<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>While traditional dentists tend to treat isolated conditions, complete health dentists aim to treat patients in their entirety. They take a more comprehensive view of the patient, their pre-existing conditions, individual needs, unique risk factors, and more. As such, an annual visit to a complete health dentist is not just an "annual checkup." Rather, it is an annual wellness visit in which they take the patient’s total condition into account.</p>
<p>A patient’s mouth is a reflection of their overall health. Ideally, it should be free of bleeding gums, cavities, swelling, or any other irregularities. At the beginning of an annual wellness visit, a complete health 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-Healthy-Mouth-Baseline">healthy mouth baseline</a>. The hygienist will then delve deeper into their concerns before checking their vitals, conducting an oral cancer screening, and asking about sleep and lifestyle habits in preparation for the doctor.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Doctor-Patient Relationships in Complete Health Dentistry</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Traditional dentists tend to treat their patients as passive recipients of care. Complete health dentists, on the other hand, work collaboratively. This process involves some patient education from the doctor and more active participation from the patient.</p>
<p>Patients of complete health dentistry take an active role from the first consultation when they must identify any discrepancies between the healthy mouth baseline and their dental health. The complete health hygienist and doctor will use these concerns as a jumpoff point to fully assess the mouth and formulate a customized treatment plan for the patient’s unique needs.</p>
<p>Our team aims to help patients maintain their overall health by treating and preventing severe dental conditions. However, there may be occasions when we must refer our patients out to a specialist. Generally, this occurs <a title="Read more about when we see signs of systemic conditions" 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-Healthy-Mouth-Baseline">when we see signs of systemic conditions</a> that we cannot treat on our own.

The  mouth often acts as the entryway to the digestive and respiratory tracts, and it is also a natural breeding ground for bacteria. Most of these are harmless and can generally be kept at bay with the body’s natural defenses and proper oral hygiene maintenance. However, if not properly managed, this bacteria may multiply to dangerously high levels, causing various kinds of oral infections.</p>
<p>Medications that reduce saliva flow may also make patients more susceptible to oral infections. As  saliva neutralizes any acids caused by bacteria in the mouth, it offers a layer of protection from any disease-causing microbes. Such oral bacteria and inflammation are associated with periodontitis, which can play a role in certain diseases. Additionally, other systemic conditions may lower the body’s overall resistance to infection, including in the mouth.</p>

Though experts once believed that this link was due to periodontal bacteria, more recent research has suggested that inflammation may be the culprit. As such, treating periodontal inflammation has the potential to manage both periodontitis and other chronic inflammatory conditions.</p>
<p>The further along periodontitis has progressed, the harder it is to treat. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for periodontitis to <a title="Read more about a few obvious symptoms" href="https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/gingivitis-periodontal-disease#2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Healthy-Mouth-Baseline">produce only a few obvious symptoms</a> even in the later stages. This is just one of the reasons why it is crucial for patients to keep regular appointments with their complete health dentist.</p>
<p>Of course, periodontitis is easier for patients to spot once they are aware of the symptoms. These include changes in bite, deep pockets between teeth and gums,  gums that bleed during and after brushing teeth, loose or shifting teeth, persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth, receding gums, and red, swollen, or tender gums.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Seeing a complete health dentist at least once per year is a great step one can do to maintain their overall health. Fortunately, however, there are several things that can be done to <a title="Read more about a healthy mouth baseline" href="https://www.cdc.gov/oralhealth/basics/adult-oral-health/tips.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-PageTracking">work towards a healthy mouth baseline</a> at home. The most obvious tip is to practice good oral hygiene: Brushing teeth at least twice a day with a fluoridated toothpaste and flossing nightly will help remove dental plaque, as will drinking fluoridated water.</p>
<p>Quitting tobacco products and cutting down on alcohol can dramatically improve one’s oral health. Those with diabetes should also take extra care to maintain their condition, as oral health and diabetes have been proven to be bidirectionally linked (that is, they both directly affect the other). Eating crunchy fruits and vegetables and maintaining an overall healthy diet is also important.</p>

<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Heart disease and diabetes are two of the most common systemic conditions linked to oral health. However, several other conditions may be associated with periodontitis. These include but are not limited to pregnancy, pneumonia, and osteoporosis.</span></p>

<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Yes. These common risk factors depend on the specific conditions we are examining you for . However, some of the most common involve smoking and poor diet.</span></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 choices such as tobacco use or poor nutrition, for example. Others, however, are not as easy to control. These involve age, genetics, and stress. Some, such as medication schedule and teeth grinding, may be helped by a doctor.</span></p>

<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">In most cases, periodontitis starts with an excess buildup of plaque. This plaque may then harden under the gumline, turning into tartar. Eventually, this may develop into a milder form of gum disease called gingivitis. It is ongoing gum inflammation that eventually leads to periodontitis.</span></p>
