Dental implants are often thought of as a simple fix for missing teeth - but not all implants or techniques are created equal. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Taylor sits down with Green City Dental's Dr. Isabel Perez and Dr. Xavi Oliva, co-founder of CeraRoot to discuss how biological dentistry is rethinking the entire process - from the materials used to the way your body’s own healing potential is supported.

You’ll learn what makes zirconia implants different from traditional titanium ones, and why biocompatibility, infection control, and whole-body health all play a role in long-term success. The doctors explain how advanced tools like lasers, ozone therapy, and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) create a cleaner, safer foundation for healing, while diet, stress, and gut health can make or break your recovery.

Whether you’ve been told you need an implant or you’re just curious about holistic options, this conversation shines a light on what truly sets biological dentistry apart.

This week, Dr. T sits down with Jason Scoppa, DC, CSCP, CCSP, PAK, to talk about something that affects thousands of TMJ patients every day: the gap between dental treatment and body work. If you've ever wondered why your TMJ symptoms keep coming back despite treatment or why some patients get better while others don't, this conversation will give you answers.

Dr. Scoppa specializes in Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) chiropractic and has over 1000 hours of advanced training in TMJ, airway, and craniofacial dynamics. He explains why traditional chiropractic adjustments often fall short when it comes to treating TMJ issues, why the bite and cranium must be addressed together, and what happens when practitioners work in silos instead of collaborating.

Among other things, you'll learn why "just adjusting the jaw" can actually make things worse, how cranial strain patterns get locked in during childhood (and orthodontics), and why the order of treatment matters so much.

This is a candid conversation between two experts who've spent years refining their coordinated approach to complex cases, offering rare insight into what actually works - and why.

Dr. Scoppa is now seeing patients at O2dontics, as well as at his Bellevue clinic. Learn more about him and his approach at https://www.tmjspecialist.com.

Most parents don't realize that mouth breathing, restless sleep, or behavioral struggles in their children might all stem from the same underlying issue: airway dysfunction. These problems often get treated as separate concerns—medication for ADHD, pull-ups for bedwetting, antibiotics for recurring ear infections—when the root cause is how a child breathes.

In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Taylor talks with Kelly DeMiro, a lactation consultant who has headed clinical support and training at MRC, the company behind the Myobrace system. Kelly has spent over a decade helping providers understand how early breathing issues shape everything from facial development to sleep quality to behavior. The conversation covers why proper breathing matters so much for growing children, how tongue position drives jaw development, and why traditional orthodontics often fails to address the functional problems that cause teeth to crowd in the first place.

You'll learn what warning signs to watch for, why daytime exercises matter as much as nighttime wear, and when additional specialists need to be involved. Kelly shares real cases of children whose ADHD improved dramatically once their sleep issues were addressed, and kids who avoided tonsil surgery simply by learning to breathe properly.

The key insight: if you catch these issues early—ideally before age eight—you can guide natural, healthy development instead of forcing corrections later. Whether your child already shows signs of airway issues or you're trying to prevent problems down the road, this episode offers practical guidance on what to look for and what you can do about it.
