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

You have to ask questions. I feel like our society is going to be a lot better if everyone starts getting a habit of thinking and not just following.

You have to think yourself, does this make sense? Is this something that I want to do for myself? Is it rising it with me?

There's some research put some time and effort into it and no one is going to come save you.

You know, that no one's going to come just tell you what to do.

I remember I spoke at a better conference one time and it was right before the election.

I said, you know, either way whoever wins, no one's going to save you.

You know, at the end of the day, the only person that's going to save you in your life is you.

You have to decide what you want for yourself and go after it, whether it's your health,

well, being longevity or career, whatever it is, it's what you do with that life and what you are

to is you're given. That's going to make the biggest difference.

All right, guys, we got Dr. Ben here from Smile Body. Thanks for hopping on today, man.

I'm happy to be here, Sean. Thanks for having me.

Yeah, biological dentistry, upcoming space, right?

Well, you know what, it's getting more and more recognized for the importance

as far as overall health, longevity and vitality.

It's been around for a while. It's not brand new, but it's, yeah,

like you said, up and coming because it's

we're recognized now and in the health and wellness world.

I remember when I went to dentist growing up, I never even considered this an option.

I never even knew about biological dentistry.

Most people don't. It's pretty rare if I meet someone and they know what that means.

Yeah, we should start there. Could you explain what actually biological dentistry is?

Yeah, yeah, you know, if you think of functional medicine,

you know, like you go to the doctors, you know, there's naturopaths and functional medicine,

you know, it's like an alternative route.

It's very much like that on the dental side.

So that's the first way I would describe it.

There's some pillars of, you know, as far as how we think as biological dentists

and how wet lens we look at when we actually see a patient that's different.

For one, we look at the body as a whole, like in other words,

you know, current medicine is diagnosing patients and silos.

Like you have a heart specialist and they just look at the heart, you know,

and the skin specialist just look as a skin.

But, you know, so for us as a biological dentists, we look at the whole body.

So, and we look at the connection between the mouth and the teeth and how they affect each other.

For example, you can't have a healthy mouth with a toxic body.

And if you have a health, if you're trying to be a healthy body and you have a toxic mouth,

there's a problem there too because then it doesn't work that way.

So we're very focused on that and also materials that we use in

registrations and all the treatments that we do.

Like you talk about root canals or metals or any source of infection that's coming in the body.

So there's a constant source of toxicity that comes in the body from every angle that we look at.

You know, you know, like Dr. Poppa's post, you know, so many toxicities coming from every angle.

So it's so for us, our role as biological dentists is reducing that toxic load.

And a lot of times that toxic burden that people are living with every day.

That's affecting every aspect of their health by Italian longevity throughout their whole day.

Their energy levels are focused, you know, my brain fog to autoimmune disorders.

It cancers. A lot of times that's related to your health.

I know when Poppa came on, he said he didn't see a single patient that had a massive health issue

without a tooth issue as well.

Oh, absolutely. Isn't that crazy?

You know what? It's crazy when you hear it for the first time, but we see it every day.

You can talk to people that oncologists that are really looking at the body as a whole,

and they'll say that about root canals or infections.

When I first heard that, that blew my mind, it was years ago.

And I was at a lecture and they said, you know, if you find someone that has cancer,

they are very likely to have some kind of infection in their mouth.

Not very likely, like it's 50 percent or 60 percent.

They were saying, like, 100 percent, 90 percent.

So they either have some kind of infection going on.

That's a source of that toxicity that's leading to that chronic disorder.

Makes me wonder, because I just found two polyps in my nasal passages and my root canals

had a cavity, like all of them have cavities.

So it makes me wonder, like, damn, I actually really get these out.

Well, you know, it depends on what your goals are.

At the end of the day, we are all busy.

We're all working hard.

We're all doing something.

We're working on.

And without our health, you know, what's not worth much, right?

Sometimes now we have people that are looking for their health through

by hacking and detoxing and having these systems of

health and longevity and vitality.

You know, you can get your breakfast in the world and all these people.

And they're starting to see, okay, we have to look at the mouth.

You know, because we can do all the liver detox we want.

We can do all the heavy metal detox.

But if you have a constant stream of toxicity still coming in your body,

you're only going to go so far.

The analogy I give is imagine you're in a room and there's a pipe broken.

Water is coming in.

And you want to clean up.

So you start putting towels in the ground and keep

tallying, but it's toxicity.

All the water still keeps coming until you shut off that valve.

You're not going to get very far.

Right.

So if you're trying to get healthier and you constantly have

a source of toxicity coming in your body,

you're not going to get very far.

Just same as nutrition, right?

If you're eating toxic foods, you're not going to get healthy.

Yep.

But the same is true for your mouth.

Speaking of toxic foods, what are the worst foods you've seen lead to poor

dental health?

Well, poor dental health is the same as poor overall health.

Same same thing, same food, same everything, right?

So I would say there's a few main foods that you probably have heard from

maybe other guests that that you should not have that are important for

overall health and for oral health.

Same things.

So number one, obviously, and not in order of

priority of be obviously wheat and gluten.

Yeah.

It's inflammatory causes a lot of this regulation throughout the whole body.

Sugar, obviously, not all kinds of sugar or process sugar.

But obviously there is a dairy, you know, the conventional dairy,

if you get good source dairy, it's different.

And of course, there is seed oils.

Seed oils and processed foods in general are probably the biggest

one. Seed oils are our biggest culprit of health issues in the country.

Damn, seed oils on bad detrimental.

I mean, and by far, if you look at the trends as far as health issues in this country,

as chronic health issues, diabetes and cancer, everything that has how it's been

kind of increasing over over time, the graph follows exactly how the increase of

seed oils has been.

Exactly. Exactly.

So not with the fact that, you know, I won't point these carbs were the worst thing.

Another time it was like sugar, you know, and another thing is fat.

You know, that that has kind of changed all this time.

You know, like, we got to not have fat.

I want point it was like, you got to not have fat at all.

Fat free, there's fat free that.

And then it was like sugar is bad.

But none of that really matters that much, really honestly.

Yeah.

It's the main thing is going to be the seed oils is the biggest culprit by far.

And that shows up in your mouth because guess what?

When you're again, it's systemically unhealthy, it shows up.

And if you look in the mouth and someone has no inflammation, no bleeding, no cavities,

even if they don't ever floss or they don't brush or teeth that much,

it's possible because if they're actually, you know, have a healthy lifestyle.

And if they have a balance, what we call microbiome, right, the oral microbiome,

which is the bacteria in your mouth, that's like your gut microbiome.

That's the second highest volume of good bacteria in your body is your mouth.

And so, you know, if you have that balance, you're fine.

You know, even if you have poor hygiene, you're still going to be fine.

Right.

A lot of times in the dental world, they really focus on hygiene too much.

You think so?

Oh, yeah.

I mean, it's important.

I'm not saying it's not important, but it's not number one on the list.

I feel a lot.

Have you ever seen someone reverse the cavity?

Yeah.

I mean, a lot of times, if the cavities are, you know, really show up like today,

I was, you know, seeing a patient, I was at the office right before I came here.

So, you know, when we're diagnosing cavities, you know, if they're, you know,

shallow enough, they're not that deep, there's different ways of reversing it.

You know, there's a hydroxyapatite now and then there's, we use actually a really cool tool called

ozone, ozone.

Have you heard of ozone before?

Ozone therapy, right?

Yeah.

I didn't know that was for cavities.

Well, you know what?

It kills bacteria on contact.

Oh, wow.

So, so it actually is much stronger in killing bacteria than antibiotics.

Damn.

Much stronger, like thousands of times stronger.

I've tried the side effects aren't as bad as antibiotics.

There is no side effects.

It's just oxygen.

Wow.

So, so it's just something that's been around for ages actually.

Integrative doctors have used it for ages.

But in the world of dentistry, by a lot of children's use it,

we can use it for a lot of things like, um,

we ozonate our water system throughout the whole office.

So, when you get a cleaning, you're getting ozone in your mouth.

I love that because most dentists do not do that with their water.

They use probably tap water on a set.

Tap water is even worse for you.

Oh my god.

Imagine you're getting a cleaning.

It's just tap water going everywhere.

No, they don't have a filtration system on their system.

But yeah, we have, we, we ozonate every inch of every little bit of water

if you drop a water that goes in your mouth.

And then when you're getting a cleaning, now you're not only scraping off that stuff,

but you're going to be killing the bad bacteria.

Because the bad bacteria don't forget, don't like, don't like oxygen.

The good bacteria love oxygen.

So bad bacteria don't like oxygen.

So you want to get in there and, and you, when you use an ozone to clean,

you're doing a much better job than you can with just scraping the stuff off your teeth.

But again, the presurgeries, we use it when we go in and clean out an infected area for,

even for fillings where you can area of a cavity.

If it's a shallow cavity, you can ozonate the two structure.

And when you ozonate two structure, it literally kills the bacteria that's causing the cavity.

Wow.

On there.

And it can, it'll just stop where it is.

That's exciting, man, because I know a lot of doctors when they use the fillings,

it's actually microplastics and like harmful materials, right?

You know, fillings, you know, obviously, everyone now knows that the mercury fillings

are horrible, right?

Heavy metal toxicity, mercury.

It's more than 50% mercury.

Still being used, though.

Oh, they still use that one?

They're still being used.

Wow.

In this country, still being used.

FDA allows that.

Still, I guess, started on that.

There's really sad situation with that, because you're in Europe,

and a lot of countries rush are banded in the 70s.

You know, a lot of countries are banded.

Here, they're still okay with it, to be placed for some reason.

I don't know why, hopefully with new leadership,

we'll get some change in that direction as far as health goes.

But this mercury, since we'll talk about mercury a little bit,

it is the most toxic non-reaturated graphic material

that you can use, that's on Earth.

That's right.

And it's more than 50% of it is in the fillings.

Now, we can, as Dennis cannot utilize or remove mercury in the mouth

and let it go down the drain.

Really?

It's that toxic.

Easily, we can't let it go down the drain.

Hold the drain.

You have to have something as a magellon separator.

So you've got to separate it before it goes down the drain,

because it's that toxic for the environment.

Wow.

But it's okay to put it in the mouth.

And when we're drilling it, obviously,

all the vapors that are going through,

it's okay for the patients to breathe it and it's also to be there.

And what, obviously, for us,

biological Dennis, because we're cognizant

and thinking about this kind of stuff

and we're trained to think about the materials,

we will go and get trained on proper removal techniques.

So we are protected.

The patient's protected.

Right.

And of course, we're not exposing everyone in the room

and everyone in the building to work reaper,

which is, it just has,

has causes so many health issues

contributing to that heavy metal toxicity that,

that, you know, it causes all kinds of neurological disorders,

you know, heart cardiac disorders

and neurodegenerative disorders.

It's amazing.

Yeah.

And still being used.

I can't believe that, man.

I mean, when you look at these firefighters,

they don't, they don't have the longest life expectancy

because they're breathing in all these harmful toxins, right?

It's a sad situation there, of course.

And, you know, even though they were,

if they're in the fires, you know,

they're going to be wearing some kind of masks and so on and so forth.

And for us, when we do the mercury removal,

we have a special mask.

We don't use the regular mask.

Wow.

You know, there's a special mask.

It looks like, like,

like the movie is like the gas mask.

Like literally like has mask.

Holy crap.

Because it's super toxic, super toxic.

And dentists are being exposed every day,

every single day.

And patients always tell patients,

don't go remove your mercury fillings.

I did a post on this topic in our social media.

I said, do not go and remove mercury fillings.

Why? Because if you just go to the local dentist

and just get them out,

guess what happens?

You're going to get usually more sick.

You know, you have to get it done correctly.

Yeah.

So it's super important.

And a lot of dentists, I'm now finding out

that they do root canals incorrectly too, right?

Well, you know, the root canals is a, you know,

controversial topic.

You know, I'm, I'm personally not a huge fan.

I used to do a lot of root canals.

I used to do,

got extra training in doing with them.

That's how you were training right?

You know, after dental school,

I went and got more training.

Oh, well,

root canals even better.

Because I'm the kind of,

I want to, if I'm going to do something,

I want to do it right.

Yeah.

I don't want to be just doing it,

you know, get the, get paid for it,

you know, and move on with my life.

For me, I want to do it at a high level,

at a specialist level.

You know, I don't know.

I'm not a fan of root canals anymore at all

because of the, what I see and what kind of research shows.

And so, you know, if, if, if a patient really wants to do a root canal,

I'll refer him out just because it goes against my belief system now,

at this point, to a specialist to get it done.

But overall, I think there's better solutions.

Thanks. You're that against them.

Oh, yeah, wow.

Because mine are like sideways and they've penetrated my gum.

And they're like, they've been telling me to get them out for 10 years.

So, I mean, you know, what I would say if someone has a root canal,

the most important thing you do is get it checked and get it checked

by a biological dentist with a comb beam CT scan,

which I don't know if you've ever had experience

when you come to the office, we're going to do one for you.

It's a scan that is a 3D imaging like a,

like you know what a CT scan you go to the,

it's, it's, you see 3D, you can see the slices,

you know, you can see detail.

It's so important to get that done

because there's such a high rate of infection

and patients have no pain.

We do these scans consistently on any patient

that has had a root canal example.

Or, you know, it's part of our new patient protocol,

it's this kind of scan that we do.

And so every new patient, you know,

we pretty much want to check and see how everything is doing

because there's other infections that you can find on this kind of scan.

It's something called cavitations and that otherwise

it's pretty impossible to find.

So we, that really commits me that I don't want to do it anymore.

I start scanning everyone that has...

Which will see the results, right?

Oh man, the volume of infections is...

I heard it's almost everyone that's gotten a root canal.

Um, you know, if you watch this documentary called the root cause,

have you seen that?

No.

It's a really good one to watch.

You should watch it.

It talks about a study that was done

where I think 1800, don't quote me on that,

but I think 1800 teeth were extracted.

And they start to check to see, you know,

actually how much bacteria is leaking from these teeth.

And every single one was holy crap.

So for me, if I scan a tooth

and I don't see a Vinny visible sign of infection,

I don't tell them they have to take it out.

I just, you know, I tell them, you know,

these are the kinds of stuff to you.

If it has visible signs of infection,

then it's a priority, which is one of our number one priorities, in fact,

to get this out because this is a source of toxicity

that's leaking in your body every day,

contributing to your toxic load with other toxic burdens in your body.

But now leading to autoimmune disorders, cancer, health issues.

Now this toxic load is what causes that.

So we want to, again, as a biological dentist,

we want to figure out ways to remove any source of toxic load.

So for again, if someone has root canals,

you shouldn't freak out.

You should just get it checked out.

Yeah.

That's my, that's what I would say.

You just get checked out.

See what's going on.

And then go from there.

You know, don't, don't rush to like, oh, I,

shit, I have to take them out.

What are the most common issues you're seeing right now in your patients?

Is it cavities?

Well, I don't have, I don't have an average patient pool.

My, our patient pool is not a typical patient population.

It's more of a patient population that is very health conscious

on health and longevity and vitality and, uh, and, uh, they, they,

we're, we're usually sought out by them.

So they, they come to us from not our local geographic location.

They, you know, most of our patients are coming from us from far away.

Wow.

So they either drive, a lot of times driving for hours to get there or, or flying.

Yeah.

We have a lot of patients that fly in and we have, because we have a set protocol

for, for traveling patients, um, because we can do things

that other dentists generally are not doing right now.

And because they've researched, uh, for this and they found someone that does this,

they find us and they come to us.

So our average patient is not the average patient in the United States.

So, um, what do we see?

We see patients that are looking to, um, detoxify.

They're looking for, um, they have health issues or, or, or they're looking

for to achieve a better health to go to the next level as far

from wherever they are.

And now they're realizing that like, for example, by hackers, you know,

like they're healthy, you know, or they just want to go in a better place now.

So they'll go in and, um, they'll come a lot of times, we'll, we'll, we'll go in

and, and assess them and see what's going on.

Uh, and they might not have a lot of cavities,

but they might have other sources of infection that they didn't know about.

Or a source of toxicity coming from different kind of metals that are used in

dental restorations that, you know, you don't need in your body.

Any metal in your body, forget about mercury.

Any metal in your body is causing inflammation is, is block

in the natural radians and the body, the electrical systems that are

naturally going through the body of the metal blocks that.

And another one that a lot of times people don't know, metals are blocking,

or actually not blocking, but actually attracting E.M.F.

Damn.

The electron magnification, which is, you know, it's like an antenna.

Imagine you're an antenna.

You have all this metal in your mouth.

You're an antenna for E.M.F.

So, um, you know, the, the, the, so we are looking at everything from that lens

when we see patients.

So we're looking for source of toxicity.

Again, when I, when I see a patient, I'm looking, okay,

what are your health goals?

What's happening?

Our new patient protocol is like, you know, we see,

we, we talk about a lot of things beyond, beyond teeth.

We're, I spent a lot of time on, on nutrition and what's going on and what,

what, what, what, like we just talked about, about nutrition.

But really, I, we just start talking about what's going on with their health,

you know, and what their goals are and where they want to be.

And we created a facility that we can encompass and do a lot more.

I know we haven't gone to the facility yet.

We, uh, when you come in, you'll see, we, we do a lot more than just dentistry in our facility.

It's, yeah, I saw the website.

You guys have a lot of stuff.

I was really impressed because I've never seen a dentist office have all these arrays of things.

Well, you probably won't, um, there isn't really much of that out there.

We're kind of, it kind of come up with a new concept when we build this facility.

Uh, we felt like, uh,

since we were doing biology and dentistry for a long time, we realized that we have to,

not only complain about the current system, but we got to come up with a better solution.

So our solution was, you know, we have to collaborate with more like-minded professionals,

doctors, naturopaths, nurses, um, uh, pediatric dentists.

We have, you know, other dental specialists that are, that think like us and work all together

to achieve better health for patients all around.

Not just, or because again, it's not just about your teeth.

It's not just about your systemic health.

It's about collaborating and that collaboration results in a much better, uh, outcomes for patients.

Right.

So you take their blood work too and everything?

Oh, yeah, or we have an MD on the team that's an integrative doctor that's, you know,

thinks like same, same as us and, you know, he's, he'll, he'll do his own

consultation for patients and obviously part of that consultation is diagnostics like blood work.

Yeah.

There's different kinds of diagnostics that you can do, uh, and in that point and then it's,

it's how do we move the needle and get the patient to a better place, whether it's, you know,

where, you know, their health is significant health issues or just weight loss, uh, or, you know,

anything that can move the needle for them to get them to a better place, uh, and we,

it's, but it's a team of effort.

It's not just a specialist here, go to that office, now go to this office.

For us, it was like, you know what, let's create something that's actually more collaborative

and we can, we can get much better results for patients.

I love that.

Like a one-stop shop almost.

Yeah, I mean, you can think of it that way.

Uh, we even have it a holistic aesthetician on the team.

Uh, because, you know, skin health, uh, a lot of times is, is, is based on, uh, just

caping on stuff or just doing some kind of peel or something like that.

For us, it's, again, if you come from the right angle, you're getting healthier from within.

Uh, and then get, you get better skin and better teeth and better hair and better,

everything.

Yeah.

You know, everything improves if you actually get healthy from within.

But if you do something superficial, um, and you might look healthy on camera or

if you look healthy from far, but really, you're not healthy.

No, I wish I knew that one out to kids struggling with acne.

I tried so many washes and creams and they never worked.

No, no one never told me to go within for that.

That's, I mean, that's the future.

We're heading in a really great direction as far as health care, health and wellness in this country.

The pendulum is swinging in the right direction.

People are really starting to ask questions about their health.

They're not just following the direction of a doctor.

Always tell patients, don't follow my directions, ask questions, challenge me.

In fact, whatever I say, don't just go do it.

Go research what I'm saying.

Go and get informed because at the end of the day my biggest message to my patients is that

you're the driver of your health journey and I'm here to support you.

I'm not here to tell you what to do.

I'm here to help inform you and help you in the right direction.

When you were in med school, did you have questions like where you

questioning the system at the time or did it take you years afterwards?

Whether it's dental school or med school or now because of education never ends,

we go to constantly go to courses and there's always something else we want to learn.

My brother is my partner and we go to these all these things all together always.

And we're the ones that are always asking questions, man.

Our hands are always up.

Is that an annoying kidding class?

It's like, it's like, but what about this?

But what about that?

But what about this?

So you have to ask questions.

I feel like our society is going to be a lot better.

If everyone starts getting the habit of thinking and not just following.

You have to think yourself and see, does this make sense?

Is this something that I want to do for myself?

Is it resonate with me?

Do some research, put some time and effort into it.

No one is going to come save you.

No one's going to come just tell you what to do.

I remember I spoke at our conference one time and it was right before the election.

I said, you know, either way whoever wins, no one's going to save you.

You know, at the end of the day, the only people person that's going to save you in your life

is you have to decide what you want for yourself and go after it whether it's your health

and well-being, longevity or career or whatever it is.

It's what you do with that life and what you opportunities you're given that's going to make

the biggest difference.

Yeah, I agree because insurance won't cover this.

You can't rely on the government to cover your health.

I did it post on insurance.

Dental insurance in particular because I'm a dentist, so we deal with that mostly.

And I think it's a fraud.

It's totally scam.

The dental insurance people really think they should rely on it.

Oh, I didn't go see the dentist because I don't have insurance or something like that.

You only get a thousand to two thousand dollars a year and that's it, right?

So if you want to get like let's say a crown done,

that's you're already pretty much past that.

Right.

Uh, feeling, you know, a couple of feelings, you're going to be past that.

It doesn't make sense because insurance should be for, you know, catastrophic loss.

You know, let's say medical insurance.

So like if you got for you get cancer, you're going to be gaxing it.

You know, you don't need insurance for a little things, right?

If you're for doctors visit, you can pay for that.

You're going to pocket, you know, you know, but if you have catastrophic loss,

you want to be covered in an emergency situation.

But dental insurance is the opposite.

It only covers little stuff, but it doesn't cover big stuff.

Yeah.

So it doesn't make sense at all, actually.

That's why I didn't get it, to be honest.

You shouldn't get it.

You shouldn't get it.

What we do in our office besides having systems for like payment plans and financing and all that kind of stuff,

we're launching a membership plan.

Oh, no.

We're getting membership plans because it's a much better answer than insurance that covers

just a little bit for us.

Then we can, it's very clear for patients that they can actually be supported and make things more

important.

Yeah, I'm a fan of membership plans.

My gym, my home, lifetime membership, my podcast studio is a membership plan.

It makes sense.

It makes my everything is kind of going more in that direction.

So it just, because it makes sense, the system, this insurance, it's just,

it wouldn't surprise me if it was a scam because did you see what happened with social security yesterday?

No, I didn't see that.

So Elon Musk revealed the numbers on the age, age brackets and how many people in those age brackets

were getting social security.

No way.

There was millions of people above the ages of 150 years old claiming social security.

So our tax dollars are paying for those people.

Wow.

It's basically people that died, but their families still collecting it and the reporting them still alive.

There was one guy that was like 300.

Wow.

Crazy.

I wonder if it's crazy.

No, it's crazy.

I mean, I don't get it.

I mean, without getting political, it seems like having this system of going and investigating

these systems and the government that, because we all know, government is overspending on everything.

Yeah.

And that's our money.

We work so hard every day to pay our bills and then taxes, right?

Especially in Cali out here, you're paying 50 percent.

Yeah.

I mean, it's like half the year you're working for the government, right?

So you think you'd care with how the money's being spent.

So why not have someone audit it?

You know, we have the IRS to come audit us at times, right?

So why not audit the government?

So anyway, they're starting to audit and they're failing.

I had to go on something.

We already knew that was going to happen.

No, it's just not so.

It's saying the money did.

It's infuriating because you and I pay millions of taxes.

So it's like, wow, that's how it's being spent.

Well, again, we kind of knew that it's being over.

So anything the government does, it's messed up as far as like,

oh, we're going to build a bathroom.

But it's going to cost $5 million to build this bathroom.

You know, it hurts stories like that.

It's so much corruption of people being, you know, pocketed money.

And where is this money going?

It's not for the bathroom.

The pandemic was, no, it's because I was selling PPE during the pandemic.

And just seeing what the government was paying for like masks and gloves,

it was crazy.

I'm sure you heard some stories like those days.

Oh, yeah, I couldn't believe it.

Oh, yeah, it's just there's so many stories like that.

Even the PPP monies that rolled out to people that, you know,

some of the money money that was sold out gave out to people,

it's like, there was no organization in so much money being wasted.

Yeah.

Anyway, mind blown.

I mean, while companies like you could have used that money.

I mean, listen, we're fine.

We're excited for the next chapter.

Again, I'm not a doom and gloom.

I'm a super positive type of guy.

I'm excited for the next chapter for what's to come.

I'm really excited for Bobby Kennedy.

And, you know, he's, he's, I've been a fan of his for a long time.

And we're excited for what he's going to be hopefully bringing to the table

as far as health and human services.

In some of these agencies, and hopefully,

Doge is going to do some good things out there too.

And it seems like already got enough to a good start.

Either way, we have to do our part.

Again, I'm a big believer that, you know,

we can't wait for anyone to save you, right?

So, so for me, it's like, okay, what am I doing every day?

For myself, for my family, for my community.

And, you know, that's how you're going to make change.

You know, it's, it's what you're doing yourself every single day.

If you're waiting for someone else to do it,

we're not going to get too far.

So, for us, that's why we built this new facility.

And we're that, okay, we got to do something different.

Because the system is broken.

We call it, but really not broken.

Because it's actually made this way for purpose.

Right. So it's not, it's really not broken.

It's working for them.

No, we spend more money as, you know, on healthcare than any other country.

We weigh more and we have, we provide more prescriptions

to people, to Americans than any other country by far.

You know what, did you know that every adult in this country by average

is on four to five prescriptions a day.

A day?

A day. So that means if you're 18 years or older,

wow, your average adult, 45 prescriptions a day.

That's so young.

So it's like, it's, it's crazy.

So this is, it's, again, there's, it's, it's not by accident.

This is, this is a system that was set up this way.

And what we can do is try to make a difference.

And that's why we create a small body to come in and go, okay,

well, how can we get patients healthier from within without prescriptions,

without doing invasive procedures or surgeries?

And, you know, in general, I'm not talking, I'm talking about the medical side

and the dental side collaborating together.

And to get better results, sometimes surgery is necessary.

Yeah, in worse situations.

But they, they're so quick to jump to with these days.

I see it with my athlete friends are like, oh, you need surgery.

You know, again, it's, there is, the future is bright.

There's, there's a lot of good things happening.

I'm really excited about what's to come next in the world of health and wellness.

And again, if we all keep pushing in the right direction,

I think we're going to have amazing results.

Absolutely.

Can't wait to check out the facility.

We'll do a part two there, walk through all the procedures and stuff.

Yeah, you're going to love it.

Yeah, I'm excited.

Where can people find you man in the meantime?

Well, our handle on social media is my small body.

And also our website is my small body.

So all of our social media is actually my small body.

So you look at the look for us there.

And I put a lot of content out to try to get people informed about

this kinds of topics that we're talking about today.

And more and a lot more than that.

And because again, if people don't know, they can't make changes.

So my goal is to get people knowledgeable about all this,

be a people knowledgeable about what this kind of new

perspective on health and wellness and health care it would be as far as biological

dentists and and other health care professionals working together as a collaborative.

So I'm excited for this next chapter, man.

I'm excited to see you change the narrative because a lot of people are scared of dentists,

but I think you make the process a lot more fun and manageable.

Well, it's an understandable fear, you know, because think about it when you're young.

You go to the dentist, your first probably painful experience is going to be at the dentist,

getting a shot, and all God, horrible, getting a feeling, drilling in your mouth,

doing that whole invasive experience of someone in your personal space.

There's nothing good about it.

But for us, it's a matter of making that experience a lot better.

Not only through, you know, just listening,

to start out, just listening to the patient, you know, it's,

you would think that's a given, but you know, how many times patients tell me that I've never had

any doctor listen to me this much.

Oh, never.

They just shuffle you in.

We sit with the patients and are in our, and just we just talk about what's going on.

And nothing else is matters at that moment, you know, I'm not in a hurry.

And just by then, and then by just by that,

right, it makes a big difference.

And then we put a plan together for them.

And then when we want to do treatment,

we do something called sedation dentistry.

So when you don't have to be suffering and white knuckling and going through these procedures,

we do different kinds of sedation.

Obviously, there are sedations where you can be put out with anesthesiologists.

We do that.

But most common, it's a sedation with something called oral contestedation,

it's a pill-formed sedation.

And you, let's say, are getting a dental implant.

And we do ceramic dental implants because we want to be metal-free.

And we want to do that surgery.

You know, no one wants to go through that.

But if we do it the right way with this oral contestedation,

you're sleepy and loopy when we're getting the work done.

And you're not

realizing what time-passing and next thing you know, I put the chair up and we're done.

And the patient didn't even realize we started.

Wow.

But the whole time we can actually talk.

You're like, how are you doing?

Sean, are you comfortable?

It's like, you're listening to music and you're just kind of in a happy place.

But you're not really experiencing it.

That's cool.

That's the time it's all done.

So for us, you know, the whole each step of the way,

we want to make sure you have a good experience.

I love them, man.

We'll link your stuff below.

I'm sure people will message with some questions.

Thanks for coming on, man.

I'm excited to be here again and seeing you at the office.

Yeah.

Next time, part two, guys.

Stay on the lookout for that.

See you next time.
