But what if your mouth is actually a gateway to understanding your entire body? In this episode, my friend Mason Hutchison and I interview Kyle Denton to explore a more holistic approach to dental care. Drawing from his overlapping backgrounds in clinical dentistry and herbalism, Kyle shares how the mouth can reflect patterns of health throughout the body (and the many ways that herbalism can help us work with those patterns rather than simply masking them!). We also get into some surprisingly nuanced topics, including toothpaste ingredients, mouthwash myths, the oral microbiome, and why “one-size-fits-all” dental advice often falls short. Throughout the conversation, Kyle shares practical ways to approach oral care with more awareness, intention, and personalization.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know: ► The biggest misconception people have about dental care ► How to tell the difference between types of bad breath—and what they might mean ► Why “killing germs” isn’t always the goal when it comes to oral health ► Five common ingredients to avoid when buying toothpaste ► How understanding tissue states can completely change the way you approach oral care ► and many more insights for supporting your oral health naturally…. For those of you who don’t already know him, Kyle Denton is a clinical herbalist, medicine maker, and teacher whose roots in dentistry give him a rare and comprehensive view of the body’s inner design. For 15 years he worked in the dental field: chairside, lab fabrication, patient care and clinical management. During his later years in dentistry, Kyle’s study of herbalism began to merge with his clinical work, revealing a living bridge between oral anatomy and the energetic, emotional, and ecological dimensions of health. Kyle brings together his dual lineages of dentistry and herbalism to empower others with the tools, context, and confidence to care for their oral health naturally, while deepening their understanding of how the mouth reflects the rhythm and balance of the whole body. -- RESOURCES -- ► Sign up for Kyle’s free Herbal Dental Care mini course here: https://courses.herbrally.com/a/2148265685/XqYp4jfE ► Get herbal goodies every Wednesday when you sign up for my weekly newsletter: https://www.herbalremediesadvice.org/#SignUp ► Access the transcript for this episode here: https://www.herbalremediesadvice.org/natural-dental-care.html ► Kyle’s website: https://tippecanoeherbs.com/ ► Kyle’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tippecanoe_herbs ► Are you looking for high quality dried herbs?
