Whole Body Health

Treating the Whole Person with Compassionate Care

According to the American Academy of for Oral Systemic Health, gum disease is linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pregnancy complications, Alzheimer’s, cancers, and other illnesses. At Van Dyke Distinctive Dentistry, we believe that the stability of your oral health promotes whole body health.

You may be wondering how your dental health has anything to do with your whole body health. Your body is a complex organic machine that requires all systems to work together harmoniously to maintain health. Your oral wellbeing isn’t separate from your overall wellbeing—it’s a vital part of your complete functionality. If you have disease in your mouth, that bacteria will travel right into your bloodstream and cause other systemic issues.

In addition, what’s going on in your mouth can indicate what’s going on in your body. Perhaps you have dry mouth, severe cavities, chronic bad breath, or other problems that can’t be fixed with good oral hygiene habits. Sometimes, these can be signs of illness in the body.

Dr. Van Dyke has been trained to determine how your dental problems may be related to your systemic health. Going to your regular checkups, and making appointments when you have dental trouble such as toothaches or periodontal disease, can protect your whole body health!

A healthy mouth means a healthy body!
