<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Benefits of Total Health Dentistry</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Total health dentists vary from traditional dentists in that they work collaboratively with their patients. Typically, patients go in to see the dentist on an "as-needed" basis. They usually do not receive any basic education on their condition, how it manifested, what other health issues it may be indicative of, and how to address its root causes. Total health dentists deal with all of this and more./p>
<p>Total health dentists see the patient first, not just the condition. This is crucial since, <a title="Read more from the Mayo Clinic" href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/in-depth/dental/art-20047475#:~:text=Studies%20suggest%20that%20oral%20bacteria,oral%20health%20problems%20more%20severe." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Selecting-a-Total-Health-Dentist">according to Mayo Clinic</a>, dental health is frequently reflective of overall health. Since the mouth acts as an entryway into the digestive and respiratory tracts, it is also a natural breeding ground for bacteria. While most bacteria are harmless and kept at bay by the body’s natural defenses, poor oral hygiene practices may cause the bacteria to multiply at dangerously high levels, leading to several different oral infections.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Total Health Dentistry and Insurance</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Many patients hesitate to try out total health dentistry because of insurance concerns. Fortunately, however, many practices are covered by various health coverage plans. Just as with typical dentists, total health dental exams and cleanings may be covered without any out-of-pocket costs. Cosmetic and restorative treatments, however, may fall outside of insurance coverage.</p>
<p>While dental coverage is <a title="Read more about an essential health benefit" href="https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/dental-coverage/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Selecting-a-Total-Health-Dentist">considered an essential health benefit</a> for children, it is not considered essential for adults. In other words, all children with health insurance will have dental coverage, but adults may not. All insurance plans are different, so it is important for patients to confirm their coverage with their provider before making any plans.</p>

<p>To get the full benefits of their care, patients must shift their view of dentistry as something they seek on an "as-needed" basis and realize instead that it is a vital part of maintenance care.

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>As we have already established, the oral-systemic link necessitates that doctors treat patients’ health from a more integrative standpoint. To see the best results from total health dentistry, an individual’s healthcare providers must keep in communication with each other. It is rare for primary care providers to <a title="Read more about oral health" href="https://nam.edu/integration-of-oral-health-and-primary-care-communication-coordination-and-referral/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Selecting-a-Total-Health-Dentist">ask patients about their oral health</a>, making it all too easy for certain signs of disease to be overlooked.</p>
<p>Additionally, several conditions exist bidirectionally with oral health. In other words, treating one can also effectively treat the other. Thus, it is imperative that all healthcare providers have an integrative understanding of the patient’s conditions and adjust each treatment plan accordingly. We can work together with each patient’s medical team to formulate the best plan for their unique needs.</p>

<p>Though total health dentistry can help virtually anybody, some patients may benefit more than others. Typically, these involve those with chronic conditions. Just as severe gum disease (also known as periodontitis) may be correlated to various systemic conditions, several chronic diseases may lower the body’s resistance to infection. In either case, oral health conditions may be more easily aggravated and common.</p>
<p>According to multiple studies, there is a strong correlation <a title="Read more about periodontal disease and various heart conditions" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6755758/#sec1-4title" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-PageTracking">between periodontal disease and various heart conditions</a>, such as coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. Other systemic conditions correlated with oral health include, but are not limited to, diabetes, osteoporosis, and more. Often, the symptoms of periodontitis are not obvious until it has already progressed. Keeping regular appointments with a total health dentist can help ensure that patients are staying in good health.</p>

<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Many of the risk factors for periodontal disease are lifestyle-related, such as tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor nutrition. Other risk factors include age, genetics, medications, stress, and teeth grinding. Every patient has a unique risk profile. We can help you work through yours.</span></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">Usually, periodontitis starts with an excess buildup of plaque. Once this plaque has hardened under the gumline, it turns into tartar and develops into a mild form of gum disease known as gingivitis. When left untreated, this gum inflammation eventually leads to periodontitis.</span></p>

<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">How can I maintain my oral health at home?</p>
<p class="answers"><span>A.</span> Although nothing can replace the professional skills of a total health dentist, practicing good oral hygiene can be simple. Brush your teeth at least twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste. Floss once a day to remove dental plaque, and drink fluoridated water. If you use tobacco products, quit immediately. Remember to see a dentist regularly, and jot down any concerns you want to discuss.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What is the proper way to brush your teeth?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Over- or under-brushing can both have detrimental effects on your oral health. Proper tooth brushing technique involves holding the brush at a slight angle, aiming the bristles towards the convergence between teeth and gums. Use short, circular back-and-forth motions to gently brush the outside, inside, and chewing surfaces of your teeth, as well as the tongue.</span></p>

<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Why do complete health dentists focus on patient education?</span></p>

<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Without a basic understanding of the conditions that affect them, many patients may feel confused and intimidated within the healthcare system. They may feel like they are simply having treatments inflicted upon them rather than participating in their own recovery. Our goal is to empower our patients to make informed choices about their own care.</span></p>
