Whole-body or Holistic Dentistry really means treating the whole patient rather than just the patient's mouth or teeth. Whole-body dentists obtain a very thorough patient history and perform a complete dental examination to determine the best treatment possible. It involves blending the art and science of dentistry by combining innovative technology with a whole-body strategy for healthy living. This approach minimizes invasive procedures which so often occur in traditional dentistry. I believe in partnering with my patients in their overall health and wellness plan for life.
Nothing says "health" better than a vibrant smile. If you've got one, it's an asset that you want to protect. If yours is less than perfect, you may want to take advantage of the advances in cosmetic dentistry to improve the appearance of your teeth. Actually, it's often more than just appearance: the state of your mouth affects your overall health. It's now well known that periodontal disease can cause heart problems. a misaligned bite affects chewing and digestion, and temperomandibular (TMJ) dysfunction can indicate other musculoskeletal problems.
Our team at North Shore Smiles believes in the philosophy of treating the mouth with the whole body in mind. When a new dental patients comes into the office, we take the time to get to know the individual and to perform a thorough evaluation of the health of his or her mouth, addressing any areas of concern. We take the time to discuss how the patient's oral health is affecting their whole body and vice verse. We enjoy helping our patients discover the missing pieces to better health for life.
