When I first met Dr. David Roze, he offered me a glass of Kangen water. Unlike seltzer, which is acidic, Kangen water is alkalized, supporting the body’s balance rather than disrupting it. This intentionality and philosophy, prevention through everyday choices, is woven into every part of their approach at ROZE BioHealth. Teeth is the entry point to overall health.
Why is the connection between the mouth and the gut so important to human health?
“Your mouth is not separate from your gut, it’s the very beginning of it,” Dr. Roze says. Every day, we swallow about a trillion oral bacteria, some harmless, others dangerous if the oral microbiome is off balance. Pathogens like Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum, both tied to gum disease, can survive the stomach and disrupt the gut, with the latter even found in colon tumours. But not all travellers are bad; saliva also delivers IgA antibodies that help regulate the immune system. The issue, Dr. Roze explained, is that we usually notice this mouth-gut link only when it fails. Even routine dental work matters: metals from crowns or fillings can disturb the microbiome, fueling dysbiosis that lets harmful bacteria spread inflammation far beyond the mouth.
Biodentistry is a patient-centered approach that sees the mouth as inseparable from the rest of the body, linking oral health to the gut, immunity, and even chronic disease. Dr. Roze and his team pioneer this integrative model, combining advanced technology with natural methods to heal more effectively and with less trauma.
An integrative oral medicine approach
Dubai is a hot spot for global fusion. Practicing in Dubai was a deliberate choice: unlike Europe, where regulations limited their practice, Dubai gave them the freedom to innovate. The philosophy is deeply personal. When their daughter faced cancer, they began to see healing as nonlinear and multidimensional, shaped by many medicines working together. At ROZE BioHealth, he merges Western evidence-based dentistry with Chinese and Indian traditions, treating acute infections with modern tools and chronic inflammation with ancient practices. “There isn’t one medicine,” he explained. “There are many medicines, and each has a place.”
How do women and men’s oral health compare?
For women, women’s oral health is shaped by hormonal changes in ways men don’t experience. Fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause can increase gum sensitivity, inflammation, and risk of periodontal disease. Rising oestrogen and progesterone levels, for example, can make gums more prone to swelling and bleeding, even with normal brushing. Pregnancy also raises the risk of cavities due to nausea, vomiting, and shifts in diet. The result is that women’s dental health requires closer attention during life stages, while men’s risks often come from behavioral habits.
Caring for your mouth means paying attention beyond brushing.
Dr. Roze encourages patients to take photos of their teeth and gums regularly. Here are simple ways steps to take:
- Gentle daily oral care. Use natural oral care products like the Dr Roze Biohealth toothpaste. It contains hydroxyapatite, which naturally repairs micro-damage in enamel and makes teeth more resistant to cavities. The natural ingredients also soothe the gums, support the oral microbiome, and reduce inflammation without harsh chemicals like SLS, parabens, or titanium dioxide.
- Clean without destroying. Skip aggressive chemical mouthwashes. Instead, try oil pulling with coconut oil or even ozonated coconut oil, which is even more effective at binding toxins and harmful bacteria while protecting the microbiome.
- Scrape your tongue. A copper tongue scraper removes harmful coating on the tongue and keeps the microbiome balanced.
- Look for hidden triggers. Visit a biologically trained dentist to check for silent inflammation: root-filled teeth, old metals, or jawbone lesions. Removing these stressors can make a huge difference for your immune system.
- Balance your fats. Avoid inflammatory seed oils like sunflower, palm, or canola oil, which are hidden in most processed foods. Choose healthy fats like butter, olive oil, avocado or coconut oil. And don’t forget: science shows that 97% of people have too little omega-3. A daily, high-quality omega-3 rich in polyphenols can rebalance inflammation and support healing on a cellular level.
“I believe the future of medicine is integrative medicine,” shares Dr. Roze. “And oral health is the missing piece. Protect your mouth, and your body will thank you.”
