    He has some good points. Myofunctional therapy is great, but it’s getting the parents and kids doing it consistently is the issue. Diet has played an evolutionary role in the form and function of teeth. Some cultures have not just third molars, but fourth molars. I find myself referring more and more kids to pediatricians/sleep docs more and more for the “long faces mouth breathers”. I could preach diet to my patients, but if I can’t get them to do basic preventative homecare, how will I get them to change their diet? Maybe I’m just cyncial

    I think ancestral medicine is nothing more than a historical look at medicine. But it sounds cooler. Kinda like what sounds better “I’m going to workout” or “I’m going to CrossFit”. Jk, sort of

    I’m plenty cynical, I just like to be cynical about my cynicism.

    uh-oh
    13.5 mins in and he touts the benefits of fluoride application....


    Dr Lin makes a lot of money not being a dentist....

    but, wrong or right in terms of where the "blame" is for face/tooth size discrepancies, I am NOT in the business of finding the evolutionary cause. My job is to fix the problem. Ergo, i dont care if he can back up his claims with science (which he cant).

    and before you start on "how come you dont care that kids faces are growing as bad as he says they are".....its because I dont agree that science is showing diet causes kids braces today.

    I think parents cause more braces than diet.

    But i am interested in the biome and probiotic part.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    I have crooked teeth and I turned out ok (depending on who you ask). You want to solve the world's dental issues, figure out how to get all those braces patients to wear their retainer for more than 30 days after the braces come off.

    eat more sugar
    brush less
    pick different parents

    a combo of all of the above should certainly work.

    Caveman medicine. You know, written on the walls of caves and on mastadon hide.

    Always so closed minded.

    I'm starting to believe the things people say about you.
