Sugar on its own cannot cause tooth decay. This podcast challenges the idea that sugar is the only cause of tooth decay. It offers ways to halt and even reverse cavities, with methods you can use at home.
You eat sugary or starchy foods. Bacteria in your mouth feed on these, releasing acids as a byproduct. The acid attacks your tooth enamel, which is made of minerals like calcium and phosphate. This weakens the enamel. Ideally, saliva washes away food particles and neutralizes the acid. Minerals from your saliva and food can then rebuild (remineralize) the enamel. However, if the acid attack is too frequent or intense, demineralization wins, leading to cavities. Here's where the holistic approach comes in...

Can you sculpt your jawline with your tongue? The internet is buzzing about "mewing," but does this tongue posture trick really work?
Dr Rachel Hall, Brisbane holistic dentist exposes the facts behind mewing, its limitations and potential risks.
Mewing is a popularized technique that involves placing your tongue in a specific position in your mouth to supposedly change your jawline and facial structure. It's named after a British orthodontist, Mike Mew, who promotes a theory of facial development called orthotropics.
Here's the gist of mewing:
- The Technique: Mewing involves resting your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth, including the back of your tongue. Basically, your tongue posture is supposed to train your jaw muscles and influence the shape of your jawbone.
- The Claims: Proponents of mewing claim it can lead to a more defined jawline, improved facial aesthetics, and even better breathing and sleep. Some even go further suggesting benefits for jaw pain, speech disorders, and sinusitis.

Can hydroxyapatite toothpaste reduce your risk of tooth decay and strengthen your teeth?
Recent studies have stated that 'Hydroxyapatite toothpaste is as good if not better than fluoride at protecting your teeth and none of the potential nasty side effects or toxicity'.
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a type of calcium that makes up 97% of your tooth enamel and 70% of the dentin (the inner part) in teeth.
Hydroxyapatite helps strengthen tooth enamel and protect teeth from decay.
Hydroxyapatite toothpaste is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to fluoride-based toothpaste.
Toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite can create a barrier on your tooth surfaces. This barrier protects teeth against the sugars and acids that wear away at your teeth.
Dr Rachel Hall Brisbane holistic dentist explains about hydroxyapatite and how to reduce your risk for tooth decay/cavities.

Food can either work with your body, fuel it perfectly and even help it to repair, heal and grow strong or it can be damaging, making us tired or overactive, adding to inflammation, toxins and ultimately disease in our body.

Consider that – every time you eat or drink something it is healing you or harming you. Wow, that is a powerful and thought-provoking statement. It’s food for thought.
Rates of illness and disease are increasing, there is not a day that goes by at my holistic dental practice in Brisbane that we do not see someone with diabetes, cancer, allergies, heart disease and a whole host of other conditions, many of which would be considered diseases of lifestyle.

As a holistic dentist I’m always being asked what I think about fluoride in the water, what type of water should I drink, can I have bottled water and so on. In my opinion, the best water to drink would be non-fluoridated water that contains minerals like a good quality mineral water from Europe (Australian mineral water has the minerals removed so don’t be mislead by the names on the labels!).
But what really surprises me is, nobody seems to know how much water they should drink or why it is so important.

We all know that teeth decay becuase we eat sugar - well at least that's what we have been told. If we know what causes tooth decay then we should be able to prevent it.
In this episode Brisbane holistic dentist Dr Rachel Hall discusses diet, bacteria, oral hygiene and lifestyle as ways to prevent tooth decay.
We have fluoride in toothpaste and the water supply but we still have tooth decay so that says fluoride is not the solution.
We need to make changes in oral hygiene and dietary choices to reduce and prevent tooth decay.

If you are considering removing your dental amalgam fillings because they contain mercury it is very important that it is done safely. Your dentist should use and follow the correct protocols to protect you and minimise exposure to mercury release during the process. In this episode, Brisbane holistic dentist Dr Rachel Hall discusses what protocols should be used and why, how the amalgam removal should be approached, the number of fillings to have replaced in each session and the timing of the appointments. This way you can arm yourself with all the information you need to make sure you are getting the best care and not being put at risk of mercury toxicity.

You may have heard that you shouldn't do a detox if you have mercury amalgam fillings in your teeth or that it is a waste of time. Well, that isn't true or accurate as anything you can do to reduce the impact and effects of mercury and its build-up in your body is going to be of benefit.
Dr Rachel Hall Brisbane holistic dentist shares how you can support your body to deal with and reduce mercury and why it's important to do so even if you still have mercury-containing dental fillings.

Is it dangerous to get your amalgam fillings removed? Well, the answer will depend on who you ask and on how the amalgam is being removed.
With safety protocols that ensure minimal exposure to the mercury that gets released from dental amalgam when they are drilled, amalgam removal is very safe and effective.

Dental amalgam has been used to fill teeth for over 200 years, however, due to the risks of mercury in the filling as well as the fact that it is unsightly and unattractive there are now many different options and safer options that can be used to fill or restore your teeth. Dr Rachel Hall holistic dentist explains what these materials are and discusses their safety and suitability for use in modern dentistry.
Dentistry without mercury or metals is an approach that holistic dentists use to reduce toxic impacts on your body as well as utilising materials that will provide a naturally looking long-lasting result.
www.holisticdentistry.au
The symptoms of mercury toxicity have been extensively studied and are well known. Dental amalgam fillings are a mix of mercury and other metals and the mercury escapes from the fillings into your body and can cause many symptoms. By understanding these symptoms you can begin to join the dots and correlate that many of your health concerns could be caused by the mercury-containing fillings in your teeth.
This episode also covers the changes in symptoms that people experience after having their amalgam fillings safely removed by a holistic dentist.
www.holisticdentistry.au
Holistic dentist Dr Rachel Hall discusses the research facts and findings regarding the impact of mercury from dental fillings on health. Silver, metal fillings called amalgam are a mix of mercury and other metals. The mercury escapes from the fillings into your body, and there are many research studies that have been done to see where the mercury goes and what impact it has on the body and our health. This episode goes through those studies and their findings so you can be better informed.

As a holistic dentist, it is my mission and vision to highlight the weaknesses of my profession and the training we receive in regard to the oral-systemic connection (your mouth and your body impact on each other) so that dental professionals and educators can improve the delivery of the oral and overall health of our patients.
I believe it is our duty to support and empower you to understand where the approach of conventional dentistry is lacking so that you understand better your needs, what to ask of your dentist and other health professionals and how to take charge of your own dental health and wellbeing.

MERCURY FILLINGS AND HOLISTIC DENTISTRY
It is obvious that in regard to mercury amalgam fillings, dentistry is heading in a new direction and more and more dentists are rethinking the use and safety of these fillings. In 2008 it was estimated that 52% of all general dentists no longer placed amalgams in their patients’ teeth. The majority however stopped doing so not because they felt amalgam was not a good or safe filling material but more because of a push to have fillings that look more natural. However, it does provide insight into the future of amalgam fillings and while it is clear that dentistry will eventually be Mercury Free . . . is just being Mercury Free enough? The answer is NO!

If you suffer from headaches, migraines, facial pain, pain behind your eyes or pains in your neck and shoulders you should mention it to your dentist as the cause may actually lie inside your mouth. The cause of your headaches could be due to problems with your bite which is known as an occlusion in the trade. The way your teeth meet when your jaws close together can impact your jaw joint and surrounding muscles. If your bite is out of balance it can have far-reaching effects on your health, posture and well-being.

When it comes to gum recession there is a lot of misinformation and misunderstandings out there in internet land and even in the way dentists have been taught on this topic itself. Depending on what you read or who you speak to the information is confusing and often contradictory: some of it tells you can’t grow gums back than others say you can, and then when it comes to the causes of receding gums you’re brushing too hard or its because you have gum disease. But is there more to receding gums than that? In this episode, Dr Rachel Hall, holistic dentist of Evolve Dental Brisbane will help dispel the myths around receding gums and offer support on how to best address gum recession to stop its progression in your own mouth. Discover the reasons why your gums recede, natural ways to support gum health and how your holistic dentist can help treat the issue.

Is there more to great dental health than just brushing and flossing your teeth and avoiding sugar? Your overall health and the health of your mouth are more connected than you realise. Optimal nutrition and a balanced lifestyle as essential if you want great oral health. Dental disease is a sign of systemic illness and imbalance and no amount of good oral hygiene will fix that. A healthy mouth is crucial for having a healthy body but the two go hand in hand.

Do holistic dentistry and cosmetic dentistry go together? Did you know straight well aligned teeth provide you with many oral health and well-being benefits? Think of your teeth as a window to the health of your body. Your teeth and gums — and how they look to others when you smile — say a lot about your overall health. If you’re taking good care of both, you’re probably taking good care of the rest of you. Clear aligners or braces make caring for your teeth and gums easier.
Having straight teeth reduces the risk of possible problems alleviating issues that can be caused by an improper bite, speech or chewing difficulties, jaw problems, and increased wear on the tooth enamel. Clear Invisalign-like aligners effectively address all of these orthodontic issues, so you’ll have the confidence of a great smile and increase the likelihood of improved oral health.

Do root canals cause cancer or make us sick?
Recently there has been a lot of talk about the dangers of root canals and whether they cause health issues like cancer. As a holistic dentist, I thought I’d share my views to help you discern what does and doesn’t hold true when it comes to the facts about root canals.
Dr Rachel Hall Brisbane Holistic Dentist discusses Root Cause the movie and what she did and didn't agree with after watching it. The same conditions that predispose you to tooth decay and dental disease are the same conditions that put you more at risk for things like cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and yes even cancer is this more likely the real reason so many people with root canaled teeth also have health issues?
www.holisticdentistry.au
If your mouth is unhealthy and has an untreated disease, inflammation or infection then it is increasing your risk for ill health and is already making you sick.
As a holistic dentist, I have the unique opportunity of looking inside your mouth and being able to see the condition of the inside of your body. I also get to look for and spot the warning signs of inflammation and disease that are contributing to or setting you up for these chronic systemic health issues.
The mouth is a window into the health of the body. It can show signs of nutritional deficiencies or general infection. Systemic diseases – those that affect the entire body, such as diabetes, blood cancers, and more can be detected by looking at the health of the mouth.

What are the six pillars of health care that you need to focus on to have a healthy life and reduce your risk for chronic illness and disease?
We are living in a society that believes that if you can put it in your mouth and eat it, it's food. However just because you can ingest it doesn’t mean you can digest it or that it is good for you and your health. More and more we are learning the importance of optimal nutrition and how that relates to your health. We have seen a war wage over the sugar vs. fat camps as regards health and heart disease, a war that was won at great cost to humanity by the sugar industry. However the tide is turning, and the low carb healthy-fat living ideology is finding a voice and bringing amazing results to health.
Yet we find that the health authorities globally are trying to silence Doctors from promoting this way of eating that takes us back to common sense as nature intended nutrition.
Dr Rachel Hall Brisbane holistic dentist shares that general health essentially has 6 pillars, six things that if you do will improve your outcome for living a long and healthy life.

Holistic dentistry has some amazing science-backed protocols and approaches to oral health and dental treatments. In this show, Dr Rachel Hall exposes the not-so-pretty side of holistic dentistry, from the ugly to the downright dangerous and concerning new techniques and modalities that could cost you your health and your teeth.
One such treatment is jaw expansion without surgery for adults with devices called FAGGA or AGGA - anterior growth guidance appliances.

There are a lot of questions about holistic dentistry and in this podcast, Brisbane Holistic Dentist Dr Rachel Hall provides her answers. Simply put holistic dentistry combines traditional dentistry together with medicine, science and natural health philosophies to support health and well-being.
Why did I become a holistic dentist, why is it important to me and more...

The British Dental Journal published an article promoting the benefits of dental offices having an amalgam separator unit fitted to their waste plumbing to protect the oceans and waterways form mercury pollution from dental amalgam. Yet at the same time, the dental profession swears that amalgam is perfectly safe and you do not need to worry if you have it in your teeth.
How can it be both - how can it be toxic to the ocean and all life in it but safe for you to have in your teeth? Dr Rachel Hall talks about this and encourages you to talk to your dentist about mercury and amalgam fillings and to be the advocate for your health and that of others.
'It is my stance that the dental profession know how bad amalgam is and this is why amalgam separators exist and yet they do little to nothing to protect you or themselves from the toxic effects of mercury." Dr Rachel Hall

Can you heal dental cavities with food?
As a holistic dentist, I am a strong believer in empowering and equipping my patients with the right tools and information to treat the root cause of their dental issues, instead of just treating the symptoms. And that is certainly the case when treating dental cavities.
Unfortunately, fillings are often the first line of defence against tooth decay, no matter how minimal the decay may be.
However, while there are some cavities that definitely require fillings – those that have eaten through to the inside of the tooth and those that are deep enough to reach the nerve and cause pain – there are also early or smaller cavities that you have the power to reverse on your own, at home. And the power to do so comes directly from the foods you eat.
www.holisticdentistry.au
The root cause behind many of today’s most common chronic illnesses is excess exposure to toxic metals found throughout the environment, the food supply, cosmetics, dental amalgam fillings and in the past vaccines that we had in childhood.
Because heavy metal toxicity can manifest itself as all sorts of seemingly unrelated health conditions ranging from mental disorders and food allergies to gastrointestinal problems and organ failure, millions of people are likely suffering from this largely curable condition without even knowing it.
Heavy metals like mercury (found in dental fillings called amalgam), lead, arsenic and cadmium are lurking everywhere these days, making it nearly impossible to avoid them completely.
This is why it is critical to learn how to manage exposure through proper nutrition and detoxification.
Heavy metals are toxic to our well-being. Supporting the body to detox heavy metals like mercury from amalgam fillings can boost your immune function and energy levels. Brisbane Holistic Dentist Dr Rachel Hall explains more.
www.holsiticdentistry.au
What is all the fuss about mercury fillings, surely dentists wouldn’t put it in our teeth if it wasn’t safe, would they?
Leading Brisbane holistic dentist Dr Rachel Hall has been providing safe amalgam removal and mercury-free dentistry for over 20 years and fully understands the risks of having mercury fillings in your teeth.
The fuss stems from the fact that mercury leaks from your fillings over time, accumulating in your body and putting you at risk of mercury toxicity.
Mercury is very dangerous to the human body, it is a highly toxic heavy metal.
Amalgam removal is the process that holistic dentists use to safely remove mercury-containing amalgam fillings from your teeth. Brisbane holistic dentist Dr Rachel Hall, who is an amalgam removal dentist, shares the 10 things you need to know about amalgam fillings and mercury and your health.

Conventionally trained dentists are not going to tell you this. There is a lot of science behind fluoride and its impact on your teeth and health but is what you have been told both sides of the coin, is it the truth? The arguments range over fluoridation and whether fluoride causes detectable harm – after all it's only a small amount in the water supply.
Dr Rachel Hall Holistic Dentist discusses the harms and myths about fluoride in our drinking water.

What are the myths and facts surrounding amalgam fillings?
If you ask your dentist about silver amalgam fillings and wonder whether you should have them removed or not then often depending on which dentist you see you will get different answers, many of them will tell you not to be silly as they are perfectly safe. Dr Rachel Hall holistic dentist in Brisbane explains the facts about amalgam fillings to help you make an informed choice.
Amalgam fillings contain mercury by the way, but due to the fact that they are metallic, there are a whole host of other issues that need to be considered.
www.holisticdentistry.au
When it comes to getting your amalgam fillings removed find out why you should get it done right the first time by making the SMART choice. Brisbane Holistic Dentist Dr Rachel Hall explains more.
Mercury, used in dental amalgam, has been linked to many health problems. Yet dentists are still placing it in people's teeth and telling them it is perfectly safe. About half of amalgam is made of mercury, the rest from other metals such as silver and tin. Mercury has been identified as an environmental hazard and linked to Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and kidney and brain damage.
Dentistry recommends not to place or remove amalgam fillings in pregnant women due to the ‘theoretical’ risk to the foetus. And also to avoid its use in children, the elderly and the medically compromised (those with poor kidney function for example).
Amalgam Removal? So should you get your amalgam fillings removed? That is only a choice you can make. However, if you need to have a filling replaced due to decay, breakage or issues with the tooth then you should be asking to have it done safely to reduce your exposure to mercury.
www.holisticdentistry.au
How to detox for amalgam removal and to support your body to reduce mercury and heavy metals.
Brisbane Holistic Dentist Dr Rachel Hall explains why you need to detox, and the benefits of it and outlines the detox protocol of amalgam removal.
Having your amalgams removed is the same as putting your body through a massive detox. So unless you are in perfect health, full of energy, eating an optimal diet and have excellent liver function, great digestion, a strong immune system and are capable of chelating heavy metals you are going to need some support to help your body detox mercury.

In this weekly podcast, Dr Rachel Hall holistic dentist in Brisbane Australia shares her expertise and insights into dental health and wellness.
Dr Rachel Hall holistic dentist Brisbane discusses dental amalgam fillings and mercury. Discover why holistic dentists choose not to use amalgam fillings and why they advocate the safe removal of amalgam.
People with amalgam fillings exceed all the occupational exposure limits for mercury allowances set in all European and North American countries. Adults with four or more amalgams run a significant health risk from the mercury, while in children as few as two amalgams will contribute to health problems.
Mercury blocks the biochemical process of the body by interfering with the way messages are sent from one cell to another via minerals and enzymes.
Mercury not only competes with essential minerals it also depletes the body of them. These actions then impact the functionality of the body impairing the immune system, nervous system, hormone production, kidney function, cardiovascular system, energy production and more.
www.holisticdentistry.au
Mercury, used in dental amalgam, has been linked to many health problems. Yet dentists are still placing it in people's teeth, telling them it is perfectly safe and advocating that it be left in your teeth. This is because no mainstream dental organisations recommend you replace your amalgam fillings as long as they are in good condition and there is no decay beneath them. Yet the IAOMT research group beg to differ stating that mercury is a neurotoxin and dental amalgams pose a significant health risk due to the release of mercury into your body over the lifetime of the filling.
It is your choice whether you continue to keep mercury amalgam fillings in your teeth or not but be educated and now how to have them removed safely if this is what you decide to do.

What is holistic dentistry?
People often ask “what’s the difference between holistic dentistry and traditional dentistry?” or “how similar is holistic dentistry to traditional dentistry?”
A holistic dentist offers conventional and complementary dental care. Unlike a traditional dentist, who may focus on one particular tooth or gum problem, the holistic dentist focuses on an individual’s whole mouth and whole body health.
The holistic dentist is keenly aware of the best, most comprehensive long-term treatments necessary for restoring a patient’s oral and total health.
Let's take a deeper dive into the differences between a holistic dentist and a traditional dentist and what makes a holistic dentist holistic.

Silver fillings called dental amalgam may be silver in colour and do contain some silver, but they also contain a mixture of other metals plus this one substance that could be adversely impacting your health without you even knowing it.
Dr Rachel Hall exposed the hidden dangers in your silver amalgam fillings and explains why they should be safely removed with the help of a holistic dentist.
So should you get your amalgam fillings removed? That is only a choice you can make but after listening to this short podcast you will better understand the reasons why.
www.holsiticdentistry.au
Teeth decay because we eat too much sugar. Right? While this is true, it only partly explains what is going on in the body. If the cause of tooth decay were so simple we could prevent tooth decay by not eating sugar. Yet we know that it is not as easy as this.
There are many exceptions to the rule that sugar causes tooth decay, for example, we see tooth decay in individuals who do not consume a lot of sugar and little or no tooth decay in those who do.
Maybe then there is more going on with tooth decay than meets the eye?
Studies have shown that whether teeth decay or not depends on the balance of minerals in the blood. With this in mind, Dr Rachel Hall of Evolve Holistic Dentistry Brisbane expands on the role of diet and nutrition in tooth decay.
Is there such a thing as the dental diet?
www.holisticdentistry.au
In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of practices offering holistic dentistry and this has largely been patient-driven.
In the past, clients were happy just to have a dentist fix their teeth but attitudes to dentistry have been gradually changing. The internet has made people much more informed about all aspects of dentistry and how oral health impacts other areas of their lives.
People are turning to their dentist for information about everything from the right diet to sleep problems to treatment options and the environmental impacts of dental materials.
Dr Rachel Hall of Evolve Holistic Dentistry Brisbane reveals that she sees patients from all walks of life who come in for holistic dental care and just expect more than they are getting from their mainstream dentist. They ask better questions and they’re much more informed about heading along a holistic path in their health care.
It’s this that has created a demand for holistic dentistry but if you’ve never heard of it before you’re likely to be wondering what, exactly, is a holistic approach to dentistry.

Dental school taught me that dental amalgam was safe, that mercury wasn't an issue and that fluoride helps prevent tooth decay - and I believed it. For the first 8 or 9 years of my career, I drilled, filled and placed amalgams and used fluoride for my patients. Then in 2001, I discovered that I had been misled, perhaps even lied to and that what I had been taught was wrong.
In this show, I tell all about the dark side of dentistry.

Mercury fillings are bad for your health so is it enough for a dental office not to use amalgam? Do they need to be mercury safe to truly be a holistic dentist?
Amalgam Free Dentistry Is It Enough?
There are many dental practices that now advertise or state that they are amalgam free and whilst it is great that more and more dentists are choosing to longer use amalgam are they really aware of all the issues associated with the mercury that it contains?

Gum disease is linked to chronic and life-threatening systemic conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, dementia and even cancer. By treating gum disease and addressing its root causes you can stop gum disease from killing you.
Your gums and the bone around the teeth and the connective tissues are connected by direct pathways to other areas of your body. The blood that supplies your gums circulates around your whole body. This means if you have gum disease your blood is carrying mouth bacteria, infection and inflammation everywhere else in your body.
And that’s why I and my team at Evolve Holistic Dentistry Brisbane always take gum disease seriously and so should you when you see signs of swollen, red or bleeding gums because chronic periodontal disease can turn into much more serious problems that can destroy your health, quality of life and shorten your lifespan.
www.holsiticdentistry.au
How To Prevent Gum Disease and Improve Your Health
The traditional advice for the prevention of gum disease is to floss, brush, use mouth rinse and see your dentist twice a year. Yes, I’m sure you’ve heard it before and it is good advice, however it is only a part of the equation and I often ask myself as gum disease is linked to your systemic health, is this advice enough?
I see patients who tell me they do all these things yet their gums still bleed and their gum health is worsening. Is it simply that they are really bad at cleaning their teeth, are they lying or is there something missing, something more they should be doing?
Bleeding Gums Don’t Ignore The Warning Signs
Bleeding gums when you brush and floss is a red alert warning sign that you have a bacterial disease and inflammation in your mouth. At this point, you should be thinking about why this is happening and making changes to stop this from continuing.
Gum disease has many causes and impacts your overall health and wellbeing - so what can you do about it?
Snoring, sleep apnoea, breathing disorders and what they have to do with a trip to the dentist. Sleep dentistry is a branch of dentistry where dentists help people with sleep problems such as snoring, sleep breathing disorders, sleep apnoea. TMJ dysfunction and teeth clenching and grinding can be an indication of sleep apnoea and ensuring the right diagnosis and treatment is offered is key
Dentists can help support with sleep apnoea and snoring with dental appliances and are often best placed to spot the warning signs of sleep apnoea as many of them show up in the mouth and teeth.

Is it a myth that fluoride reduces tooth decay? Fluoride and water fluoridation programs were supposed to be the answer to preventing tooth decay but yet dental cavities abound with at least 1 in 4 adults needing a dental filling because of decay.
How Much Fluoride Is Bad For You?
Conventionally trained dentists are not going to tell you this.
There is a lot of science behind fluoride and its impact on your teeth and health but is what you have been told both sides of the coin, is it the truth?

Dr Rachel Hall Holistic Dentist of Evolve Dental Holistic Dentistry Brisbane shares what holistic dentists are, what they do and why they do it.

The goal is to support a return to a healthy mouth and then to keep it that way. For many people, dental health is the missing link in their wellness journey and a holistic dentist can be your partner in your health and wellbeing.
