Publisher's Synopsis
What if everything you thought you knew about dental health was wrong?
You've been told to brush, floss, and trust your dentist. But behind the sterile smiles and fluoride treatments lies a deeper truth: the modern dental model isn't just outdated, it may be making us sicker.
In Open Wide: The Hidden History of Modern Dentistry, bestselling author of the Rooted series exposes the untold story of how dentistry became disconnected from the rest of medicine, and why your mouth holds the keys to your immune health, brain function, airway, and more.
