How Your Mouth Affects Your Bones—The Truth About Biological Dentistry with Dr. Toni Engram
Is your mouth the missing link in your bone health journey?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Toni Engram, a biological dentist and functional health advocate, to explore how oral health, inflammation, gut microbiome, and toxic dental materials are all connected to bone health and chronic disease.
From mercury fillings to gum disease to the hidden dangers of fluoride, Dr. Engram shares how a functional, whole-body approach to dental care can radically shift your long-term health—especially if you’re dealing with osteoporosis or inflammation.
If you’ve never thought about how your dental history affects your bones… this episode is going to change that.
What You’ll Learn:
- What biological dentistry is and why it matters for whole-body health
- How gum disease and gut dysbiosis are linked to systemic inflammation and bone loss
- The truth about mercury fillings and how to remove them safely
- What the SMART protocol is and why it’s critical during amalgam removal
- Why fluoride may not be as safe or effective as we were taught
- How osteoporosis drugs can affect the jawbone and dental healing
- What to ask your dentist before your next cleaning or procedure
Functional tips for supporting both oral and bone health naturally
Action Steps:
- Find a SMART-certified dentist through IAOMT.org
- Avoid alcohol-based mouthwash and opt for natural oral care alternatives
- Try oil pulling with organic coconut oil to support gum health
- Focus on an anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense diet (vitamins A, D3, K2, magnesium)
- Reevaluate your current dental materials—especially old amalgam fillings
- Work with providers who see the mouth as part of the whole system, not separate from it

💬 Debi’s Takeaway:
Your dental health is deeply connected to your gut, your inflammation levels, and yes—your bones. It’s time we stop treating the mouth like it’s separate from the rest of the body.
When you treat your mouth with the same functional care as the rest of your body, you unlock another layer of healing.
