  • Nurturing Whole-Body Health Through Orthodontic Innovation
    May 19 2024

    Dr. Rachaele Carver is joined by Dr. Catherine Murphy, DDS, whose shift from traditional orthodontist to holistic health advocate has reshaped the way we think about dental care. In this episode, Dr. Murphy peels back the curtain on the patient-centered approach that harmonizes oral health with overall well-being. We promise you'll walk away with a new perspective on how early infant care, focusing on muscle development and addressing tethered oral tissues, can significantly influence lifelong health.

    Delving deeper, we share enlightening discussions on the implications of genetics and nutrition in prenatal care, stressing the crucial differences between folic acid and folate, and their roles in epigenetics. I recount a touching success story of treating my niece's baby for lip and tongue tie, highlighting the immediate benefits and long-term potential of craniofacial therapy. We also tackle the often-overlooked issue of sleep-disordered breathing in pregnant women and illustrate the profound impact of myofunctional therapy on children’s oral and mental health, with nods to experts like Dr. Lauren Ballinger and her work on airway-focused dental practices.

    Our conversation concludes with an insightful look into the connection between diet, dental health, and inflammation, urging listeners to sift through the noise and hone in on practices that truly foster holistic health. Dr. Murphy and I emphasize the commitment required from both healthcare providers and patients to navigate the wealth of information and make empowered decisions for better health outcomes. Join us as we leave you better informed and inspired to take control of your health journey, reminding you that the foundation of wellness starts with understanding and applying the principles of holistic orthodontic care.
