Our commitment to your health and wellness goes beyond your oral healthcare.
Did you know that your overall health is connected to your oral health? We ask our patients to consider this on a daily basis. Gingival inflammation, bacterial diversity and salivary flow can give us indication of systemic health or illness. Your mouth is a window into the rest of your body. Bleeding gums aren't always just an indication of bad brushing or flossing, inflammation in one part of the body causes inflammation in the whole body like turning on a light switch.
There are many other factors that affect your dental and overall health. Certain medications and or mouth breathing can cause dry mouth. Healthy watery saliva is hydrating and protective to the teeth. Losing this self-cleansing mechanism can cause catastrophic damage to the teeth. Diet affects so much of our health . Foods that come from the earth are best for your teeth (fruit, vegetables, protein ). Unhealthy gut bacteria caused by sugary and processed foods creates unhealthy oral bacteria . The sugar and acid created by processed foods directly affect the health of your teeth.
