The Oral-Systemic Connection: How Dental Health Affects Your Overall Well-Being
Poor oral health, such as gum disease and untreated dental infections, can contribute to various systemic health conditions:
- Cardiovascular Disease: The bacteria from gum infections can travel through the bloodstream, leading to arterial plaque and increasing the risk of heart attacks. Chronic inflammation caused by gum disease is also linked to a higher incidence of heart diseases.
- Diabetes: Individuals with gum disease often have more difficulty controlling their blood sugar levels. Conversely, high blood sugar provides ideal conditions for infections to grow, including gum infections, creating a vicious cycle that can exacerbate diabetes symptoms.
- Respiratory Infections: Bacteria from infected teeth and swollen gums can be inhaled or spread to the lungs, potentially leading to respiratory infections, pneumonia, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Pregnancy Complications: Gum disease can increase the risk of premature birth and low birth weight. The bacteria from gum disease can enter the bloodstream and reach the fetus, potentially affecting development.
Inflammation and bacteria from oral infections can enter the bloodstream, triggering inflammation and affecting organs and systems throughout the body. Taking care of your dental health through regular oral hygiene practices, professional dental cleanings, and timely treatment of dental issues can help protect not only your teeth but also your overall health.
By prioritizing your dental well-being, you are investing in your long-term systemic health and enjoying the benefits of a healthy and vibrant life.
Non-Metal Dental Restorations Natural-Looking Results
At our Manhattan-based holistic dental practice, we understand the importance of using materials that are compatible with the body. That’s why we offer non-metal dental restorations.
Traditional dental materials like amalgam contain metals, which some individuals are sensitive to. Our non-metal restorations, including ceramic crowns, bridges, and composite resin fillings, are not only aesthetically pleasing but also biocompatible. They blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and are free from metals that could potentially cause sensitivities or allergic reactions.
By choosing non-metal restorations, you are opting for a solution that is in harmony with your body’s health.
Laser Treatment
Laser treatment is an integral part of our holistic dental care. In our Manhattan clinic, we use dental lasers for a variety of procedures including gum contouring, treating periodontal disease, and even tooth whitening.
Laser treatment is minimally invasive, highly precise, and often eliminates the need for sutures. It also significantly reduces bleeding, discomfort, and healing time compared to traditional methods. By using laser technology, we can provide dental care that not only focuses on the health of your teeth and gums but also minimizes the impact on the body as a whole.
Heal Faster with Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)
Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a groundbreaking technique in holistic dentistry that promotes faster healing after dental procedures. PRF is derived from your own blood and is rich in platelets and growth factors.
When applied to surgical sites, it stimulates the body’s natural healing process. This leads to faster tissue regeneration, reduced inflammation, and a lower risk of infection. At our Manhattan clinic, we use PRF in conjunction with various dental procedures, such as tooth extractions and implant placement, to ensure that your healing process is not only quick but also natural.
BPA-Free Composite Fillings
We are committed to using materials that prioritize your safety and overall health. That’s why we offer BPA-free composite fillings as an alternative to traditional fillings. BPA, a chemical found in some plastic products and dental materials, has raised concerns about potential health effects. Our BPA-free composite fillings not only eliminate these concerns but also provide aesthetic benefits.
These fillings can be color-matched to your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking smile while maintaining your well-being. Experience the benefits of our biocompatible and aesthetically pleasing BPA-free composite fillings for a healthy and beautiful smile.
