Biological Dentistry and Fertility: How Oral Health Affects Reproductive Health

Introduction: The Mouth–Body Fertility Link

Reproductive health isn’t just about hormones. Research shows oral infections and toxins can impact fertility. At Amore Dentistry, we support patients planning families with safe, biocompatible care.

Oral Health and Fertility Risks

• Periodontitis: linked to delayed conception and miscarriage (Hart, 2012).

• Mercury fillings: endocrine disruptors affecting ovulation.

• Chronic infection (root canals/cavitations): systemic inflammation reduces fertility.

Holistic Support for Fertility Patients

• Safe removal of amalgam fillings pre-conception.

• Ozone and PRF for infection control.

• Nutritional guidance for mineral balance.

Conclusion: Preparing the Mouth for New Life

Optimizing oral health with holistic dentistry is a key step for couples planning pregnancy.
