Hello WJR Listeners!

Did you hear Dr. Doug Thompson or Dr. Chelsea Watkins on 760 WJR? 

In recent years, the connection between oral health and total body health has gained significant attention and acceptance. Research shows that bacteria in the mouth can travel throughout the body, potentially causing infections and contributing to systemic conditions. For instance, the bacteria linked to gum disease have been associated with serious health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and dementia – amongst 57 other diseases.

At Integrative Oral Medicine, we practice wellness dentistry. Wellness dentistry is an approach that recognizes the oral-systemic connection and focuses on integrating wellness protocols into everyday dental practice. It emphasizes the role of dentists in improving their patients’ overall health by addressing oral health issues that may have far-reaching effects on the body. This proactive approach allows the Integrative Oral Medicine team to detect disease early, educate patients, and guide them toward better long-term health.

The future of dentistry is here! Reach out to our team today for more information!
