About this listen

Dr. Seb, a biological dentist, discusses his holistic approach to dental health, emphasizing the connection between oral health and overall well-being. He highlights the importance of airway and breathing mechanics, noting that issues like sleep apnea and upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) often go undiagnosed. Dr. Seb explains how dental practices can identify these conditions through symptoms like tongue scalloping and dry mouth. He stresses the significance of nasal breathing for oral health and overall health, as it helps maintain saliva and balance good and bad bacteria. Dr. Seb advocates for a comprehensive approach that includes myofunctional therapy, tongue positioning, and inflammation management to improve patient outcomes.
