Dirty Laundry, Clean Confessions

Keep Your Lint Traps & Mouths Clean, Folks

In this episode of Dirty Laundry, Clean Confessions, we drill into the inspiring journey of Dr. Kevin (AKA Kaptain Kev), Owner and Dentist for Reclaim Dentistry. 
Inspired by his mother, a dental hygienist, and his engineer father, Dr. Kevin grew up in a household where health and precision were key. Between his five siblings —three of them went to dental school. Dr. Kevin found his love for dentistry as it allowed him to help others in a very hands-on way!
Join us as we explore the challenges Dr. Kevin faced in opening his own practice, Reclaim Dentistry, just over two years ago. Unlike your typical dental practice, Dr. Kevin is on a mission to heal the whole body through holistic and biological dentistry. He’s passionate about addressing root causes and improving overall health, all while emphasizing airway dentistry and implant procedures.
We’re thrilled to have him on the show to debunk common misconceptions about oral and systemic health. So, get ready to brush up on your knowledge, and remember: keep your lint traps and your mouths clean, folks!
