Hey Jimi,
You brush, you (try to remember to) floss… but do you give much more thought to the importance of your oral health?
Science is now showing that oral health problems are linked to everything from Alzheimer’s to cancer to heart disease, as the mouth is directly connected to the gut, brain and central nervous system.
What’s more… doctors are now realizing that standard oral health practices — from fluoride to fillings — may be causing more harm than good.
Because the mouth is a window to the rest of the body, oral health issues can serve as an early warning sign for all sorts of diseases and conditions, and for the same reason, figuring out and addressing what’s going on in your mouth can help prevent and even reverse disease.
Years ago, I had a client come to me with a severe skin outbreak on her abdomen that had all the signs and symptoms of fungal infection.
During the intake process, I discovered that she had an old dental crown covering a tooth that appeared to be weakening her nervous system.
My suggestion to her was to first get her tooth and crown checked out by a holistic dentist to see if indeed it was causing problems.
Sure enough, the crown was poorly placed and the tooth it capped had an active infection.
The wonderful holistic dentist cleaned up the infection, recrowned the tooth, and within a week my client’s abdomen was clear.
Oral health is the most overlooked and under recognized contributor of symptoms throughout the body.
So how do you care for your mouth in the best way possible?
