1.)How important is Oral health for our overall wellbeing?
Oral health is intricately linked to overall wellbeing, impacting not only the mouth but also systemic health. Issues like gum disease have associations with conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. As a holistic-minded dentist, recognizing this interconnectedness is vital in promoting comprehensive health.
2.) How should the perfect oral routine look like?
PREVENTION IS KEY! The perfect oral routine involves a multi-faceted approach. Start with oil pulling (for example coconut oil), tooth scraping and brushing with an electric tooth brush using a healthy toothpaste, ensuring all surfaces are cleaned. Integrate daily flossing to remove plaque between teeth. Regular dental check-ups, ideally every three - six months, allow for professional assessment and preventive care!
3.) What can you recommend for whiter teeth?
Achieving whiter teeth involves both lifestyle choices and treatments. Avoiding tobacco and minimizing consumption of staining foods and drinks is crucial. Professional teeth whitening treatments, either in-office or at-home, can provide the best results. Over-the-counter whitening products are a NO-GO because tooth whitening always should be monitored by a dentist and professional team.
4.) How often should we go to the dentist for a deep clean?
For a deep clean, i recommend to visit the dentist every three-six months depending on the individual profile of my patients. Professional dental prophylaxis involves thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, contributing to the prevention of gum disease and other oral health issues. Consistent attendance ensures early detection and intervention.
5.) What are the best practices for maintain oral hygiene at home?
Maintaining oral hygiene at home is foundational. Brush teeth twice daily using a healthy toothpaste, floss to reach areas between teeth, and oil pulling every morning for detox. Regularly replace your toothbrush, ideally every three to four months, to ensure effective cleaning.
6.) Can you provide recommendations for holistic oral health care routines?
Holistic oral care emphasizes natural approaches and considers the mind-body connection. Practices like oil pulling, using herbal toothpaste, and incorporating mindfulness techniques contribute to a more comprehensive approach to oral health. This extends beyond treating symptoms to promoting overall wellbeing.
7.) Are there any dietary habits that can improve oral health and our overall wellbeing?
Dietary habits play a significant role in oral health. A diet rich in calcium, vitamins, and antioxidants supports strong teeth and gums. Adequate hydration is equally important as it supports saliva production, aiding in the prevention of dental issues. As a holistic dentist, encouraging patients to view their diet as an integral part of their oral care is essential. love doing a big blood count to effectively support my patients to optimize their overall AND oral health.
We incorporated a drip spa with infusions like vitamin C, zinc or vitamin B in my practice with great outcomes. I just HIGHLY ENGAGE in preventive medicine!
