Riassunto

Does your mouth reveal your health secrets? When you sit in the dentist’s chair, you expect the exam to uncover issues in the mouth—and the mouth only. But your teeth and tissues that are exposed when you open wide may hold clues about your risk for heart disease, cancer, arthritis, reproductive issues, and much more—sometimes long before a physician might notice other warning signs. Your mouth is a window into your overall health—and your dentist should play an integral role in diagnosing, treating, and/or preventing health problems from your head to your toes. That’s the premise of Whole-Body Dentistry®, which represents a shift away from the traditional “mouth-only” focus on oral hygiene, fillings, and extractions. This comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide will enable you to understand the vital relationship between your mouth and your health so that you can make informed dental choices that support lifelong wellbeing. You’ll learn:·How your mouth “works,” and how it impacts other parts of the body·Which common dental treatments may be endangering your health·Which health problems can often be traced back to the mouth ·Which new tools, diagnostics, procedures, and protocols are available·How—and when—to advocate for your health in the dentist’s office·..and much more (including resources to help you find holistic dentists, products, and services)Valuable and eye-opening, Whole-Body Dentistry is a must-have resource for consumers and healthcare professionals alike.

Recensione:

"The author communicates the science and his methods in ways that are interesting and easy to understand...It's meant for readers who think critically about their health, for policymakers curious about the public health issues presented by the methods of many dental practitioners, and even for dentists themselves who may be unfamiliar with some of the biological dentistry concepts within. Above all, Breiner stresses the importance of informed patient consent and knowing that various treatment options exist."--Foreword Reviews "This essential guide will have us all scrambling for a holistic, forward-thinking dentist." -- U.S. Reviews "FAIM would hope that all dentists read this enlightening book and make changes in their practices as a result. The book sheds a new light on how we all should approach dental health and the consequences that result from the use of old dental practices." --- Foundation for Alternative and Integrative Medicine "Try a new approach to dentistry. Your mouth can reveal secrets about the health of your entire body. If you have health problems and have not found relief through traditional treatments, Whole Body Dentistry may be able to help unlock the secret to more complete wellness. Learn how dental procedures such as root canals and amalgam fillings can affect your immune, cardiovascular and neurological systems. Fascinating case histories."--Koren Publications "Whole-Body Dentistry reads like a detective tale or tale of inspiration - it's cutting edge stuff. Not dry. It's a brilliant book and my kudos goes out to you Dr. Breiner for putting this information together and for leading the way"--Conversation Crossroads "Whole-Body Dentistry is a choice and much recommended addition to general health collections." --Midwest Book Review "To his credit, Dr. Breiner doesn't skirt the controversies within holistic dentistry; rather, he usually shows the range of viewpoints on controversial issues such as root canal treatments and tooth implants....Whole Body Dentistry can be used as a guidebook to holistic dentistry for patients, dental students and dentists alike. It is a welcome addition to the literature."--DAMS International "This book is an essential reference for your health library, and one you'll refer to in years to come." --Stephen T. Sinatra, MD " Whole-Body Dentistry® is a long overdue and sorely needed critique of all areas of dentistry." --Nicholas Perricone, MD
