<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Unlike traditional dentists, comprehensive dentists work in collaboration with their patients. Most patients of traditional dentists only go into the office on an "as-needed" basis. Moreover, when they are there, they typically will not receive any education on their condition. Their dentists do not tell them how their symptoms manifested, what other health problems they could indicate, or how to address the root causes of their condition.</p>
<p>In contrast, comprehensive dentists take a more integrative approach. They focus on treating a patient’s total health <a title="Read more about Oral-Systemic Health" href="https://www.ada.org/en/member-center/oral-health-topics/oral-systemic-health" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Comprehensive-Dentist">through treating their oral health</a>. By looking for the root cause of a patient’s symptoms, comprehensive dentists can often identify signs of broader health conditions. As such, they are more directly involved in their patients’ care — and provide them with the necessary education needed to do the same.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Choosing a Comprehensive Dentist</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Many people are hesitant to see a comprehensive dentist because they do not know if it will be covered under their insurance. However, comprehensive dental offices operate just as conventional dental offices do. Many practices are covered by various health insurance plans, though some cosmetic and restorative treatments may need to be paid for out-of-pocket. As insurance carriers consider dental coverage to be a <a title="Read more about Dental coverage in the Marketplace" href="https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/dental-coverage/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Comprehensive-Dentist">non-essential benefit</a>, it is always best for patients to confirm with their insurance company and healthcare provider before making any plans.</p>
<p>As several conditions have direct relationships with oral health, all members of a patient’s medical team should have contact with each other. This allows for a more thorough understanding of a patient’s total health. However, primary care providers rarely ask a patient about their oral health. With a patient’s permission, a comprehensive dentist can alert any relevant healthcare providers about any warning signs indicative of disease and work together to create the best treatment plan for their unique needs.</p>

This includes some basic advising on nutrition, as a patient’s diet <a title="Read more about Nutrition and Oral Health" href="https://www.ada.org/en/member-center/oral-health-topics/nutrition-and-oral-health" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Comprehensive-Dentist">directly affects their oral health</a>. Once food enters the mouth, it will inevitably affect tissue health. Conversely, oral health will affect a patient’s ability to eat. Healthy eating habits can keep both of these potential problems in check. Patients are well-advised to avoid natural and added sugars, processed starches, and low pH-level acids.</p>
<p>Practicing good oral hygiene is also a critical part of improving dental health. This means brushing teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing nightly, and rinsing with a fluoridated mouthwash. Patients should ensure that they are brushing correctly — taking the time to move the toothbrush in gentle, circular motions rather than over- or under-brushing. And, since nothing can replace a comprehensive dentist’s expertise, patients should go in for regular wellness visits at least twice a year. Some patients may need to go more frequently, depending on their needs.</p>

Though most of these bacteria are harmless, poor oral hygiene can allow them to flourish at dangerously high levels. At that point, it may cause various oral infections or enter the digestive and respiratory tracts. Consequently, any oral health issues should be treated as potential signs of underlying health problems. This is known as the oral health connection.</p>
<p>Cardiovascular conditions and diabetes are two of the most common systemic health issues associated with oral health. Diabetes and periodontal disease even exist bidirectionally with each other — meaning that treating (or aggravating) one condition will effectively do the same to the other. Furthermore, research shows that patients with periodontitis are <a title="Read more about " href="https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/gum-disease-and-heart-disease-the-common-thread" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Comprehensive-Dentist">two to three times more likely</a> to have a heart attack, stroke, or other serious cardiovascular events.

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Establishing a Healthy Mouth Baseline</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Seeing a comprehensive dentist is a great step to maintain one’s overall health. During the initial consultation, the dentist will show the patient a graph of the <a title="Read more about the healthy mouth baseline" href="https://nextlevelpractice.com/healthymouthbaselinedownload/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Comprehensive-Dentist">healthy mouth baseline</a>. This model identifies any oral health irregularities that the patient and comprehensive dental team will work together to eliminate. A regular visit to a comprehensive dentist is not just a "checkup" — it is a wellness visit.</p>
<p>Before the patient meets the dentist, they will first overview their concerns with the dental hygienist. Afterward, the hygienist will take the patient’s vitals, conduct an oral cancer screening, and ask about sleep and lifestyle habits. This will allow the doctor to create the best treatment plan for the patient’s unique and individual needs. From then on, they will work together to set realistic health goals and discuss how to achieve them.</p>

<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What causes periodontal disease?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">An excess buildup of plaque typically causes periodontal disease. Once hardened under the gum line, this plaque will turn into tartar and develop into gingivitis, a milder form of gum disease. If left untreated, it will eventually lead to periodontitis.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Am I at risk for periodontal disease?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Some lifestyle choices can put a person at risk for periodontal disease. These include excessive alcohol consumption, tobacco use, and poor nutrition. Age, bruxism (also known as teeth grinding), genetics, medications, and stress can also play a role. Everyone has a unique risk profile. We can help identify and work through yours.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Is periodontal disease linked to chronic inflammation?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Yes. Chronic gum inflammation is one of the leading causes of periodontal disease. This creates pockets between the gums and teeth, filling with plaque, tartar, and bacteria. These pockets become deeper over time, and the inflammation may spread to other parts of the body.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Why do comprehensive dentists care about patient education?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Without a basic understanding of what is affecting them and why, many patients feel helpless, intimidated, and left to the healthcare system’s whims. Moreover, they are unable to make informed decisions about their condition. Patient education can empower them to be active participants and make informed decisions about their care.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">How often should I get an oral cancer screening?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">As every patient has a unique and distinct risk profile, there is no conclusive, one-size-fits-all answer. University Dental Associates can help determine what would be most appropriate for you.</span></p>
