Holistic Dentistry for Kids: The Connection Between Oral Health and Overall Health
So many of you have been asking me about children’s oral health, holistic dentists, and our cavitation removals! It was an honor to go live on Instagram with my dentist Dr. Candice Owens, D.D.S. from @nunnallyfreemanowens in Marble Falls, Texas.
In the live, we covered:
Dr. Owens journey into biological dentistry
How our oral health affects the rest of our body
The best preventative things you can for your baby’s oral health
Recommendations for when to first take your child to a dentist
How do you properly determine what dentist is right for you
Education on fluoride
When is it possible to heal a cavity
Should wisdom teeth be extracted
How their dental clinic leverages the benefits of essential oils
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

Are you looking for a Holistic Dentist for your family? Check out these tips below:
I really believe eliminating my amalgam fillings and cavitations has been a key part of my vitality in the season, not limited to healthy hormone levels and conceiving our beautiful babies. It’s also been one vital step in minimizing root causes for my husband in his autoimmune journey. And we’re so excited to see our boys thrive after breastfeeding, implementing Weston Price nutritional principles as much as we can, and not using any fluoride in their mouths. Now we’re continuing to learn about how to minimize mouth breathing and how to empower our children to eat nourishing foods that support oral health and overall health at their ages - through respectful parenting (hello 6 1/2 year old with lots of new opinions ).
In our live, we also discussed our favorite products and recipes for holistic health! Check out the below and click here for our custom cart filled with our favorite recommendations.
Make sure to share this post with your mom friends that have been asking the same questions. I truly believe moms are the gatekeepers to our family’s health and it makes me so sad to know kids still are getting amalgam, root canals, and treated with fluoride without their moms knowing the negative consequences. When you know better, you can do better. Hats off to all of you mamas that are doing your best and loving your kids with all you got!
