206: Dental Exposures: Mercury, Fluoride + Whitening Agent w/ Dr. Kelly Blodgett - a podcast by Jennifer Fugo, CNS, MS, Skin Rash Expert
from 2021-08-05T08:00
Did you know that our eyes are an extension of the brain? It's true! And in many cases, products that are safe to use on the rest of the body aren't safe for use around the eyes.
My guest today is Dr. Kelly J. Blodgett, a recognized leader in holistic and integrative biological dentistry, a published researcher, author, and top clinician.
His educational background in psychology, traditional dentistry, naturopathic medical dentistry and integrative biological dental medicine provides him with a unique perspective as a healthcare provider.
He understands and respects the interconnectedness of oral health, systemic health and the feelings and emotions which accompany most people’s dental experience.
Dr. Blodgett’s professional vision is to reverse the negative stereotype associated with dentistry by sharing loving care in an environment free from judgement.
Join us as we talk about how different chemicals typically used in the mouth can affect our overall health.
Have you ever experienced side effects from a dental exposure? Tell me about it in the comments!

- How can mercury affect your health?
