Calm the Body, Focus the Mind: Simple Tools for Helping Kids Regulate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the child who can’t sit still, melts down over the smallest thing, or seems completely checked out isn’t actually giving you a behavior problem to solve? In this episode of The Healthy Mouth Movement Podcast, I’m looking at what may be happening underneath the behavior: a nervous system that has been activated for too long with nowhere to release that energy. Whether you’re a parent trying to get through the after-school transition or a teacher managing a classroom full of dysregulated k

Read excerpt
September is Self-Care Awareness Month—but what if the reason you’re exhausted isn’t that you need a better routine?

I wake up multiple times, my mouth and throat are dry, I have drool on my pillow, I wake up with a headache, and I’m up going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Same person, same bed, same sleep routine—just different breathing. In this episode, I’m talking about why I mouth tape, what actually happens when you sleep with your mouth open, and why
Stronger, Healthier Teeth: Looking Beyond Fluoride for Cavity Prevention (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I spent more than 35 years in dentistry believing that fluoride was one of the most important tools we had for preventing cavities. But after working with mobile dentists and seeing children with significant tooth decay—even when they were brushing, getting fluoride treatments, and following the advice I had been taught—I started asking a different question: What else is going on in the mouth that allows cavities to develop? In this episode, I’m taking you through three options for stronger, hea
