We are fighters. My wife is a warrior in nature, but where we are blunt in our fighting styles, she is graceful.

So you’re a happy tooth, with everything a tooth would need: calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and all the other necessary minerals. Saliva’s good, not too acidic and a good salivary flow. Bacterial populations are at optimum levels. No cracking, no scalloping, no coatings. No tooth decay, gum tissue very healthy. Restorations are all biocompatible, no low grade electric current resulting from incompatible materials. Just a nice normal tongue. Because it’s so sensitive to imbalances in the body, changes can be seen in the mouth long before they affect the rest of the body. So what is the connection of a healthy mouth to a healthy body?
