Oral & Systemic Health
At Lifeworks Dental, we understand that your oral health is closely connected to your overall health through the biological systems that link your mouth to the rest of your body. This means that issues in one area can significantly affect the other. Our team is committed to helping our patients understand the oral-systemic relationship, enabling them to make better decisions for their oral and overall health. We strive to help you enjoy excellent health for a lifetime.
Understanding the Oral-Systemic Connection
Organizations such as the American Academy of Oral Systemic Health have been studying the emerging science suggesting that infections in the mouth can impact all body systems. Scientists and dental professionals have discovered correlations between gum disease and various health risks, including stroke, diabetes, certain cancers, and more. By practicing techniques that promote oral and systemic health, we can reduce these risk factors and provide holistic dentistry for our patients.
How We Address Oral & Systemic Health
When our team at Lifeworks Dental treats your mouth, we consider your overall health in the treatment planning process. This comprehensive approach helps us diagnose the root cause of any dental issues and ensure that our services benefit your long-term health. The mouth-body connection is particularly important when addressing conditions such as:
- Sleep Apnea: Obstructive sleep apnea can affect your cardiovascular health and overall well-being. Our treatments aim to improve your airway and enhance your sleep quality.
- Dental Infections: Untreated dental infections can lead to serious systemic health issues. We provide prompt and effective treatment to prevent the spread of infection.
- Oral Cancer: Regular screenings are crucial for early detection and treatment of oral cancer, which can significantly impact your overall health.
- TMJ Disorders: Temporomandibular joint disorders can cause pain and discomfort, affecting your quality of life. Our treatments aim to relieve symptoms and improve jaw function.
The Importance of Holistic Dental Care
By considering the oral-systemic connection, we provide dental care that supports your overall health. This approach is especially vital for conditions that can have far-reaching effects on your body. Our goal is to help you achieve optimal health through informed and comprehensive dental care.
