    The Sweet Deception Compromising Our Nerves and Teeth

    Discover the surprising ways your diet could be affecting your nerves as Dr. Rick Jacoby joins us to unravel the connections between sugar consumption and nerve pathology. Drawing from the knowledge shared in his book "Sugar Crush," Dr. Jacoby offers insight into how high fructose corn syrup is not only wreaking havoc on our feet and dental health but also implicating conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and cardiac disease. It's a revelation that will make you reconsider the sweet temptations in your pantry and their long-term impact on your health.

    Venture beyond the toothbrush with us as we tackle the challenges endodontists face and question the efficacy of common dental practices. We break down the importance of understanding the root causes of issues like teeth grinding and the potential exacerbation of conditions such as sleep apnea by quick-fix solutions like nightguards. The discussion extends to the critical blood flow necessary for dental and overall health, scrutinizing ingredients in oral care products that may be silently contributing to health issues.

    In a world where stem cell therapies are on the brink of transforming medicine and dentistry, I reflect on my own journey from a procedure-focused dentist to one in pursuit of the underlying causes of health problems. We discuss the exciting potential of stem cells—from tooth pulp to Wharton's jelly—and the regulatory hurdles these treatments face. Wrapping up, Dr. Jacoby invites you to explore the future of dental health through alternative treatments and to keep an eye out for his upcoming book, "Unglued," promising to be an essential guide in nerve health maintenance.
