Dr. Ben Javid joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to make the case that dentistry shouldn't be treated as separate from the rest of the body. Dr. Amin Ben Javid, who leads the practice Smile Body, walks through what he calls biological dentistry — an approach that looks at the mouth's connection to broader issues like inflammation and chronic symptoms.
The conversation covers a lot of ground, from the foods he flags as harmful to oral health, to how his clinic uses ozone and diagnostic imaging, to his broader message that patients should question their providers and stay informed rather than defer blindly.
About Dr. Ben Javid
Dr. Amin Ben Javid founded Smile Body around the concept of biological dentistry, a framework that treats oral health as connected to overall physical health rather than an isolated specialty. His practice emphasizes reducing what he refers to as toxic load from dental materials and infections.
Smile Body is structured, in his description, more like a collaborative health facility than a traditional dental office, incorporating diagnostics, sedation options for anxious patients, and a membership model as an alternative to standard dental insurance.
