Imagine if you were told that there wasn't enough space on your hand for all five fingers, so one needed to go, what would you think about that course of therapy? This is exactly what modern orthodontics proposes for issues such as 'crowding of teeth,' an issue which is ever-increasing in developed nations with "Westernised" diet. Leading Australian holistic dentist Dr Ron Ehrlich, has in his decades of clinical practice, looked deeper, searching for reasons why dental issues are on the rise, despite widespread availability of dental health services. In today's podcast, Andrew and Ron explore the controversial issues in dentistry including how to promote healthy jaw size and function, the re-mineralisation of tooth enamel, and the real health issues surrounding mercury amalgams and root canal therapy.
