Description: Dr. Staci Whitman is changing the world, one tooth at a time with her holistic, whole-body approach to dentistry.  As a pediatric dentist, she’s dedicated to eliminating toxins and problematic practices from our children’s mouths, lifestyles, and diets. Unlike traditional dentistry, she likes to connect the dots beyond the tooth and examine the root cause of children’s dental issues, from their sleep patterns to brushing/flossing rituals, as well as diet.  We discuss the world of the mouth: from the microbiome, trace minerals, and fluoride concerns to how to get rid of pacifiers and snoring in the home – something I’m working on right now! You will learn about... Holistic dentistry versus traditional dentistry  Mouth health, oral microbiome, and vitamin deficiencies  Supporting oral health with trace minerals Airway and sleep health Getting rid of pacifiers!
