Services: Nutritional Counseling

It has been said that “You are what you ate”. As the American diet has changed, so has our ability to remain healthy. Your oral and whole body health is impacted by what you eat and the state of your health can be particularly apparent in your mouth. In fact, there are six sub-clinical defects in blood studies that can manifest themselves in the mouth. They are:

• pH (Acid/Base) imbalance may contribute to dental decay
• Anaerobic Metabolism may be seen as chronic inflammation
• Free Calcium Excess may manifest as calcium deposits on teeth
• Chronic Inflammation such as glossitis (inflamed tongue) and inflamed gums
• Connective Tissue Breakdown manifest as periodontal disease
• Oxidative Stress indicates low antioxidant levels contributing to all of the above

Antioxidants are the first line of defense against free radicals which have been linked to cancer, cardiovascular disease and more. Knowing your antioxidant levels is as important as knowing your cholesterol levels, or your blood pressure. There are now over 30,000 studies linking free radical damage at the cellular level not only to premature aging, but also virtually everything that ails us including periodontal (gum) disease. Your antioxidant levels can now be measured non-invasively using the Bio Photonic Scanner in our office.
