Fueling the Smile: How Protein, Detox & Supplementation Support Deep Dental Healing

29/05/2025

Most people think brushing and flossing are enough. But at DuoSmile, we know that real oral healing starts long before the toothbrush—and goes far beyond it.

In this powerful new episode of Healing Through Dentistry, Hanna and Eva reveal a foundational truth that most dental patients (and many practitioners) miss: your body can't heal without the right fuel. From protein intake to liver detox to essential supplements, this episode connects the dots between nutrition, preparation, and successful post-surgical recovery.

The Missing Link in Dental Recovery: Protein

You've likely heard about cutting sugar—but what about eating enough protein?

As Hanna and Eva explain, protein is not just for athletes. It's the core building block of tissue, bone, and immune strength—and the most overlooked nutrient in dental healing.

"We see patients coming in depleted. They're doing everything 'right', but they simply don't have the building blocks to regenerate."

At DuoSmile, we now recommend 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight during the healing process. And yes—this applies to everyone, especially before and after dental surgery.

Why Fat-Free Detox Changes Everything

What does your liver have to do with your smile? Everything.

Before surgery, Hanna and Eva both went through a 4-day fat-free detox. That means no olive oil, no avocado, no nuts, and no seeds. Why?

Because even healthy fats slow down the liver—and the liver is your body's main detox organ.

Removing heavy metals (like amalgam fillings) is only the start. These toxins can get stored in your tissues, brain, and bones. If the liver is overwhelmed, it can't clear them.

After just a few days of fat-free eating, both noticed:

✅ Reduced inflammation
✅ Brighter skin
✅ Emotional release
✅ More energy
✅ Better digestion

The Heavy Metal Connection

Many of our clients have removed amalgam fillings—but haven't detoxed what was left behind.

"Your fillings may be gone—but the mercury can still be stored in your body."

To support elimination, Hanna and Eva use the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie:

  • Wild blueberries

  • Cilantro

  • Spirulina

  • Atlantic dulse

  • Banana

  • Orange

It's delicious and powerful—and it's part of a bigger picture of what real healing looks like.

Beyond Diet: What Our Bone Healing Protocol Looks Like

Surgery is not just about what the dentist does—it's what the body can rebuild.

At DuoSmile, we prep our clients with a comprehensive Bone Healing Protocol, including:

🦷 Supplements:

  • Vitamin D3 + K2

  • Magnesium

  • Collagen

  • Vitamin C

  • Omega-3

  • Digestive enzymes

  • Essential amino acids

🥗 Nutrition:

  • Gluten-free, sugar-free, caffeine-free meals

  • Whole-food, anti-inflammatory dishes

  • Clean carbs and plant-based proteins

  • Hydration and electrolyte balance

"You can't heal a bone with sugar and caffeine. You need minerals, amino acids, and love."

Healing Is More Than Physical

The biggest surprise? Emotional shifts.

Many clients (and both Eva and Hanna) experience emotional clarity, confidence, and even creative breakthroughs after detoxing and replenishing.

"I wasn't just healing my mouth. I was waking up in a whole new way."
