Episode #172: I've Had 25 Root Canals… Should I Be Worried? - Featuring Dr. Dominik Nischwitz

15 de octubre de 2026 · 1h 23m

I've spent a big part of my life focused on health, fitness, nutrition, and finding ways to get the most out of my body.

But one thing I never paid nearly enough attention to was my mouth.

I've had around 25 root canals and plenty of dental work over the years. And despite everything I've learned about health, I never really stopped to question how all of that might be affecting the rest of my body.

That's one of the reasons I've been looking forward to this conversation for almost eight months.

 

Dr. Dominik Nischwitz, better known as Dr. Dome, is a world-renowned biological dentist, author of It's All in Your Mouth, and founder of BioDentistry 3.0. He's dedicated his career to connecting dentistry with functional medicine, healing, and longevity.

 

What fascinated me most wasn't just his knowledge of dentistry. It was his approach to health and his willingness to question things most people simply accept. We discussed root canals, metal fillings, ceramic implants, and why he believes oral health plays a much bigger role in our overall health than most people realize.

But beyond dentistry, we connected over our personal struggles, learning to slow down, taking responsibility for our past, and putting our egos aside to help others.

And after everything we discussed, I started looking at my own health, especially my dental health, a little differently.

 

In This Episode, We Talk About:

■ Why Dr. Dome believes oral health is the missing link in longevity

■ How root canals and previous dental work may affect overall health

■ The potential problems with metal fillings and titanium implants

■ The connection between oral health, inflammation, and the gut microbiome

■ Why a healthy-looking smile doesn't always mean a healthy mouth

■ What Dr. Dome would do about my 25 root canals

■ Why he believes conventional dentistry needs to evolve

■ His personal struggles with depression, burnout, and overworking

■ Why taking responsibility is essential for personal growth

■ How unresolved emotional trauma can affect our behavior

■ The importance of sleep, recovery, and knowing when to slow down

■ Why helping others matters more than recognition, money, or status
