Dorte Bredgaard is a retired dentist from Denmark who now practices a unique blend of emotional, energetic, and intuitive approaches to dental health.

In this episode, you're going to learn why Dorte believes cavities and gum disease aren't caused solely by sugar or brushing habits but are deeply connected to emotions and life patterns. You'll understand how specific teeth correspond to areas of life and how emotional blocks can manifest as dental issues. Dorte shares how listening to your teeth can help you uncover unmet needs or unresolved feelings. She also discusses practical steps to address dental problems without fear-based decision-making. Lastly, you'll explore why living from desire, rather than duty, is key to overall and dental health.

Dorte Bredgaard is a modern-day pioneer in the dental world. After practicing as a conventionally-trained dentist in Denmark for 25 years, Dorte felt called to answer the questions that had been plaguing her through years of her practice. She has spent the past 15 years challenging and questioning the mainstream stories within dentistry. After learning about the energetic component of physical diseases, such as cavities and periodontal disease, Dorte developed her own map of consciousness as it relates to the mouth. In her study of the teeth, each one is related to an emotional process in one's life. She is now the author of four books on dental health as it relates to emotional health. Her book, "Teeth Don't Lie" gives us insight into the secret language of teeth and what our mouths are saying to us.
