Oral Health & Whole-Body Wellness
Oral Health Affects Far More Than Your Teeth
Gum disease and chronic inflammation have been linked to cardiovascular issues, diabetes, and even cognitive decline. Oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream, influencing brain and systemic health. Healthy teeth also support proper nutrition, digestion, and emotional well-being.
Prevention is powerful:​
Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits help protect both oral and overall health.

Fluoride: Benefits & Considerations
​
Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities.
However, excessive exposure can contribute to dental fluorosis, possible thyroid effects, and other concerns still being researched. Patients who prefer low-fluoride or fluoride-free options can discuss alternatives with a holistic dentist.
Mercury in Dentistry
​
Dental amalgam fillings contain mercury and other metals. While widely considered safe, some individuals prefer mercury-free options due to sensitivity or environmental considerations. Modern alternatives include composite, ceramic, and resin materials.

3D Mouth Scan (Cone Beam CT)
​
A Cone Beam CT scan creates a detailed 3D view of your teeth, jaw, airway, and bone structure — revealing issues regular X-rays can miss, such as hidden infections or healing problems.
​
It uses far less radiation than a medical CT scan and helps ensure early detection and safer, more precise care.
