Focus On Total Health

 

In case you have not heard the news regarding the oral-systemic link, the health of your mouth plays a vital role in your overall health. Weigh this against the fact that approximately 80% of adults in the Canada have some form of periodontal (gum) disease, and you may start to understand why at Morningside Dental Care we have intensified our focus on your total health and wellness. If we can help you achieve complete oral health, it will result in your better overall health. And if you desire to improve your overall health, we understand the best tools to get you there. We are dedicated to partnering with our patients to help them live longer healthier lives.

 

Physicians are just beginning to understand that inflammation in your body is one of the root causes of heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, poor pregnancy outcomes, infertility, inflammatory & autoimmune diseases, and perhaps even autism. We now understand that if you can reduce your systemic inflammation, you can reduce your risk for disease. And, if you already suffer from these illnesses, reducing your systemic inflammation can reduce the severity of your disease — and, in some cases, reverse the disease altogether.
