No dentist has ever asked what you had for breakfast. That omission — carried across every appointment, every X-ray, every treatment plan — sits at the centre of modern dental disease. Cavities, gum disease, crooked teeth, underdeveloped jaws: this book argues they are not the inevitable result of bacteria attacking tooth surfaces. They are a dietary problem that a surgical profession treats with procedures, because the training, the economics, and the professional bodies leave it no other option. Drawing on the work of Weston Price, Ralph Steinman, Hal Huggins, George Meinig, Sandra Kahn, and others whose findings were buried or punished, Drilling for Profit assembles the evidence into a single argument. The first four chapters establish the dietary cause across fourteen countries and four decades of laboratory research. The next five examine what the profession does in its place — fluoride, mercury amalgam, root canals, fee-for-service economics, and the procedures performed on children who cannot consent. The final four chapters give you the practical response: how to navigate your next appointment from a position of knowledge, the dietary protocol that addresses the cause rather than the symptoms, and the daily practices that support it. Every claim is referenced. Every source is verifiable. The critique is not aimed at individual dentists — most entered the profession wanting to help. It is aimed at the system that trained them. Your dentist won't ask about your diet. This book tells you why, and what to do about it.
