Welcome to Dentistry Disrupted with Dr. Craig D. Clayton. I am a wellness and biomimetic dentist, passionate change maker, social media thought leader, and educator on disrupting the way we approach oral healthcare. Come along with me as we journey towards a healthier, and more empowered you.
It wasn’t all that long ago that I worked in traditional dentistry and questioned my career choice, but then I found biomimetic dentistry, I found whole wellness, and I found my calling. Fast forward to now, I love what I do, I’ve grown a large social media following and built a successful dental practice on the foundation of disrupting traditional dentistry.
This is more than just a podcast about teeth, this is a podcast about whole wellness and out-of-the-box root cause solutions. I’ll have guest experts come join us for great discussions and more disruption of the healthcare system.
I am so excited to facilitate a place where we can learn together, definitely laugh together, and grow together.
Whether you are a dentist, a person who struggles with cavities, or a person who has perfect oral health, there will be something for you here. So hit that subscribe button and join me on this journey to feel empowered, refreshed, and excited to become the healthiest version of yourself!
25. The Science-Backed Healing Power of Red Light Therapy with Dr. Vivian Chen, Co-Founder of Lumebox
In this episode of Dentistry Disrupted, Dr. Craig Clayton (@restoration.dentistry) sits down with Dr. Vivian Chen (@plateful.health) — a UK-trained medical doctor turned integrative health expert and co-founder of Lumebox (https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=2088&discount=restorationdentistry), a red light therapy company dedicated to evidence-based healing.
After watching her father recover from debilitating pain by using red light therapy, Dr. Viv began digging into the science behind it. Uncovering how light can awaken the mitochondria (the “powerhouses” of our cells) to boost energy, healing, and resilience throughout the body.
Together, they explore:
✨ How red and near-infrared light target the mitochondria to promote healing at the cellular level and why this matters for health as you get older
✨ Why not all red light devices are created equal — and what makes Lumebox (https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=2088&discount=restorationdentistry) different
✨ Real results for pain, skin health, inflammation, and hair growth
✨ How to use red light safely and effectively at home
✨ The truth about “root cause” medicine and why real healing means more than just taking more supplements…
Dr. Viv shares how Lumebox was born from science, not hype — with rigorous testing, medical-grade quality, and transparent data on light dosage and safety.
If you’ve ever been curious about red light therapy and whether it’s worth the investment, this is the episode for you.

24. How Parents Are Driving the Airway Health Revolution with Dr. Shereen Lim
Too often, parents are told their child will “grow out of it.” Snoring? Normal. Grinding? Just a phase. Bedwetting? Don’t worry about it. But what if those symptoms are actually red flags—and you’ve been dismissed over and over?
In this episode of Dentistry Disrupted, Dr. Craig Clayton is joined by airway health pioneer Dr. Shereen Lim, author of Breathe, Sleep, Thrive (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0645553212?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzcraigcla-20&creativeASIN=0645553212&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.EQK311JBAYSM&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin), for a conversation that will resonate with every parent who’s ever felt unheard.
Dr. Lim shares how her own experience as a mom—and hearing stories from dismissed and desperate parents—drove her to write a book that connects the dots. Because parents don’t need another brush-off, they need tools, information, and the confidence to trust their gut and take action.
This episode is your permission slip to dig deeper. To question. To advocate.
We're at a tipping point. Just over a decade ago, Dr. Lim was almost blocked from speaking at a university conference because her airway-focused approach was seen as “outside the norm.” Today, her clinic is so full she’s had to close her books—and more providers are waking up to the importance of early intervention.
The movement is happening, and parents like you are leading the charge. 💪🏼
