The Importance of Dental Hygiene in Overall Health
Optimal dental health is a collective endeavor, with the hygienist playing a pivotal role in mitigating the adverse effects of harmful bacteria.
The Threat of Oral Bacteria:
Bacteria, if left unchecked, can establish robust colonies protected beneath hard tartar layers, evading daily brushing and flossing. Within this sanctuary, they flourish, invading spaces between teeth and gums. The toxins they release wreak havoc on surrounding cells, disrupting cellular metabolism. This manifests as inflamed, irritated, and bleeding gums. Over time, this inflammation compromises the bones and ligaments anchoring the teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss.
Moreover, bacteria are not just local adversaries. They can infiltrate systemic pathways, affecting vital organs like the heart, kidneys, lungs, brain, and liver. There is emerging evidence linking oral health to heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and more. In fact, many heart surgeons correlate the oral health of their patients with their cardiac conditions.
Our Natural Hygiene Approach Stands Out:
Comprehensive Assessment:
Our initial step ensures you're in optimal health. This includes blood pressure monitoring, saliva testing for Vitamin C and pH balance, and a blood oxygen level check.
We microscopically examine a biofilm sample to determine the bacterial count, paying particular attention to spirochetes, known culprits in gum and periodontal diseases.
Advanced Cleaning Technology:
Utilizing fine powder and ozone water under pressure, we efficiently remove plaque, stains, and tartar both above and below the gum line. This technique is especially adept at dislodging spirochetes, known to evade regular brushing.
Our method is a marked improvement over traditional deep scaling, which could introduce bacteria into the bloodstream. The infusion of ozone – far more potent than chlorine in neutralizing viruses and bacteria – ensures pathogens are eradicated.
Holistic Treatment:
For those requesting a holistic dental cleaning, we only prescribe Chlorohexidine when they have an infection and first suggest the antibiotic Arestin, we also opt for the potent duo of ozone and oxygenated olive oil.
Prioritizing Patient Comfort:
Our procedures guarantee a more comfortable experience, minimizing the apprehension often associated with dental hygiene sessions.
Follow-up appointments are meticulous, with microscopic reviews ensuring both the hygienist and patient are satisfied with the outcome.
Natural Dentistry: A Holistic Approach to Oral Health:
Our techniques aim for more than just a "cleaning." We target the elimination of harmful bacteria, reducing the risk of chronic gum infections and potential systemic diseases. We achieve this without resorting to antibiotics, fluoride, or toxic chemicals. Instead, we employ ozone, iodine, and a unique home care procedure we fondly term "The Secret" - a method that has consistently proven effective.
