Cavities: A Conversation Your Dentist Probably Never Had With You

If you’ve ever wondered *why* cavities form or why some people get them no matter how well they brush… this episode is worth sitting down for.

In this YouTube video, I walk you through cavities from a whole-body perspective.
Not fear. Not shame. Just clarity.

We talk about:

• How teeth naturally remineralize
• What your saliva says about your overall health
• The role of pH and minerals
• Why stress and the nervous system matter more than you think
• Simple ways to support your enamel every day

Your teeth aren’t helpless.

They’re responsive, dynamic, and deeply connected to the rest of your body.

Maybe today’s step is simply getting curious about what your body has been trying to tell you. 🦷💛

Welcome back to The Root of the Matter. I’m Dr. Rachaele Carver, and today we’re taking a real, honest look at cavities, what they mean, how they form, and h...

✨ New Episode is Live: Cavities, A Whole-Body Conversation ✨
At the root of it all, cavities are not just about sugar or brushing.

They are little messages from the body.

Signals that the minerals, the saliva, the pH, or even the nervous system need a bit more support.

In this new episode, I’m breaking down cavities in a way I wish every patient had learned sooner. Gentle, clear, and full of compassion for the body you are living in.

We talk about:

• How teeth actually remineralize
• Why acidity matters more than you think
• What your saliva is trying to tell you
• And the small daily rhythms that help your mouth and whole system feel safe enough to heal

Your body is not broken. It is communicating.
When we learn to listen, everything shifts.

Maybe today’s step is simply noticing what your mouth has been whispering. 💛🦷🌿

In this episode of The Root of the Matter, Dr. Rachaele Carver sits down with regenerative medicine expert Dr. Jeff Gross, founder of ReCELLebrate, to explore how stem cells and exosomes are transforming the way we approach healing.

You’ll learn how these natural cellular messengers help the body repair itself from within, supporting joint and spine recovery, TMJ balance, oral healing, and even slowing the aging process.

Dr. Carver and Dr. Gross unpack:

✨ The difference between stem cells and exosomes (and why both matter)
✨ How regenerative medicine supports bone, tissue, and nerve repair
✨ What PRF, ozone, and blood flow mean for faster healing in dentistry
✨ Ways to boost your own stem cells naturally — fasting, sauna, movement, and rest
✨ How inflammation, hormones, and stress influence your body’s ability to heal

This conversation bridges science and soul, helping you understand that healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken, but restoring communication between your cells.

If you’ve ever been curious about stem cell therapy, exosome treatments, regenerative dentistry, or holistic anti-aging, this episode is your deep dive into what’s possible when we let the body remember how to repair itself.

I want you to know that every tooth is on a specific energy meridian, and several of those meridians run right through the breasts. That means if you’ve had a root canal or infection in certain teeth, like your upper molars or premolars, it could be impacting your breast tissue without you even realizing it.

Based on Dr. Jerry Tennant’s research, a root canal can shut down energy flow in a meridian by up to 60%. And when that happens, your immune system might not have the energy it needs to identify and clear toxins in that area.

This isn’t about fear, it’s about awareness. Let’s start looking at the whole body together.

Your oral health isn’t just about your teeth it’s deeply connected to your hormones, your immune system, and even your risk of diseases like breast cancer.

Carver breaks down how:

🦠 Oral bacteria like P. gingivalis can travel through the blood and lymph, triggering inflammation in breast tissue.

Sometimes weight gain is not a quick fix. It is not just calories in, calories out. When the body starts storing fat, it is often a sign of longer term imbalances. Early changes may drop a couple of pounds, but true, lasting results take time, patience, and a whole-body approach.

You are not behind. You are rebuilding!

Your body isn’t the enemy; it’s working to keep you safe. Support it with gentle detox practices, nourishment, and self-care!

💭 What if weight gain isn’t just about calories, but about toxins?

Our bodies are brilliantly protective. When toxins start circulating, your body says, “Let’s keep them safe, away from vital organs like the brain, liver, and heart.”

So where do they go?

👉 Into fat cells.

Sometimes, that extra weight is your body’s way of saying:

✨ “Help me detox.”
✨ “Open the drainage pathways.”
✨ “Let’s release what’s weighing us down physically and emotionally.”

Constipation, sluggish drainage, and toxin buildup are all signs it’s time to support your body’s natural cleansing systems.

🎧 In this episode, “Toxins, Triggers, and Trusting Your Body: A Whole-Person Detox Guide,” Dr. Rachaele Carver dives into this powerful topic with functional nutritionist Mackenzie and emotion code practitioner Katie.
