What if the reason you've tried everything, the supplements, the gut protocols, the functional medicine appointments, and still don't feel like yourself, is actually sitting in your mouth?

That's exactly what Dr. Katie To explores in this episode with one of the most sought-after voices in biological and wellness dentistry, Dr. Dominik Nischwitz, known globally as Dr. Dome. A biological dentist, naturopathic doctor, functional medicine practitioner, and author of It's All in Your Mouth, Dr. Dome has spent over 20 years building the framework for what he calls Biodentistry 3.0, a global standard that merges the highest level of dental craftsmanship with whole-body health optimization. 

Wellness dentistry and holistic dental care aren't trends. They're a return to what dentistry was always meant to be, which is medicine for the whole person, starting in the mouth. Gum disease and systemic health, oral bacteria and gut function, jaw inflammation and chronic illness - these connections are real, and they're support by science. 

4 Things You'll Take Away From This Episode

  • Your mouth is upstream from everything. Chronic gut issues, thyroid imbalances, brain fog, skin problems — they may all trace back to silent inflammation in the mouth. Oral health isn't separate from your overall health. It's where it begins.
  • Root canals and metal restorations deserve a real conversation. Dr. Dome explains that a root canal is essentially a non-living structure in a living body, and even when it looks fine on an X-ray, it can harbor bacteria and trigger low-grade, silent inflammation (ongoing immune activity without obvious symptoms) that affects the whole system. This isn't about fear. It's about having the full picture.
  • Ceramic implants are no longer science fiction. For patients looking at tooth replacement without titanium (a metal foreign to the body), ceramic implants are now recognized at the highest medical guideline level in Germany, and the protocols behind them are designed to be virtually pain-free and support full, lasting healing.
  • Healing requires preparation. Dr. Dome walks through the nutrition-first approach he uses before any surgical procedure, building the body up to be in an anabolic, tissue-building state so that healing is faster, fuller, and more lasting. Real food, real nutrients, and a personalized protocol come first.
