Marc Mortiboys: The Dental Shaman on Redefining Healing Through Dentistry, Consciousness, and Human Connection
Marc Mortiboys is the founder of The Dental Shaman Brand and Movement, combining four decades of experience in dentistry with holistic health, hypnotherapy, energy work, and ancient healing traditions. Through his unique approach, he bridges modern clinical dentistry with emotional well-being, helping people reconnect with their health in ways that extend far beyond the mouth. For many practitioners, dentistry begins and ends with oral health. For Marc Mortiboys, it became the gateway to something much deeper.
After years in traditional practice, Marc Mortiboys began recognizing patterns that conventional dentistry alone could not explain. Fear, unresolved trauma, stress, breathing, nutrition, emotional well-being, and even self-worth all seemed to manifest through the mouth. Rather than dismiss these connections, he followed them, creating what is now known as The Dental Shaman—a philosophy that blends evidence-based dentistry with holistic healing, human connection, and personal transformation.

Is Your Mouth the Key to Better Health? Brainz Podcast with Dr. Marc Mortiboys
Dr. Marc Mortiboys, dentist, founder of The Dental Shaman Movement, and advocate for holistic oral health, joins the Brainz Magazine podcast for a fascinating conversation on dentistry, healing, and the deeper connection between the mouth, body, and mind. In this episode, he shares how nearly 40 years in dentistry, a powerful near-death experience, and his work with indigenous and shamanic healing traditions shaped a very different way of looking at oral health. Moving beyond the traditional view of dentistry as simply fixing teeth, Marc explains why the mouth can reveal so much about stress, inflammation, nervous system health, and overall wellbeing. The conversation explores the link between oral health and wider physical health, including saliva, acidity, jaw tension, teeth grinding, gum health, and the growing awareness around the oral-systemic connection. Marc also discusses the mission behind The Dental Shaman Movement and why prevention, self-awareness, and a more natural approach to health are becoming increasingly important.
