The Role of Oral Health in Developing and Reversing Cancer

The mouth and the rest of the body can influence each other in many different ways. Previously, we’ve explored the connection between our oral health and things like Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and autoimmune diseases.

In this expert interview, we continue to explore the mouth/body connection as we chat with Dr. Véronique Desaulniers, DC (aka “Dr. V”).

Dr. V is passionate about helping the world address and reverse cancer. She herself is a cancer conqueror, and she wrote the super interesting and helpful book, Heal Breast Cancer Naturally, which is available for purchase on Amazon.

Dr. V’s book walks through the 7 Essential Steps that she created. This step-by-step guide explains the process that she (and many of her patients) used to naturally beat cancer.

One of the essential steps involves taking a look at dentistry. How could our oral health and our dental restorations possibly be related to cancer?

Check out Dr. V’s expert interview video below to discover the answers.

We tackle some tough-love topics in this interview. As you watch it, remember that part of Dr. V’s message is that cancer is not something to fear; it’s a message from your body that some aspects of your life/lifestyle are out of balance and need to change.

With that said, let’s dive right in.


Show Notes:

  • 0:56 The connection between cancer and oral health.
  • 2:11 Dr. V’s backstory and eye-opening moment.
  • 3:32 OraWellness’ similar backstory.
  • 5:05 The role of oral health in addressing cancer.
  • 6:02 Two big ways that your oral health (and dental work) can affect your body.
  • 9:06 The ‘mental disconnect’ that many people have with their mouth (more exploration of the mouth/body connection).
  • 11:45 Checking for inflammatory markers: the relationship between oral health, systemic inflammation, and cancer.
  • 13:36 Does this apply to men as well as women? What about folks who have other types of cancer?
  • 14:13 Stories about some of Dr. V’s patients whose recovery started moving forward when they addressed their oral health issues.
  • 15:47 Can I just get any ol’ dentist to help? The importance of interviewing potential dentists before agreeing to work with them.
  • 17:35 Why are so many of us resistant to getting necessary (holistic) dental work done?
  • 19:11 How thermography can help us identify hidden issues.
  • 22:11 Early cancer detection tools: mammography vs. thermography.
  • 25:52 Some high-level steps that we can take right now to help up-regulate our immune system and support our health.
  • 27:31 More information on the importance of optimizing vitamin D levels.
  • 28:40 How our methylation capacity can affect our vitamin D levels.
  • 31:21 The emotional component: reframing our thoughts about cancer and listening to the message from our body so we can take action to help rebalance it.
  • 35:24 Food is foundational, but there are also 6 other pieces to the puzzle here, including an emotional component.
  • 36:10 Removing the fear: there’s hope.
  • 37:09 Tips for the person who has already undergone conventional cancer treatments.
  • 39:01 It’s not about just getting rid of the lump or bump; in order to get different results moving forward, you have to change.

    Please can you email me what she said to check our inflammatory level every 3 months. As I do not know how to spell them.

      Aloha Patricia,

      Thanks for stopping by!

      The inflammatory markers that Dr. V suggests checking every quarter are:

      CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
      ESR (Erythrocyte sedimentation rate)
      LDH (Lactate dehydrogenase)

      She also says that she likes to throw homocysteine into the mix to see if there’s a methylation issue.

      Also, here are two articles that you might find helpful regarding your root canal question:

      We hope that helps!

    Have you contacted David L Lewis Phd about the warning in his book concerning the ease with which dentists can transmit infectious organisms with their normal practices? It would be good to know what he feels about the present status of the cleanliness of dental offices and their equipment. He wrote “Science For Sale”. The first chapter warns about the transmission of germs in dental offices and how hard it is to prevent this. I know from personal experience that his premise is correct.

OraWellness is awesome. The information they share is not only well researched and unbiased it has been extremely helpful to me.

This is an invaluable service you provide. Thank you.

Glenn S from Victoria, Australia

On recent business trip with my daughter, I noticed we were both using OraWellness products for brushing.

I’ve been using your products for several years and have given them to all my children and friends who are having dental issues. I really have confidence in its ability to clean without the toxic ingredients of toothpaste.

I’m also so appreciative of the tooth saving information I’ve received from the OraWellness website. It has helped me to sort thru the often erroneous information about dental health that exists out there.

Lyn R from Utah

I have learned information from OraWellness that helps me stand up for what I believe in, and have been empowered by what you share to say no to fluoride in my life and at the dentist. They used to try to pressure me to do fluoride treatments; they no longer ask me anymore, as they know my stance.

Monica R from Tennessee

I used to have bleeding gums and sensitive teeth…

And now I’m elated to report shiny, white, plaque-free teeth using your natural HealThy Mouth Blend and simple Bass brush!

I appreciate your quality products and your company, particularly how you focus on educating about optimum oral care.

Nell A from Washington

Everyone that is interested in oral health should watch your videos, AND every dental professional should be required to watch them.

You did an OUTSTANDING job.

Dr Al Danenberg from South Carolina
