Giovanna Chiriby: Bruxismo, reflujo y problemas asociados por un dentista integrativo

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Giovanna Chiriby Rojas about how integrative dentistry completely changes the way we understand our bodies. From the relationship between the mouth and the brain to how it affects digestion, the immune system, and even development in children, we discover why we often treat symptoms without looking at the real cause. We discuss habits we've normalized (pacifiers, bottles, toothpastes…), signs we ignore (bleeding, bruxism…), and how small daily decisions can have a huge impact on our health. An episode that makes you question something fundamental: taking care of your mouth is taking care of your whole body.
