Nurturing Your Smile Through Health & Wellness
Your oral health is not just determined by your teeth or whether you have a proper dental hygiene routine. Your oral health is a big component of your overall health but at the same time, your overall health can impact your oral health so it is important to follow healthy habits and take care of your whole body.
At the office of Dr. David Yasuda, we provide comprehensive dental care that extends beyond traditional dental services to improve your health and well-being. We have created a family-friendly environment that prioritizes comfort to give you a space for optimal results in all aspects of life. Call our dental team today to see how we can help your health.
The Connection Between Oral Health and Overall Wellness
General health is linked to your oral health, meaning that poor oral health habits can harm your whole body. Gum disease can cause heart problems, and other oral health issues can lead to infections throughout your body. It can go in the opposite direction as well. Certain medications can hurt your oral health—same with the food that you eat.
The way you take care of your body and mouth can and will affect all aspects of your health. Give your dental team a full background on your health so they have all the information they need to guide you to a healthier state.
What We Offer for Health & Wellness
Personalized Wellness Plans
Everyone has different levels of health and wellness for both oral and overall health. We offer individualized wellness plans so you can be instructed based on your specific needs and not be put under the same umbrella as everyone else.
During your initial appointment or routine check-up, our dental team will evaluate your mouth to give you personalized tips for optimal results that will improve your quality of life.
Preventive Dentistry
One of the easiest ways to avoid harmful dental conditions is by getting preventative care. This can be done through proper dental hygiene habits such as:
- Regular check-ups. You should be scheduling routine dental visits every six months to ensure you are on the right track. The more you are evaluated by a dental professional, the more likely you are to catch any issues before they progress too far.
- Regular cleanings. You should be brushing your teeth twice daily, flossing, using mouthwash, and cleaning your tongue to maintain proper dental hygiene. During your dental visits, our team will clean your teeth and remove any built-up plaque.
- Preventive treatments. If we notice that a certain tooth seems susceptible to infection then we can do a sealant to fortify the tooth so that it is protected from additional bacteria.
We want to educate all of our patients on preventative care so that they can avoid unnecessary pain and protect their oral and whole-body health.
Incorporating Wellness into Your Dental Care
One way to ensure that both oral health and whole-body health are on the right track is through nutrition. We can help guide you as to what foods and drinks you should limit.
Another major concern is stress management. Stress can affect your oral health. If you experience a lot of stress then our dental team can offer strategies for limiting your stress and help you find ways to manage it so you can maintain a healthy smile and life.
