The Overlooked Key to Longevity: Your Oral Health
When people think about living a long, healthy life, they focus on exercise, nutrition, and mental well-being. But one crucial factor is often ignored—your oral health.
The biggest problem? Most people don’t realize how deeply oral health is connected to overall wellness and longevity. Your mouth isn’t just about teeth and gums—it’s the gateway to your entire body. Ignoring it can lead to serious health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer, and even cognitive decline.
At My Smile Health Centre in Burnaby, BC, we take a holistic approach to dentistry, ensuring that your oral care supports your total health and helps you live a longer, healthier and more vibrant life.
What is Holistic Dentistry?
Unlike conventional dentistry, which mainly focuses on treating symptoms, holistic dentistry looks at the whole-body connection. The health of your mouth impacts your overall well-being, and our approach ensures that your dental care supports your immune system, heart health, and even mental clarity.
At My Smile Health Centre, we focus on:
- How oral bacteria affects your overall health
- The connection between gum disease and heart disease
- Safe, non-toxic materials to protect your body
- The role of airway health in breathing, sleep and longevity
- Preventing chronic inflammation, which can accelerate aging
By treating the root cause of dental issues, we enhance your health from the inside out, giving you more than just a great smile—we help you live a longer, healthier life.
Why Oral Health is Essential for Longevity
If you’re wondering how your mouth affects your lifespan, consider these facts:
- Gum disease is linked to heart disease – The bacteria from inflamed gums can enter your bloodstream, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
- Oral infections weaken the immune system – Chronic gum inflammation can contribute to other inflammatory conditions, making you more vulnerable to illness.
- Toxic dental materials may contribute to long-term health problems – Mercury fillings and certain chemicals used in traditional dentistry can accumulate in the body.
- Jaw and airway health impact breathing, sleep and oxygen intake – A misaligned bite or obstructed airway can lead to sleep apnea, reducing oxygen levels and affecting brain and heart health.
A healthy mouth means a healthier body, and by improving your oral health, you’re investing in a longer and better-quality of life.
How Holistic Dentistry Works at My Smile Health Centre
At My Smile Health Centre in Burnaby, we take a comprehensive, natural approach to dental care, ensuring that every treatment supports your overall well-being. Here’s how we do it:
1. Whole-Body Health Oral Exam
We don’t just check for cavities—we assess gum and bone health, jaw function, airway health, and the impact of past dental work on your body.
2. Biocompatible, Non-Toxic Treatments
We believe in using safe, non-toxic materials that won’t harm your body. Our holistic approach includes:
- Mercury-free fillings – No toxic metals in your mouth.
- Fluoride-free options – Natural cavity prevention alternatives.
- Laser therapy for gum disease – Treats inflammation without surgery.
3. Preventative & Regenerative Care
Our focus is on preventing disease before it starts, using:
- Nutritional guidance for stronger teeth and gums
- Bite analysis to prevent tension, headaches, and airway issues
- Personalized treatment plans for long-term wellness
4. Optimizing Airway Health & Sleep Quality
Many people don’t realize that jaw alignment and oral structure affect sleep and oxygen levels. Chronic mouth breathing and poor oral habits can result in in poor airway function which can result in poor sleep quality, sleep apnea, fatigue, and long-term health problems. We evaluate airway health and breathing to ensure your body gets the oxygen it needs for longevity.
At My Smile Health Centre, we don’t just fix teeth—we support your overall health and longevity with every treatment.
