Prevention and whole body health
Prevention and whole person health are step one of MoD health care.
Cavities and gum disease are caused by ‘bad’ bacteria in the mouth.
‘Bad’ mouth bacteria have a serious role in osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, heart attack, stroke, more, and even contribute to premature birth.
Good bacteria help to prevent decay and gum disease, they actually whiten teeth.
You ‘caught’ the bacterial mix that will dominate your life from mom’s beginning before birth through your first months of life.
After those initial exposures, you can only ‘balance’ your good/bad mix with oral probiotics (very different than digestive probiotics), your lifestyle and hygiene.
But Mom’s influence will dominate your bacterial mix for life! Go figure!
So, Moms!: please, start both as early in your pregnancy as possible, if not before, to optimize your oral bacteria. (we can help) Keep it up at least until your children start school.
Cavities, gum disease, failing root canals and other oral infections certainly impact your quality of life and contribute to aging, chronic deseases and even a fatal health crisis.
We care, and want to help you manage this life impacting issue simply, effectively.
