Go Natural Dentistry often hears from patients who have had their lives transformed, even saved, by holistic approaches and alternatives to conventional “drill and fill” dental procedures. Even doctors like “J.H.” are surprised by the impact traditional dental treatments have had on their systemic health and well-being. Even as a physician or someone in the medical field, you may be aware of the importance of “dental wellness” in Fort Lauderdale, FL at forward-thinking practices like Go Natural Dentistry. But it’s not until you have a close-call or discover the extent of damage caused by previous dental treatments elsewhere that mouth health and how it affects your general health is truly appreciated.
“J.H.” told us that, as a physician, he was “somewhat aware” of the potential effects of his previous dental procedures at traditional practices. What he wasn’t aware of, at least until he visited Dr. Yolanda Cintron, was that all of his root canal-treated teeth were infected. Only then did Dr. J.H. understand the implications – the level of toxicity that was coursing through a body that was already experiencing alarming, systemic symptoms.
Dr. Cintron recommends that patients, post-surgery, visit a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. During one of these routine visits, the supervising doctor detected a major cardiovascular problem which required emergency surgery. And the threats to this patient’s overall wellness caused by a lack of “dental wellness” transcend root canal-treated teeth that leave behind diseased tissues (or a “dead tooth”). Periodontal or gum disease is called a “silent killer” for good reason; the 85% of the population with some form of undetected or untreated gum disease is a ticking time bomb. Periodontal disease is associated with a whole host of problems, including permanent damage to the heart, lungs, and digestive system.
Dental DNA testing is at the heart of Dr. Cintron’s approach to resolving oral problems such as infections present in root canal-treated teeth and other tissues. A DNA report provides the doctor and patients with an accurate picture of the types of bacteria present in the mouth. Patients shouldn’t underestimate the effects of such bacteria on not only the mouth, but also the rest of the body, as tooth decay and gum disease have been found, time and time again, to affect other organs distant from the oral cavity. There is a correlation, clearly illustrated in the DNA reports, between poor heart function and high bacteria levels.
These reports provide a general description of each microbe, associated symptoms of infection, and current treatment recommendations. So, they’re an invaluable tool when it comes to resolving oral conditions and restoring the dental wellness that is inextricably linked to whole-body wellness.
