In good health all the systems that help regulate our bodies maintain a balance, called homeostasis.
Understanding how various health issue effects body balance, homeostasis and therefore good health are explained.
Immune system
oral health impacts on whole-body health and our immune system in many ways, including
- the ability to breath optimally
- chew your food effectively & comfortably
- eat a nutrient dense diet
- sleep well
- eliminate chronic infections
- avoid exposure to toxins such as mercury and other metals
- Careful removal of mercury amalgam fillings
- Neural therapy
- injuries & illnesses that may have occurred many years ago can still have an affect on your health today. The regulatory system (autonomic nervous system) can be compromised
- meridians run through the body ,including the teeth. An undetected problem in a tooth can have far reaching effects throughout the body (see FDIV2-3.1-tooth-chart)
Chronic oral infections
Chronic oral infections in the gums, teeth and jaw bones can often go undetected and yet have a significant impact on our health. These have been shown to pre-dispose us to cardiovascular disease, diabetes osteoporosis, low birth weight in children and some cancers
Chronic Pain
Pain is not normal. Chronic tension headaches, neckaches and /or jawaches - clenching or grinding of teeth causes muscles at the back of the neck and shoulders to contract and can frustrate healing and cause on-going pain. There is no such thing as a normal headache.
