Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/lneniko Thinking of dentistry as only “teeth and gums” completely misses how profoundly the mouth influences sleep… In this LIFE Network replay, my dentist, Dr. Eniko Loud, and I explore what truly holistic, bioesthetic dentistry looks like—and why the mouth cannot be treated separately from the rest of the body. In this conversation, we cover: - Bioesthetic dentistry—why restoring natural bite alignment and force distribution matters for the skull, jaw, and nervous system. - Tongue posture and myofunctional therapy—how tongue placement on the palate influences swallowing, breathing, facial structure, and vagus nerve signaling. - The oral microbiome and systemic health—why gum bacteria and inflammation intersect with cardiovascular and neurodegenerative risk. - Bite alignment and nervous system regulation—what jaw position influences comfort, vagal tone, and overall physiological balance. - Common dental care mistakes—why brushing technique, duration, toothbrush angle, and replacement frequency matter more than most people realize. We also discuss the care my family and I have been receiving from the Whole Health Dentistry team in Scottsdale, Arizona—including appliance therapy, frequent early adjustments, and the role of jaw balance in correcting long-standing imbalances.
