Monica and Donald Bailey run Epic Dental, a company built around xylitol as an alternative approach to oral care, and they joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to make their case for it directly.
The conversation moves through their view of what actually causes cavities, their skepticism about fluoride, and the everyday habits – from flossing to pairing acidic foods with meals – they believe make the biggest difference in dental health.
About Monica & Donald Bailey
Monica and Donald Bailey are the husband-and-wife team behind Epic Dental, a company focused on xylitol gum, mints, and other products positioned as alternatives to conventional dental care advice. Their business is built on the idea that individual risk factors, not blanket rules, should guide how people protect their teeth.
Through Epic Dental, the Baileys have positioned themselves as advocates for prevention-focused oral care, arguing that the traditional dental industry is often structured around treating problems rather than stopping them before they start.
