The Real Reason Your Teeth Are Yellow (And How to Fix It Naturally!)
In this episode, Dr. David Jockers explains why yellow teeth are rarely about your coffee or your brushing, and why he sees them as a metabolic signal tied to your salivary pH, which reflects your gut, liver, and metabolic health.
You will learn the six internal triggers dentists rarely address, including acid reflux, liver congestion, gut dysbiosis, mineral deficiencies, chronic dehydration, and inflammation, plus how whitening strips and bleach weaken your enamel, increase porosity, and set you up for rebound staining.
Dr. Jockers also shares his natural whitening protocol: baking soda and activated charcoal once a week, daily coconut oil pulling, and the foods that support salivary pH and remineralization, along with the foods to avoid, how to use apple cider vinegar and mineral-rich water, a seven-day challenge, and answers to common questions on sensitive teeth, genetics, coffee stains, and xylitol gum.
