cause issues for both patients and dental practitioners alike. The use of metal implants is a real issue as implants not only inevitably fail, but also are known to cause health issues like autoimmune conditions and complications associated with intercepting radio and wi-fi frequency waves. Natural light from the sun is the number one most important factor for mitochondrial health. If you are going to a conventional dentist and noticing negative health impacts, speak up and explain that the light bothers you. Quotes“The oral cavity is so important.

Ask them to turn off the overhead lights, ask them to use the shield, and just simply say that the light intensity causes you a headache.” (18:00-18:14 | Kelly)“Just as they found out that every single root canal ultimately fails, every implant ultimately fails.” (23:34-23:42 | Kelly)“The number one reason for implant failure is bacterial infection. Well, the mouth is the most bacteria laden part of the entire body.” (37:00-37:13 | Kelly)“Don't ever bring your child into a conventional dental practice. Just walking in there. They are drilling amalgam that is just being vaporized into the practice.” (44:51-45:07 | Kelly)“Teeth will either give up minerals to their environment or receive minerals if they need them. So the interesting thing about teeth is that they're constantly sort of undergoing this flux and so what you want to do is just continue to to provide them with proper minerals and teeth will absolutely re-mineralize.” (59:33-1:00:00 | Kelly)LinksConnect with Kelly Bento:Instagram: @bento.kellyThere's more to QBC: To receive our Podcast Guide, where we break episodes down by category & to receive updates from us, subscribe to our email list here: https://qbcpod.comYou can join the FREE QBC online community here.
