Dr Dominik Nischwitz is a German dentist based in Tübingen. He founded the Biodentistry Global Standard, a certification and training programme for what he calls biological dentistry 3.0, and he is among the most widely known international advocates of ceramic dental implants and of treating the mouth as an upstream factor in whole-body health.

And he walked towards a little-known longevity expert at a conference after the man had said something so radical it caused members of the audience to walk out.
