Dr Ben Javid- Root Canals: The Debate Your Dentist Won’t Have With You| DSH #1775

Most people treat dentistry like it’s separate from health.

This episode flips that.

Dr. Ben Javid from Smile Body breaks down what biological dentistry actually means — looking at the mouth as part of the whole body, reducing “toxic load,” and why chronic issues like inflammation, brain fog, and autoimmune symptoms can sometimes trace back to what’s happening in your teeth and gums.

We also talk about the foods that wreck oral health (and why Dr. Ben believes seed oils are a major driver), how ozone is used in biological dentistry, the controversy around root canals, and why he says you should ask questions, challenge your doctors, and research everything — because no one is coming to save your health for you.

Plus: why dental insurance feels like a scam, why his clinic operates more like a collaborative health facility, and how sedation dentistry can make treatment way more manageable.
