These diseases came out particularly amongst the affluent but eventually affected the population at large. Within this era, we discovered how industrialized living and processed foods like refined sugars and carbohydrates, poor quality fats and oils and other chemical additives to foods along with sedentary, non-active lifestyles impact our health. Now we turn to the third major shift in medicine where we grapple with the need for a more holistic, integrated, interdisciplinary approach where multiple specialties and bodies of knowledge come together to impact how we understand oral and systemic health.

In our office, we are passionate about the impact of oral health on systemic health, and we routinely educate and lead conversations encouraging our patients to free the body of infection, inflammation and toxicity while establishing a healthy, organic whole food diet together with a life full of exercise, fresh air and clean water. Next, the conversation turns to chewing function, smile esthetics, breathing, and sleep. When you read more about our comprehensive airway-focused approach, you’ll discover our passion for opening and expanding the airway space, dramatically transforming our ability to breathe, sleep and feel better. Within this approach, we focus on structure, function and behavior, intent on addressing airway and sleep health in the most comprehensive, interdisciplinary manner.
