The dental profession is at the tipping point or the dawn of a new era in wellness dentistry. Contributing to this new dawn is the team of San Francisco dentists at www.saldana-dds-sf.com. Visit the website to know more.
Dental researchers like Dr. T. Sorsa in Finland and Dr. L. Golub in United States are now discovering that it is the body’s own immune system causing the breakdown through a process of uncontrolled inflammation. This new paradigm directly links dental disease to other inflammatory diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancers and many others. A significant change is occurring in wellness dentistry, according to dentists at http://www.dentalhealth.ca in Ontario, Canada. Dentists used to believe that both periodontal breakdown and tooth decay were caused by bacteria, so preventive efforts were focused on reducing oral bacteria. With this mindset, dental diseases were essentially considered in isolation of other systemic diseases.
Research from the areas of pathology, pharmaceuticals, advanced nutrition and psychology will increasingly converge with technology. San Francisco dentists will learn to shorten the gap between research and application both on an individual and community-wide basis. Wellness tools to offer the latest in education and support are emerging today.
Creative web sites such as www.dentalhealth.ca are now reaching out to a broader community of wellness interested people, regardless of location. Online information and blogging are cornerstones of this educational effort. San Francisco dentists’ long term relationships with people provide an ideal education and support environment for people seeking more responsibility for their own health and wellness.
Offering clients what they value more than what they need, however, is not new to dentistry. Tooth whitening, porcelain veneers and adult orthodontics are all cosmetic services designed to provide people with services they value but do not necessarily need. Many people feel that their dental health is fine when they are free of treatable dental disease. According to San Francisco dentists “Wellness dentistry goes beyond this disease-free need. It offers a preferred future based on ones values.” San Francisco dentists are moving towards a wellness based model of care and support.
