Hidden Dental Infections: The Missing Link Between Chronic Inflammation, Gut Issues & Eye Health
Thu Feb 05 2026
In this solo episode of Healing Through Dentistry, Eva shares a powerful real-life case from a recent initial consultation at DUO Smile. She walks listeners through the story of a health-conscious woman who had done “everything right”, supplements, lifestyle changes, naturopathy, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, yet continued to suffer from painful mouth blisters, digestive issues, eye problems, and chronic inflammation.
Through this case, Eva explains why unresolved dental infections such as root canal–treated teeth, cavitations, retained roots, and non-healed extraction sites can silently overload the immune system for decades. She also highlights the deep connections between teeth, meridians, organs, and the nervous system, and why true healing often begins only after the source of chronic inflammation is removed.
“If the source of infection stays in the body, you can optimize everything else, but healing will always be limited.”
This episode offers a clear, educational introduction to why people around the world are seeking biological dentistry when conventional medicine cannot provide answers.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Why people seek biological dentistry when conventional treatments failThe difference between optimizing health vs. searching for root causesHow root canal–treated teeth act as dead tissue and chronic infection sourcesWhat cavitations and non-healed extraction sites really areThe link between wisdom teeth areas, eye health, and digestionHow dental meridians connect teeth to organs like the gut, lungs, and heartWhy acne, gut issues, and eye problems can originate in the jawboneHow chlorhexidine and fluoride disrupt the oral microbiomeWhy more “healthy habits” don’t work if chronic infection remainsThe importance of intuition and patient-led healing decisions
Key Takeaways:Root canal–treated teeth can remain silent infection sources for 30+ yearsCavitations often form when the body lacks nutrients needed for bone healingChronic mouth inflammation may reflect systemic immune overloadAcne, digestive problems, and eye issues can be linked to dental meridiansChlorhexidine destroys both harmful and beneficial oral bacteriaCold plunges may worsen symptoms when chronic inflammation is presentRemoving dead tissue allows the body to rebalance naturallyHealing outcomes improve when patients lead their own health journey
Resources & Mentions:Biological dentistry and holistic dental diagnosticsRoot canal removal and cavitation surgery protocolsZirconia implants – metal-free and biocompatibleDental meridians (large intestine, lung, heart pathways)Non-toxic household and personal care productsAnti-inflammatory nutrition (gluten-free, dairy-free approach)Oral microbiome support and alkaline rinsesTraditional Chinese Medicine insightsWim Hof method and cold exposure (individualized approach)Documentary: Root Cause (available in DUO Smile library)
What’s Next?In the next episode, Eva and Hana dive into one of the most frequently asked questions at DUO Smile: toothpaste. Are they even necessary? Which ingredients damage the oral microbiome? And what should you avoid if you want real oral and systemic health?
