Our holistic approach to oral healthcare focuses on your total well-being. This "big picture" method of Total Wellness begins with your smile and encompasses your overall health. Your oral-systemic connection is a strong link between your dental wellness and your total well-being. At Wellness Dental, we don't isolate your mouth from the rest of your body.
Health Starts in Your Mouth
Research shows that more serious medical problems can be amplified by active chronic gum disease. Unfortunately, oral infections can allow bacteria to spread directly into the bloodstream and vital organs. When the inside of your mouth looks healthy, you're more likely to be healthy overall. But in contrast, an unhealthy mouth is typically indicative of co-existing medical concerns. The Wellness Way considers how your mouth and body affect one another, managing conditions jointly rather than separating them as unrelated concerns.
How Does Oral Disease Affect Our Body?
Many people, including doctors, don't consider the oral health of their patients in light of other health factors. Both are often treated separately or in conjunction with each other. But at Wellness Dental, we know that if you don't treat aggressive gum disease while managing other medical conditions, your success with other treatments will likely be compromised.
Research continually shows that the better a person's oral health is managed, the more likely they will experience improved wellness throughout their body. Including respiratory systems, infertility, blood sugar management, and cardiovascular health.
Oral Health Improves Total Body Wellness
We are excited to introduce the Wellness Way, a new approach to oral healthcare that emphasizes the importance of a healthy smile for overall wellness. Our goal is to educate our patients on how oral health is interconnected with total body wellness and how poor oral health can lead to serious health problems down the road. We hope that by taking a proactive approach to oral healthcare, we can help our patients avoid these serious health complications and live happier, healthier lives.
You'll play a crucial role in this care opportunity, co-diagnosing and co-planning your healthcare needs as oral concerns arise.
Prevention and Early Disease Intervention
With The Wellness Way, prevention is key in oral and overall wellness. We focus on preventing disease before it starts and treating issues early. This approach allows us to not only improve our patient's oral health but also their overall health and well-being. In many situations, minor dental issues can be reversed before they lead to chronic dental disease or co-existing systemic side effects.
