Sarah Tevis: Why Sleep, Breathing, and Oral Health Matter More Than You Think

Could your dentist be the first person to spot serious health problems? In this episode, Dr. Sarah Tevis explains how functional dentistry goes far beyond treating cavities and creating beautiful smiles.

Nic Espanet sits down with Dr. Sarah Tevis, owner of Dallas Functional Dentistry, to discuss how oral health is closely connected to overall wellness. Dr. Tevis shares her personal journey into functional dentistry and explains why breathing, sleep quality, nutrition, and inflammation all play an important role in long-term health.

The conversation explores how mouth breathing and sleep apnea affect both children and adults, why many health conditions can first show up in the mouth, and how dentists can work alongside physicians to help patients live healthier lives.

Dr. Tevis also discusses her own experience with heavy metal exposure, the importance of the oral microbiome, and why airway-focused orthodontics can make a lasting difference for children and adults alike.
