Holistic Dental Hygiene
Understanding the Mouth-Body Connection
Your oral health significantly impacts your overall well-being. At Mint Dental Hygiene, a biological fuctional dental hygienist clinic, we understand the interplay between oral health and systemic health. Each treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs, focusing on the holistic connection between your mouth and body.
The Oral-Systemic Health Link
Oral health is crucial for nutrient flow, emotional expression, and overall wellness. Poor oral hygiene can lead to chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and arthritis due to inflammation, particularly from gum disease.
Health Conditions Linked to Oral Health
- Gum Disease and Diabetes: Periodontal disease can complicate blood sugar management in diabetics, while diabetes can exacerbate gum disease. - Dementia: Gum bacteria can travel to the brain, potentially increasing Alzheimer’s risk. - Cardiovascular Disease: Shared risk factors link CVD and gum disease, impacting heart health. - Rheumatoid Arthritis: Common bacteria in RA and gum disease suggest a biological link, with periodontal therapy improving RA symptoms. - Nutritional Impact: Oral issues can hinder healthy eating, affecting overall nutrition and increasing chronic disease risk. - Psychological Impact: Poor oral health can lead to self-esteem issues, affecting social interactions and confidence.
Biocompatible Products
We prioritize biocompatible products, using natural calcium carbonate in air powder polishers and filtered water in ultrasonic scalers.
