If your dentist does not have a hygienist working with them, I would suggest you find one that does. Dentistry has strived to be at the forefront of preventive medicine. The dental hygienist is University trained in maintaining the soft and hard tissues in your mouth. Unfortunately, while your dentist’s job is to fix any dental problems, they generally do not have time to educate their patients on their role in maintaining their oral health every day.
No other part of the body can be examined easily, giving a clear picture of any potential health issues related to other parts of the body. The first sign of any deficiency or health concern will show symptoms in the mouth.
When your gums bleed, your body is under stress, and inflammation is likely throughout your body. If you have foul breath, it is a sign of gum disease that has been linked to high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, strokes, dementia and arthritis.
Crooked teeth and small jaws are related to a long-term breathing issue. Mouth breathing creates that bad breath and increases the risk of gum disease as the mouth gets very dry, especially when waking.
Tooth decay, acid erosion and cracked worn teeth are signs that the body is ailing and needs support.
At Dental Wellness we have a dental hygienist with high skill and gentle hands so you do not need to be apprehensive. Don’t be surprised if they take your blood pressure and blood oxygen levels as well as assess your sleep, airway and full assessment of your gums, cheeks, tongue and palate.
It is time for your holistic dentist and hygienist to take their rightful place in today’s preventive wellness healthcare model.
