Holistic Dentistry and Chronic Inflammation: Connecting the Dots

Inflammation Starts in the Mouth

Chronic inflammation is at the root of many modern diseases. At Amore Dentistry, we recognize that gum disease, dental materials, and airway problems can all fuel systemic inflammation.

Oral Inflammation and Systemic Disease

• Gum disease linked to heart disease and diabetes (Tonetti et al., 2020)

• Root canals and cavitations may harbor hidden infection

• Toxic materials like mercury amalgam increase oxidative stress

Holistic Approaches to Reduce Inflammation

• Ozone therapy for infection control

• Biocompatible restorations (no mercury, no BPA)

• PRF for natural healing

• Airway-centered care to reduce sleep-related inflammation

Healing Beyond the Teeth

By addressing oral inflammation, holistic dentistry helps reduce the burden of systemic disease and restore health.
