Rooted in Wellness with Mona Sharma

Most of us brush our teeth, floss, go to the dentist, and get the procedures done that our dentists tell us we need. Many of us never stop to wonder what else we could be doing for our oral health and whether or not we actually need these procedures done. It’s time we get educated on what our oral microbiome needs from us and why procedures don’t need to be the first thing we do to improve our oral health.    That’s why in this episode of Rooted in Wellness, I chat with Dr. Leedia Riman on how to heal and optimize our teeth and entire oral microbiome in a holistic way - using dental procedures as a last resort. Dr. Leedia also explains how our oral microbiome is integral to all systems of our body and the natural remedies and habits we can adopt in our daily lives that will make a drastic difference in the health of our teeth, mouth, and entire body.   Dr. Leedia is a holistic dentist who provides a mindful, integrative, whole-body approach to dental care. She is also the creator of Koracare, a lifestyle brand for all women to raise awareness about the importance of dental care during pregnancy, and thereafter, for mommy and baby. She’s also the creator of Little Jules, a unique candy line that will not give children and adults any dental cavities - only joy and healthy smiles!    We also discuss…   (00:02) Ancestral Identity and Acknowledgment (07:02) Navigating the Overwhelming World of Health (15:14) Oral Health's Impact on Overall Health (22:43 Building Trust With Fearful Patients (26:09) The Importance of Broth and Microbiome (33:45 Nasal Spray and Coconut Oil (36:26) Five Pillars of Dental Health (39:26) Monitoring Kids' Food Choices Through Stool (43:28) Dental Nutrition and Supplement Recommendations (53:26) Dental Issues and Hormonal Changes   Thank you to our sponsors: Timeline Nutrition: Shop here and use code: MONA at checkout to save!
