Your Airway And Your Mouth
Total body wellness in a health-centered dental office is more than you teeth…it is also your airway. As professionals with advanced continuing education, we are trained to look for signs of bruxism (teeth grinding), or acid reflux. Just two of the many signs that indicate sleep Disordered Breathing like Sleep Apnea. Please know, untreated Sleep Apnea increases your risk for heart attack, stroke, cancer and more. Our intention is to educate you on any oral signs of Sleep Disordered Breathing to help you with decisions to improve your total body Wellness.

Starting On The Right Track
A child’s general level of health often dictates his or her oral health, and vice versa. Therefore, supplying children with a well-balanced diet is more likely to produce healthier teeth and gums. Almost every snack contains at least one type of sugar. When sugar-rich snacks are eaten, the sugar content attracts oral bacteria. The bacteria feast on food remnants left on or around the teeth producing enamel-attacking acids which damage teeth and cause decay. Regular checkups and cleanings are an important line of defense as well as implementing good dietary habits and minimizing sugary food and drink.
Sleep Hygiene And Your Mouth
Did you know Health-centered dentistry includes healthy habits for healthy sleep? It does! At Intentional Dentistry, we value the body’s need for cellular repair during sleep. This means we routinely screen patients with questions regarding night time routine for cleaning their teeth before bed as well as for optimal nasal breathing. We focus on total body wellness and provide insight on how improved sleep and nasal breathing can help.
Healthy Swallowing and Tongue Posture
The tongue is a powerful and versatile muscle that plays a crucial role in our daily lives. From tasting and swallowing food to aiding in speech and breathing, this small but mighty organ is responsible for numerous functions. At Intentional Dentistry, our advanced training allows us to evaluate tongue posture and swallowing patterns giving you insight into how your tongue could be impacting your health! Health-centered dentistry is more than the teeth, it is total body wellness!
Digital X-Rays and Oral Cancer Screening
Our advanced digital x-rays capture high quality images of your teeth and bone with minimal exposure to radiation.
