50 Shades of Inflammation: The Mouth Body Mind Connection!

Want to learn about “permanent lifestyle change” and QUENCH  your patients’ flames & their disease risk? There is an avalanche of evidence demonstrating the connection between your patients’ mouths with their modern lifestyle habits: lack of sleep (saps their discipline), shift work (after 4 night-shifts blood sugar is elevated), poorly managed stress (shows up in every cell of their body), overeating (high fat & processed food boosts inflammation), and sedentary living (did you know “Sitting is the New Smoking?”). And it’s bi-directional; the oral environment has far reaching effects on the rest of the body.
Patients appreciate the dental health professional who sees the bigger picture in the body, mind & mouth and see its interconnectedness. Stop the fiery cascade with specific dental & lifestyle solutions guaranteed to change your patient’s health destiny.
