5 Reasons Eczema Keeps Flaring — And Your Dentist Never Talks About Them

Could your child’s mouth be the real source of inflammation, eczema, sleep struggles, tummy pain, or low energy?

On today’s episode, Dr. Debbie Ozment, functional dentist and inflammation expert, reveals the hidden oral triggers driving chronic issues in kids and adults. Cavities, early gum disease, mouth breathing, and even “healthy” toothpaste can quietly inflame the entire body.

And here’s the part every eczema parent needs: Dr. Ozment gives us the exact, non-toxic oral care routine designed for extra-sensitive kiddos — and for us, too. These are gentle swaps that actually work and protect both the mouth and the skin microbiome.

If you’ve cleaned up diet and skin care but something still isn’t adding up, this episode connects a huge missing link, and it’s surprisingly simple to fix.
