Holistic Dentistry in a General Setting
We’re still your general dentists - but we are looking beyond the tooth.
Your mouth is not separate from the rest of your body. It is a living, vascular environment that is constantly interacting with your immune system, your airway, your sleep, your nutrition, and your overall health.
Oral bacteria is linked to diabetes, heart disease, brain health, and your immune system.
Facial anatomy and growth patterns can affect how you eat, sleep, grow, and recover.
Each tooth has its own blood supply, connecting it to the body’s circulatory system. When oral tissues become inflamed or infected, pathogens can enter the bloodstream and travel throughout the body.
We are not replacing traditional dentistry, we are simply looking at the big picture. When something is inflamed, hurting, or abnormal, we ask:
- Why is this happening?
- What risk factors are contributing?
- Could there be a bigger picture?
- What can we do to support long-term health?
Services we can offer to look at the bigger picture:
- Oral bacteria laboratory testing (simplyPERIO spit test)
- 3D CBCT machine read by radiologist
- Digital Trios scans
- Hydroxyapatite varnishes and homecare products for a non-toxic approach to cleaning and strengthening teeth
- Early referrals to orthodontists that specialize in expanding airways and setting kids up for long-term success
