HRV, Root Canal & Radiance: When Data Confirms the Healing
What if your smartwatch knew something was wrong before your dentist did?
In Episode 54 of Healing Through Dentistry, Eva shares the story of a sporty, data-driven client who tracked her heart rate variability (HRV) — and discovered that her body was under stress even after root canal retreatment.
Her HRV dropped to 46.
Her energy was low.
Her recovery was poor.
Her intuition said the tooth was still a problem.
The data confirmed it.
When HRV Reveals Hidden Stress
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) reflects how well your body shifts between stress and recovery.
High HRV = strong recovery capacity
Low HRV = stress, inflammation, overload
Athletes use HRV to measure readiness and resilience
Chronic dental inflammation can suppress HRV
Root canal retreatment does not always eliminate hidden infection
Chronic inflammation does not always show up as pain.
It often shows up in the nervous system.
The Biological Decision
3D imaging revealed persistent periapical inflammation around the upper left first molar.
Instead of retreating again, the decision was made to:
Remove the chronically inflamed tooth
Prepare the body thoroughly before surgery
Support regeneration instead of just removing tissue
Preparation is central in biological dentistry.
The Pre-Surgery Protocol
For one month before and after surgery, the client followed:
Gluten-free diet
Sugar-free diet
Dairy-free diet
Seed oil-free nutrition
No caffeine
No alcohol
She also:
Measured vitamin D levels
Checked lipid markers
Added targeted micronutrient supplementation
Received mineral and vitamin infusions
Preparation directly influences healing quality.
Surgery & Regeneration
During surgery:
Infected tissue and periapical lesion were fully cleared
Antibiotics were used for antimicrobial and immunomodulatory support
Bone augmentation was performed using algae-based material
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) from her own blood enhanced regeneration
Biological dentistry focuses on:
Removing infection
Supporting immune regulation
Optimizing bone healing
Respecting nervous system balance
The Result: HRV Jumped Overnight
The night after surgery:
HRV increased from 46 to 80
Parasympathetic nervous system activated
Recovery capacity improved immediately
Three weeks later:
Visible radiance
Improved skin clarity
Reduced acne
Higher energy
Emotional lightness
The data validated the transformation.
Nervous System Connection
Chronic dental infections can:
Keep the body in sympathetic dominance
Maintain constant alertness
Prevent deep relaxation
Drain systemic energy
Removing inflammation allows:
Autonomic recalibration
Parasympathetic activation
Emotional release
Physiological regeneration
Emotional Symbolism of Teeth
The upper left first molar is connected symbolically with:
Family themes
Partnership
Emotional processing
Personal wishes
Healing is not only structural — it is:
Neurological
Emotional
Systemic
Energetic
What This Episode Teaches
How HRV can reveal hidden dental inflammation
Why retreating a root canal may not resolve systemic stress
How preparation determines surgical success
Why PRF improves bone regeneration
How quickly the nervous system responds once infection is cleared
Why radiance and skin changes can follow oral surgery
The importance of combining intuition with measurable data
Why Episode 54 Matters
We live in a world driven by numbers.
But true healing happens when:
Data confirms intuition
The source is removed
The nervous system feels safe again
The body is supported before and after intervention
Healing does not start with suppressing symptoms.
It starts with removing what silently drains your system.
