Biological Dentistry and Holistic Oral Care with Dr. Cody Kriegel

In this episode, Dr. Kevin Conners hosts Dr. Cody Kriegel, a biological dentist from Iowa, to discuss the implications of traditional dental practices on overall health. Dr. Kriegel shares his personal journey into biological dentistry, which began with an experience involving his mother's health issues linked to dental work. He explains how this experience led him to question conventional dental practices, particularly the use of materials like amalgam (which contains mercury) and the treatment of root canals.

Dr. Kriegel emphasizes the importance of viewing dental health within the broader context of body health, explaining how chronic infections and materials used in dentistry can contribute to systemic health issues. He advocates for the use of advanced diagnostic tools, such as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), to better assess and treat dental conditions that may not be visible with traditional X-rays.

Throughout the interview, both Dr. Conners and Dr. Kriegel discuss the wider implications of their work, touching on the resistance they face from conventional medical establishments and the importance of treating patients as whole human beings rather than isolated symptoms. Dr. Kriegel also highlights the need for a paradigm shift in dentistry towards more holistic approaches, noting the critical role of dental health in overall well-being.
