The link between oral health and overall general health has become well-known and has found acceptance among many people in the last few years. For instance, gum disease has been found to be connected to several health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and dementia, etc. The bacteria in the mouth can grow and spread through the system and could be a reason for infection in other parts of the body. With the mouth and body connective health attracting so much attention, dentists worldwide are beginning to realize the importance of wellness dentistry and what it can offer for their patients and their practice.
Wellness Dentistry is a new approach that propagates the fact that the benefits of dentistry should extend to the whole body. It accepts that oral health and general health are interwoven and suggests the incorporation of wellness protocols and approaches into dental practices.
As wellness practitioners have the knowledge and tools necessary for the early identification of diseases, they are better positioned to help their patients achieve wellness and better health and educate and provide guidance for their patients. The outcome of incorporating wellness dentistry for patients in their lifestyle is an increased vigor, a better quality of life, and greater longevity.
Wellness Dentistry will become an essential aspect in the future of dentistry, dentists are able to deliver comprehensive care through early diagnosis of broader health conditions. The wellness dentists can create an increased awareness of other health conditions that could substantially impact the general health of a patient. To achieve this, they have to look beyond the welfare of the teeth.
