More today than ever before, many patients face healthy issues that are a mix of oral disease and disease in general. That is why in our practice we address our patient’s total health. We know gum disease and cavities affect cardiovascular disease, some cancers, obesity, diabetes, arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. Likewise, we know those diseases and medications affect gum disease and cavities. With that said, we think it makes perfect sense to treat our patients with a holistic approach to attain optimal health.

In fact, that’s the key to our practice because we take value in the fact that each patient is a unique divine creation with different needs and situations. to the best of our ability, we consider anything that leads to your health and success.

As a dental practitioner, my natural inclination is to treat disease as holistic and natural as possible. My interests have expanded to explore other “wellness” modalities that can impact the root cause of disease. While some have been around for thousands of years, others are more recent. I’m looking for what works because our overall health outlook is frightening. Therefore it is imperative that each of us be responsible and accountable to the very current trends regarding the human condition, many of which are not good.

Obesity is pandemic. It is the single greatest threat to human beings world wide and unfortunately, we are leading in the world! The real causes of obesity are known to the industries which profit, but not the common public. It is not primarily excessive caloric intake…
how about that? It is not lack of discipline…how about that? And it is not the fault of your deceased fat ancestor…how about that? Ask about my free community health seminars schedule to learn more.

We are not winning the battle against obesity, but we could. Cardiovascular disease is way to common. Cancer is everywhere. Our life expectancy is decreasing to the point that our grandchildren are not expected to live as long as ourselves. Diabetes is increasing 13.8% per year. The cost of diabetes on the current trend could bankrupt this country on its own in just a few years.

Compared to other countries, we do not experience as much life treating infectious disease. Instead, we suffer and die from uncontrolled inflammatory disease. As much as 70% of Americans experience periodontal disease, much of it silently and undiagnosed. It is known to worsen heart disease and diabetes. Similarly, arthritis, osteoporosis and some cancers are all implicated in inflammatory disease. Oral health is implicated in them all and so we must consider those disease when we see symptoms of the inflammatory disease process.

That is why health care providers must communicate and coordinate collectively on your behalf to be effective. It is more work, but I think it is right.

My wonderful staff and I are dedicated to educating and helping people before their well is dry. in the early 1980’s, insulin resistance was 10% in the adult population. Today is 80%. Insulin resistance increases as we are closer to a diagnosis of diabetes. My passion is defeating diabetes and its effect on health in general as well as in the mouth. Obesity leads to diabetes. Help me turn the trend around so our grandchildren can have long healthy lives.

My duty is to help you obtain optimum health. This applies to your dental health, too. It is just a matter of taking the first step.

I hope you know how divine and blessed you truly are.
