Dr. Jigar Gandhi practices dentistry with a different starting point than most: the mouth, in his view, is a window into the rest of the body, not a separate system to patch up in isolation. Dr. Jigar Gandhi joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to walk through that philosophy, known as biological dentistry, and where it departs from conventional dental care.
The conversation ranges from bite alignment and dental materials to the nervous system and inflammation, with Gandhi explaining, step by step, how he connects each piece back to a patient's overall health.
