In this episode, our guest is Dr. Nammy Patel, DDA — a trailblazing holistic and functional dentist, author, and advocate for eco-conscious healthcare. Originally from Dharotha, India, and now based in San Francisco, Dr. Patel is the founder of Green Dentistry, a high-tech, spa-like dental practice designed to prioritize patient comfort and total body wellness. As a leader in the field, she is deeply committed to redefining dentistry by bridging the gap between oral health and overall health.
Dr. Patel shares her journey from childhood immigration to becoming one of the most innovative voices in holistic dentistry. We explore her unique approach to oral health, the science behind functional dentistry, and how oral conditions can be early warning signs for systemic diseases—including neurological and cardiovascular issues. The conversation also covers surprising misconceptions around mouthwash, the long-term effects of braces and retainers, and the essential role of proper breathing in oral and whole-body health.
