At Green Dentistry, we follow a holistic approach to dental care and believe the mouth, mind, and body are all connected. We do not believe the mouth should be treated as a separate entity, because it is not. Changes and feelings that are happening in your body and mind can greatly affect the state of your oral health. We often discuss the challenges that can come from certain medical conditions, but what is the link to oral and mental health?

Too many times, problems are given a quick solution without finding the root of the problem, only for the same problem to come back again and again.

Over the past few years, the idea of using saliva to discover important information such as your heritage and genealogy as well as learning more about allergies and food sensitivities has really taken hold. We can now use these same testing concepts to learn more about your oral and overall health. I have recently introduced Oral Microbiome Testing in the office.
