138 | The Hidden Link Between Oral Health and Chronic Disease with Dr. Yolanda Cintron

Dr. Yolanda Cintron is President of the International Center for Dental Excellence in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She has been a dentist for nearly 40 years and a biological dentist for nearly 30 years. Dr. Cintron is a nationally and internationally recognized leader in biological and holistic dentistry. Dr. Cintron is known for integrating advanced restorative, cosmetic, and implant dentistry with a comprehensive, whole-body approach to oral health. Patients travel from across the United States and around the world to seek her expertise in complex, health-focused dental care.

Dr. Yolanda Cintron's practice is centered on the identification and removal of oral toxic loads and the restoration and rebuilding of not only the oral cavity, but all systems connected to the mouth. Dr. Cintron’s clinical philosophy is grounded in the understanding that oral health and systemic health are inseparable, and that true healing requires addressing the body as an integrated whole. Through precision diagnostics, biocompatible materials, and evidence-based protocols, she also places strong emphasis on patient education in whole-body wellness—recognizing that when one part of the body is compromised, the entire system is affected.

On this podcast, I found out that Dr. Cintron is bold in her faith. She prays for her patients and gives the glory to God.
