What Every Holistic Mama Should Know About Teeth, Tongues, and Trust | Courtland Nall
What if your teeth could tell the story of your overall health? In this episode, Registered Dental Hygienist and holistic health educator Courtland Nall (aka The Holistic Hygienist) walks us through the powerful connection between oral health, nutrition, and full-body wellness. We talk about the myths that linger in modern dental care, how to vet a truly biological dentist, and what to watch for in your children’s dental development—from fluoride to airway issues to breastfeeding misconceptions. Courtland also opens up about trusting her instincts as a mother, stepping away from clinical work to care for her family, and how healing is often more spiritual and emotional than we think. If you’ve ever felt unsure navigating dentistry as a holistic-minded parent, this episode will leave you empowered, informed, and more connected to the healing wisdom within your own body.
