Mondays with Mark: New Hydroxyapatite Resource

Here’s what’s new this week…

A central database for all hydroxyapatite safety studies

I’m proud to announce a new resource for everyone who’s ever had a hard time trying to convince people that hydroxyapatite is legitimate. You can go to the link above for a list of all of the studies on the safety and efficacy of hydroxyapatite. Enormous thank you to Jacqueline Carcaramo, RDH, who is a functional dental care provider and member of this community, for the collaboration on this project. Let us know how you use it!

A functional approach goes viral

I shared a post to social media this week which has already gotten over one million views on Tik Tok. I am so excited that a functional approach to treating bad breath is resonating! If you’re here as a result of that post, welcome. Below I’ve linked to more details for each of the root causes for bad breath:
