Why should I choose Whole Health Dentistry?

The Benefits of Whole Health Dentistry
Keep Your Body And Mouth Healthy
Whole health dentistry helps you get guidance on nutrition, oral care, and other factors that can affect both your oral health and your overall health. Along with yearly checkups from your physician and other necessary care, whole health dentistry boosts your energy so you can do the things you love.
Get The Personalized Guidance You Need
Every patient is different. Age, gender, pre-existing conditions, medication, and past health problems can all affect how you should care for your mouth and your body, too. With whole health dentistry, your dentist can keep all of this in mind, and provide the comprehensive care you need to stay healthy.
Save Time And Money
Taking control of your oral health and your whole-body health means that you’ll need fewer visits to the dentist and the doctor. Along with the obvious benefits of a healthy lifestyle, this means you’ll spend less time and money on medical and dental treatment.
Whole Health Dentistry: What To Expect
Initial Consultation
The first step is an oral exam and teeth cleaning with your dentist. They will examine your mouth, take x-rays, discuss your health and nutrition with you, and learn more about the unique challenges facing your oral and overall health.
Building Your Treatment Plan
After your appointment, your dentist will discuss any necessary dental procedures that you may need to restore your health, as well as tips and instructions on proper, at-home oral hygiene, and lifestyle changes.
Continued Treatment & Follow-Ups
We look forward to welcoming you back to complete any recommended treatment and to continue building a trusting relationship with you. At each visit, we’ll make sure you feel informed, supported, and comfortable every step of the way. And as part of your ongoing care, we’ll see you for routine cleanings and checkups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dentistry and nutrition are directly correlated as poor oral health has a negative impact on your ability to properly eat and digest your foods. The converse is also true as patients with poor nutrition may be at risk for tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. Researchers have also linked common oral health issues to diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and even fertility issues.
Your dentist can help improve your oral health as well as your digestion, nutrition, and overall wellbeing by identifying dietary contributors to negative health issues. These negative health issues can be identified by smaller signs and symptoms that are present in your mouth that you may deem insignificant. It is easy to think that a simple canker sore doesn’t have a great effect on your overall well being, but it can actually be a sign of a larger issue. That is why it is important to come in for checkups and preventive care regularly.
More than teeth, we believe in making everyday wellness a little easier for you. Eating enough fruits, vegetables, and protein is important, but we know that can feel overwhelming when life gets busy. That’s why we offer high-quality, plant-based vitamins, protein powders, and superfood supplements to help you stay nourished throughout your day without the stress.
