    In this unusual but highly relatable episode of the Mouth Off Dental Podcast, Elias sits down with Kris, Principal Physiotherapist at Progressive Rehab, to explore the surprising connection between jaw pain, muscle tension, headaches, clenching, grinding and the way the body responds to pain. Many people assume jaw discomfort always starts with the teeth — but sometimes the real issue is muscular, postural or stress-related. Kris explains why your teeth should not constantly be touching, why pain does not always mean damage, and how a team approach between dental and physiotherapy care can help patients better understand what is happening. This episode is for anyone waking up with a tight jaw, sore face, headaches, neck tension or ongoing TMJ symptoms and wondering where to start.

    14.What Your Medications Are Really Doing to Your Teeth

    In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jelena, a practicing dentist with a Master’s degree in Pharmacy and a strong background in immunology and infectious disease. Her rare dual qualification gives her a unique perspective at the crossroads of medicine, medication, and dentistry — where so many patient questions and frustrations begin. We explore: • How over 500 medications can affect your oral health• Why dry mouth (xerostomia) increases decay risk up to five times• The connection between diabetes and gum disease• How reflux silently erodes enamel• Why antibiotics don’t always fix tooth pain• The biological truth behind dental anxiety• How chronic pain and stress hormones affect local anaesthetic• The oral signs of autoimmune disease• The role saliva plays in protecting your teeth• What polypharmacy means as we age• Practical strategies to protect your mouth if you’re on long-term medication This episode reinforces a powerful message: dentistry isn’t just about teeth — it’s about the whole person. If you’ve ever thought:“Why did my teeth change after starting medication?”“Why am I suddenly getting decay in my 40s or 50s?”“Why do I feel harder to numb?”“Why do I have constant dry mouth?” This conversation is for you. As always, this podcast is about education, empowerment, and understanding — not blame.

    11.Fearing the Cure: "Why Dental Anxiety Runs Deeper Than We Think"

    What if the fear isn’t the dentist… but the cure itself? In this powerful and deeply human episode of The Mouth Off Dental Podcast, Elias sits down with Peter Khnana, registered psychologist and long-time mental health practitioner, to explore why so many people avoid dental care — even when they know it’s essential for their health. Together, they unpack the psychology behind dental anxiety, the body’s stress responses, and how past experiences, memory, and fear can quietly shape our behavior for decades. From the freeze response and limbic system reactions to the role of trust, safety, and communication inside the dental chair, this conversation goes far beyond drills and dentistry. You’ll learn: Why dental anxiety isn’t “irrational” — and how the brain is trying to protect us The difference between dental phobia and fearing the cure How early experiences, sensory triggers, and even smells can shape fear Why patients delay care until emergencies — and the cost of avoidance How dentists and clinics can create safer, calmer environments Practical strategies for patients to feel more in control during appointments Peter also shares powerful insights into exposure therapy, the role of breathing and mindfulness, and how small changes — like lighting, tone, and trust — can completely shift a patient’s experience. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt anxious in the dental chair, postponed treatment, or wondered why fear can feel stronger than logic. It’s also a must-listen for dental professionals wanting to better support their patients with empathy, understanding, and care. 🎧 Listen in and discover why fear loses its power when met with understanding, patience, and human connection.
