The Cavity-Prone Panel
Brushing, flossing, still getting cavities? Cavities are a terrain problem as much as a hygiene problem, and terrain is measurable: vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, iron, B12, blood sugar, thyroid, PTH, inflammation. This panel says why it keeps happening.

FAQ
Answers to common questions about panels, results, and your plan.
Staci Whitman DMD, FMCP
I'm a board-certified dentist who kept filling the same cavities in the same patients and got tired of never asking why. That question sent me back for functional medicine training, and it rearranged how I practice. The mouth is the gut. Nearly everything that enters your body passes through it first, and the microbes living in there are in constant conversation with the rest of you. Your gums have influence over your heart, your brain, and your fertility. Your snoring has something to say about your mood, your hormones, and your inflammation. I work with patients and families who want the root cause instead of simply another filling or cleaning. No shame, no lectures, and no pretending we know more than we do. Health starts in the mouth, but it does not stop there!
