The One Exam You Want Your Dentist To Do, Substance P, TMJ, Jaw Pain - Dr Dwight Jennings

Dr Dwight Jennings is not your typical orthodontist. Most dentist and orthodontist treat your jaw and mouth from a very superficial lens, meaning they want your teeth to look straight cosmetically, using things like Invisalign or sleep guards that only help you sleep. However, Dr Jennings looks at the mouth in a very holistic manner. Not only does he fix your mouth so that it cosmetically looks nice, but he uses special retainers to help move your lower jaw forward. This helps move the jaw forward so that you're biting tip to tip. Most dentists leave you with a bit of an overbite or don't even correct the overbite.

Dr Jennings has also been studying Substance P for years and is probably the world's leading expert, which he goes into great detail in our full length podcast interview. Substance P can be the cause of overall inflammation in your body, i.e. leaky gut, allergies, learning issues, aggression/anger, autoimmune conditions, firbromylgia, seizures, and much more.

I discovered Dr Jennings, because I was a healthy individual, but at age 30 I started snoring. After 3 appts with him, my snoring stopped. I asked him, "Dr J, why don't I just buy a mouthpiece to sleep with that moves my jaw forward to stop snoring, instead of always wearing a mouthpiece 24/7?" Dr Jennings told me that you can buy a mouthpiece to help your sleep, but it'll never fix your Substance P issues, long term health issues, jaw pain and TMJ.

Dr Jennings is a master when it comes to solving jaw pain and TMJ. Check out the full interview for more "The Hacked Life" podcast.
