A holistic approach to dentistry looks at keeping one aspect of your health well so that your other systems will benefit. Besides extreme issues, like disease, one or more missing teeth may impact what you eat and how well you can eat. Reducing the chance of, or fixing, these dental issues can keep you healthy throughout your days.
You most likely understand how eating well and getting exercise will keep you feeling good. Understanding how your teeth and gums play their role in your overall health can help you to keep on making good decisions.
