Primal is about rediscovering the basics of bygone eons when there was almost no need for dentistry because of course, the best dentistry is no dentistry. Our hunter gathering ancestors didn?t have to think about how to maintain a healthy mouth. Their lifestyles made it a natural, but our conveniences dictate counterbalances we need to know about and implement. You?re in control. It?s time for Primal Dentistry!

Foreword by John Laughlin, DDS
?Dr. Charles Mayo, a founder of the famed Mayo clinic, spoke presciently in 1918 to the Minnesota State Dental Association about ?The Relation of General Mouth Conditions to General Health? during which he urged dentistry to take their essential place in preventive medicine. One hundred years later we still struggle to move that understanding forward.
In Primal Dentistry, an educational masterpiece, Carol continues to enlighten readers about the interconnectivity between the mouth and all other organs. This book belongs in the hands of any person with teeth, natural or artificial. It?s unfortunate that those responsible for educating our health care professionals can?t envision the power of functional medicine and holistic dentistry?s role within it.
I am blown away by the scope of material presented in “Primal Dentistry”, which should benefit generations to come. Her general knowledge of biology, chemistry, physiology, anatomy and energy medicine explains how they all affect health and disease. This book goes far beyond the popular catch phrase ?Evidence based dentistry/medicine?. It represents an excellent combination of science and experience based dentistry/medicine.
I will continue to recommend Carol?s writings to all of my patients. The wealth of knowledge within “Mouth Matters” and “Primal Dentistry” will change people and hopefully, the professionals of health care. It should be required reading for all health care students and faculty, especially the profession of Dentistry. All state boards of Dentistry and Medicine would be well served to use “Primal Dentistry” as their guiding light.? Read the table of contents and get hooked!?

Reviews
The doctor who wrote the foreword of this book recommended it to me. I enjoyed reading it and I learned much from it. I’m a dental student, so this book made me rethink everything that I’m learning in school. I highly recommend it. If you care about optimizing your health systemically, or even just orally, then this is one great way to open up new doors toward that goal.

? ? ?How?s that working for you?? is the question to pose when attempting to solve problems in a way that has repeatedly failed in the past. Evidence of ?laws? such as the law of gravity is irrefutable. If you?re a skydiver and your parachute doesn?t open, there is no going back up. Gravity?will?take you. No science, no twist on the story, no pitch can make that parachute look successful. It doesn?t matter what we ?believe? about parachutes, what we ?know? about parachutes, who ?paid? for the parachute, who ?made? the parachute, who ?folded? it, where the pilot got his ?license,? how many years of experience the skydiver had or how good his life insurance is! Gravity wins!
