We recognize that it’s essential for patients to feel like they are receiving more value for their money now than ever. One suggestion on how you can address this with oral care is through prioritizing a whole health dentist. 

A whole mouth dentist gives you more out of a dentist visit than just a cleaning or fixing troublesome symptoms. Whole health dentistry evaluates all aspects of your health to ensure that your general well-being is set up for success. 

We’ve listed below why whole health dentistry is a vital viewpoint for you and your loved ones. If you have any questions about this treatment method, feel free to call our Sacramento office today. We would be happy to help. 

Let’s Start with the Mouth

Think of your mouth as the front door to your body. Everything you eat, drink, and even the air you breathe comes through here first.

Underneath your teeth and gums, there’s a complex network of nerves and vessels that can link your mouth to vital organs in your body. If these vessels become troublesome, it can affect these organs and your body’s ability to counteract disease around your body. 

Where We Look First

Due to this, the mouth is often a great place to analyze how the rest of your body is reacting to the world around you. Sometimes, problems in your mouth can be the first sign that something is off in your body, such as gum inflammation. Choosing a dentist who checks for these concerns can help you understand your health better than you have before. 

Our dental office in the Arden, California area uses saliva tests to help us use this entry point to find other problematic areas around your body.  By taking care of your mouth properly, we can often prevent bigger health issues from forming—helping you be proactive about your health.

The Impacts of Disease

A whole health dentist is a personal coach who guides you through minimizing the impact of disease throughout the rest of your body. Some examples include the following listed below. 

  • Inflammation: If you have ongoing gum disease, for example, this concern can send bacteria into your bloodstream. A whole body dentist can check for these concerns to make sure the infection stays as contained as possible. 
  • Big Health Issues: Gum and tooth disease are scientifically connected to serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, lung problems, and even autoimmune disorders. A whole body dentist is aware of these concerns and lessens the risk of these problems.

Dr. Tex and our dental team accomplish this whole-body step through our in-depth initial exams. These initial exams technologically pinpoint each area of your body, helping us make decisions that will improve the livelihood of your entire smile long-term.

Improve Your Daily Life

It’s common knowledge that a well-managed body is tied to well-managed mental health. Maintaining overall health ensures that your mental well-being is supported by the optimal environment it needs to flourish. The benefits of a well-managed smile include the following:

  • Pain-Free Lifestyle: Live your life free from managing dental pain by taking care of dental discomfort as soon as it arises.
  • High Energy Levels: Whole-body health makes sure that all of your overall oral health needs are met, giving you more time to focus on the things that matter most.
  • Clearer Speech: A smile more in touch with your needs allows you to articulate and present yourself exceptionally well in personal and professional environments.
  • Confident Lifestyle: Trying to find something to boost your confidence? It may lie in something as simple as becoming seriously invested in your overall health.
