Quotes:
"The problem with necrotic teeth, dead teeth, or periodontal pockets, we're just overlooking this low-grade chronic systemic infection that's causing the inflammation."
"Today, there's a lot of interesting technologies that can be utilized for better data and making better [healthier] decisions based on that."
"The [jaw development] success is unbelievable when you correct the foundation of why there are crowded teeth, to begin with."
"The goal is to not kill all the bacteria in the mouth nor is it to kill all the bacteria in the lower digestive tube either. We try to establish a healthy microbiome in the oral cavity."
