Dr. Elana interviews biological dentist, Dr. Leedia who is revolutionizing the way we think about oral health. Her approach focuses on overall wellness, long-term disease prevention, and empowerment through education. As a mother of two wonderful girls, Dr. Leedia recognizes the importance of women's dental health and early childhood dental education, making these areas a particular focus in her practice.

Currently, dental decay is the most common chronic disease in children worldwide, causing pain and trauma that is preventable. To combat this issue, Dr. Leedia created a course to teach parents the techniques she uses to reverse small cavities and bolster children's oral health.

In this episod, Dr. Leedia teaches us how and why kids are prone to cavities, what we can do as proactive parents to prevent and reverse dental cavities, and reviews essential information all parents should know about their kid’s teeth starting before the teeth even erupt!

Topics Discussed:

  • The anatomy of a child’s mouth and how a cavity can form

  • How early a child can have a cavity 

  • Why some kids are more susceptible to cavities

  • 3 Tips every mom needs to know for optimizing her child’s oral health and avoid cavities 

  • What foods to avoid (even “healthy foods”) that can contribute to cavities 

  • The importance of baby teeth

  • The importance of oral health before teeth come in

  • How dental health before age 2 can impact oral health in adult life

Show Notes:

Dr. Leedia is a biological dentist who is revolutionizing the way we think about oral health. Her approach focuses on overall wellness, long-term disease prevention, and empowerment through education. As a mother of two wonderful girls, Dr. Leedia recognizes the importance of women's dental health and early childhood dental education, making these areas a particular focus in her practice.

In Dr. Leedia's Beverly Hills office, she offers a range of integrative dental therapies, including integrative dental extractions, responsible cosmetic dentistry, biomimetic fillings, safe mercury removal and detox, ozone therapies, micronutrient testing, an airway centric approach to dental care and so much more. While these may seem like disparate treatments, they all address the root cause of the most prevalent dental issue: decay. Currently, dental decay is the most common chronic disease in children worldwide, causing pain and trauma that is preventable. To combat this issue, Dr. Leedia created a course to teach parents the techniques she uses to reverse small cavities and bolster children's oral health.

Dr. Leedia's dedication to dental health extends beyond children. She recognizes that over 65% of women suffer from dental disease concurrent with pregnancy, and that inflammation in the mouth is linked to premature labor, low birth weight, heart disease, and more. This realization has prompted her to put a spotlight on the importance of women's dental health and the impact that hormones have on the oral cavity. By educating and empowering women and fostering collaboration between the medical and dental worlds, Dr. Leedia is helping patients achieve optimal whole body health.

Her dedication to her patients is evident in everything she does. She practices biological dentistry with her brother, Dr. Rashad, and together they bring over 32 years of experience to their work. They are passionate about creating seismic shifts in the world of dental health, one patient at a time. Their approach honors each patient as an individual, recognizing the unique needs and concerns that each brings to their practice.
