- The most important function of the teeth is to develop and stabilize the craniofacial structure-to simply hold your skull, so your brain can function properly.
The dental evaluation includes vertical and horizontal alignment of the head and neck. Asymmetrical facial development can be improved and stabilized by influencing teeth. Then brain and autonomic nervous system function will be improved since the body has reached the homeostasis, which is the most stable and balanced state of the body. Dr. Jiyoung Jung was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in child psychology and education. After moving to the United States with her family, Dr. Jung received a Bachelor of Arts with honors in biology at the University of Texas at Dallas, where she graduated on the Dean’s Honor List. At Baylor College of Dentistry, now known as the Texas A&M College of Dentistry. She was a member of the Odontological Honor Society, the Dean’s Honor List, the Dental Scholars’ program and a mentor for the Pre-Dental Enrichment Program. She also earned a certificate in education for health care professionals from the Texas A&M School of Graduate Studies. She graduated with a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree and was recognized with the Merritt-Parks Award. After receiving her degree, Dr. Jung continued her studies through the Advanced Education for General Dentistry (AEGD) Program. In the AEGD program, she gained experience in full-mouth rehabilitation, esthetic restoration, and implant surgery and restoration, as well as various periodontal surgeries and advanced root canal therapies like retreatment. Through the program, Dr. Jung provided dental service to medically compromised patients and special-needs patients. She has also taught third- and fourth-year clinical dental students as an adjunct assistant professor at the Texas A&M College of Dentistry.
Dr. Jung is a member of the American Dental Association, Texas Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry and Texas Academy of General Dentistry, the Dallas Academy of General Dentistry, and The American Academy for Oral and Systemic Health. Dr. Jung has also been chosen to receive the Best Dentist in D Magazine for 2021, 2022 and 2023.

Great talk and eye opening to general audience when most people do not see behind teeth. 👍👍
What an amazing TEDx talk by Jiyoung Jung! Her story of overcoming challenges as a first-generation immigrant and pursuing her dream of becoming a dentist is truly inspiring.
Jiyoung's talk opened my eyes to the importance of dental health beyond just brushing and flossing. She explained how our teeth, jaw alignment, and overall cranial function are closely connected, impacting everything from breathing to posture to mental well-being.
Her message about preserving our natural teeth and considering dental visits as part of holistic health care is so important. Jiyoung reminds us to prioritize our oral health for a lifetime of well-being.

Aww loved hearing about her journey from ESL student to dental school. So impressive and it shows how it's never too late to pursue your dreams!
What a fantastic, informative Tedx Talk! Starting over as a dentist at 40 is just so inspiring. What a wonderful story of hard work and perseverance.
The emphasis on holistic health and wellness is refreshing. It's crucial to consider the interconnectedness of the body because one part really does affect another. We're just one big organism made of intersecting parts.
치아에 대한 새로운 지경을 열어주는 강연이였습니다. 귀한 강연 감사드립니다.
I so appreciate the way she explained everything, makes perfect sense and yet it is not talked about enough. This makes me wonder how many people are out there struggling with untreated or even undiagnoised medical conditions that are actually stemming from their teeth! When your work and passion comes from your personal story and a 'why' that is close so to your heart, it clearly shows and makes a huge difference. Thank you for sharing this Dr. Jiyoung Jung!
I am honored to be a patient of Dr. Jung. She has a personal and professional mission to find solutions to problems instead of medications and/or “bandaids”. This presentation represents her passion and determination to help people in a positive way.
Great advices for anyone who is considering orthodontic treatments
her passion for helping patients achieve holistic health thru dentistry was infectious af.
The best there is!!
It's such a great lesson on the importance of dental care. I wholeheartedly agree that it's intricately connected to our overall health and serves as the gateway to maintaining bodily balance. Finding a dentist who comprehensively understands your health concerns and collaborates effectively with other healthcare providers can be challenging 👍
I could listen to her accent and warm energy all day! She came across as someone who genuinely cares about her patients wellbeing and not just making a profit.
I'm honestly shook at how passionate this dentist is about properly aligning the skull/cranial system first before even dealing with the teeth. Totally flipped my perception of dentistry on its head in the best way
It was a great lecture. I gained a new appreciation for my teeth. I look forward to your continued good advice. I once again salute your passion for whatever you do. You are amazing, and I am so proud of you!
This is amazing and eye opening! Thank you for much for sharing your knowledge and experience. Your patients are lucky to have a passionate and knowledgeable advocate for their overall health!
Great advice Doc. Well done. This treatment is life changing for our patients. Your testimony is inspiring
that's crazy how she traced back her chronic cough/asthma issues to her earlier orthodontic work and teeth extractions messing with her cranial system. just goes to show how interconnected the body really is.
Not gonna lie, some of this talk went over my head with all the anatomy talk. But her passion for her field and helping patients came through loud and clear
Who would have thought our teeth structure impacted our brain function! Thanks for this informative talk Jiyoung Jung.
What an enlightening talk! I learned so much from you and I love this message!
I love this notion of a dental visit being connected to the entire body. It makes sense because our body is one unit working together, not segregated parts that act independently. Thank you for the insightful information Dr. Jung!
Awesome! Want to know more for sure.
Amazing insight!! Never known that our teeth are intricately link to cranial system have allude to me till now. I am certain whenever I look at my teeth I will remember your teaching for sure! Thank you, Dr. Jung!!!!
As a fellow immigrant, I can relate to the challenges of learning a new language and culture. Your story is inspiring though! Love that I came across it.
So great!! I want to know more!
kinda wild how she traced a lot of modern health issues back to things like lack of breastfeeding and mouth breathing from underdeveloped jaws. Makes you think about all the small factors that build up.
Amazing!!
Amazing Jiyoung! Really powerful!
insightful concept!
Hearing all of this kind of makes me grateful that my parents didn't mess around making me get braces and all of that. Like my mouth was a little crowded when I was a kid but it pretty much sorted itself out as I grew.
I never thought about the cultural nuances of saying 'no' to food before. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I am totally mesmerised hearing you talk. Such great insight!
Great talk Dr. Jung! Very inspiring story about you and a testament to how hard work and dedication in your field add so much tangible value to the daily lives of people.
Totally agree.. so impressed Dr. Jung
Keep on going!!
Absolutely fantastic, Dr. Jung! 👏👏👏
Some of the medical terminology went over my head a bit. But her main point about taking a whole-body approach with dentistry alongside other professionals made sense.
Great opportunity to think different perspective of our teeth. Thank you Dr. Jeong.
I would like to share this video with my daughter who has TMJ.
I never really thought about my teeth as an autonomous "sensory organ" before as she described it. Just blew my mind to consider all the complex nerve feedback involved.
The explanation of how teeth impact posture and energy levels was crazy! I've been dealing with some back pain lately, and now I'm wondering if it could be related to my teeth 😂😂
Great talk!
I loved the humor she managed to get into a fairly serious topic - especially the big car small garage bit lol
Wow, I never thought teeth could impact the brain so much! Amazing talk thank you
Thought it was too simple a subject, but then again simple answers often figure out complex issues
her point about most of us having some level of "cranial distortion" hit hard - made me realize I probably have some misalignments going on that I'm not aware of. food for thought...
shoutout to her for highlighting the lack of breastfeeding and soft modern diets as potential root causes for underdeveloped jaws/airways. more awareness is needed!
This makes a lot of sense to me, especially considering the way your gums are like a direct link to your blood stream
So great🔥
Idk about y'all but this talk is convincing me to be way more militant about keeping all my teeth forever! No more wisdom teeth removals or anything for me if possible.
I felt that part about "crooked teeth = crooked face/body" lol. Made me look at my slightly misaligned teeth in a new light for sure. might have to get that checked out now...
Bravo!
I'm curious what specific treatments/appliances she uses to help develop jaws and optimize the cranial system? The talk made it sound really fascinating but was a bit light on those details.
this make s a lot of sense
Maybe it's just me, but some of the descriptions about cranial distortions from birth/skulls being "crooked" from the jaw issues set off my anxiety a bit lol. Glad there are ways to improve it though!
her credentials are crazy - actually got recognition from that prestigious dental academy, top dentist awards, runs a practice, all while being a mom too?!
This is interesting to think about because when you see someone with perfect teeth vs imperfect teeth you make all kinds of assumptions but maybe the process that the person with perfect teeth has gone through means they have a lot of other health issues!
Oh boy this was not something I wanted to hear. ~Books dentist appointment~
I'm pretty intrigued about being able to "grow bone" and develop the jaw without surgery at any age if done properly... where can I learn more about that??
well, cant say I didnt learn something today now
Had to laugh at the intro and yes, "broken english" should be recognized as it's own language!
I got braces as a kid and now I'm wondering if extracting a couple teeth was really necessary or if there was a way to develop my jaw more naturally instead?
Oh my gosh the bit about her coughing so hard she broke a rib is horrifying. That poor woman.
I heard that each tooth is connected to a particular organ as well so I wonder if it works the other way too like if your kidneys aren't great then the tooth that correlates to it might get diseased or something?
I disagree with the cultural practice of not saying 'yes' to food right away. It seems a bit unnecessary, but I appreciate learning about different customs.
Culture are different..
I'm skeptical about the alternative treatments that she mentioned. We should always go by scientific evidence rather than anecdotal experience.
The discussion about the role of religion in education was thought-provoking. It's important to consider diverse perspectives in the classroom but I really think the two should be separate.
😬😬😬😬
I found it surprising that a biology textbook would reference Adam and Eve. And by interesting I mean I'm dumbfounded. What kind of outdated cr*p is that?
