The Dental Biohealth Concept for Improved Quality of Life
How Can Dentistry Significantly Impact Your Health? The Dental Biohealth Concept for Improved Quality of Life.
Over 500 years ago, the Portuguese and Spanish drew an imaginary line that divided the world into two halves: one side Portuguese, the other Spanish. On August 13, 1961, Berlin was divided into two parts by a wall.
These invisible lines divided the world and split Berlin.
But what does this have to do with dentistry? Well, I bring this up because it seems there is also an invisible line in medicine that separates the mouth from the rest of the body.
It appears as though there are “real doctors” and then there are dentists.
Here, for the benefit of patients, I want to emphasize the importance of dentistry for overall health and well-being. This imaginary line is the reason why many patients don’t receive the correct answers to their health issues within general medicine.
Let’s take a look at some data: the development of chronic diseases has drastically increased over the past 30 years. For example, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has risen by 11,000%, ADHD by 819%, and diabetes by 305%.
It’s important to know that these conditions are believed to be induced by systemic inflammation in the body. And when you consider that blood takes only about one minute to circulate through the body at rest, and just 20 seconds during physical exertion, it’s logical that silent inflammations in the jaw area can contribute to the development of these diseases.
Inflammatory messengers caused by infections around root canal-treated teeth, cysts, periodontitis, or metal-induced inflammations are quickly transported to all other regions of the body via our fast blood flow. These can cause issues far from their original site.
There is no magical boundary in our body that separates the mouth from the rest of the body. The upper and lower jaw are just as much part of our skeleton as any other bones. The bone marrow of the jawbones is also a part of our immune system, and I can assure you, there’s a lot happening in the mouth.
For example, it’s well established that periodontitis can exacerbate diabetes mellitus, contribute to high blood pressure during pregnancy, and even influence our cardiovascular system.
We constantly chew 24/7 on harmful metal alloys, suffer from silent inflammations caused by root canal-treated teeth, and experience misaligned jaws from missing teeth or poorly fitting dental prosthetics, leading to neck and headaches.
We must finally learn to look more closely and integrate dentistry into a holistic biological concept.
And that’s exactly what our treatment approach at Dentoss focuses on. That’s what makes us so unique.
In modern dentistry, we use 3D-DVT imaging systems to diagnose these inflammations in the jaw area.
It’s high time for doctors and dentists to sit together at the same table to achieve the best outcomes for your health and well-being.
That’s why we’re here.
