There are many kinds of practicing dentists. There are cosmetic dentists, biologic dentists,
general dentists, and dental specialists. Then there is our dental office. Our office, from
inception 32 years ago appropriately respected and considered all aspects of dental and somatic health.
We consider all the parts of the body and their relationships when we treat a patient or make recommendations. We like to say we make “360* consideration and care” for each person who wants exceptional care and thorough aftercare. If you seek exceptional attention,you should consider a consultation with Anthony J Adams DDS, PA. At Healthy Body Dental traditional practices meet new science and beauty and comfort come together. Above all, our primary concern is your total-well being. That is our mission.
In my next column, I will be discussing an area of your body. I will discuss the health of that area and how it relates to the health in your mouth. For example, I may discuss how diabetes can effect your mouth or how your mouth can effect your diabetes. I may discuss how arthritisis effected by the health, or lack of health, in your mouth and vice versa. I plan to discuss thyroid disease and how treating thyroid disease is nearly impossible in a body that is mercury toxic. You see holistic refers to the total of all the parts, not limited to a part.
Dentistry is becoming more and more accepted in the total health concept…as is should be. As a total health concept dentist, I do not practice medicine. Instead, I work with many health care professionals who share one commonality which is the total well being of the patient. I will write about the observations I’ve made over the 40 years of my dental career and how those observations impact an adult living today. I will write about the trends I see that should impact the quality of life you can expect. I will advise you on the questions you should ask when you seek a dentist. You may be surprised!
Did you know 400 commonly prescribed pharmaceutical prescriptions cause dry mouth? Did you know dry mouth is a leading cause of oral disease? Did you know there is an oral probiotic taken at bedtime that works all night out competes the pathogens in your mouth for the available nutrients and space? The daily cost is less than two cigarettes or one half
the cost of a candy bar – you decide.
I am practicing at a good time in history when good science and a more natural approaches to healthcare are emerging, especially at Healthy Body Dental. It is such a good day for patients who want oral and whole-body health.
