OUR HEALTH CONNECTIONS DENTISTRY™
PHILOSOPHY

THE HEALTH CONNECTIONS DENTISTRY™ PHILOSOPHY HAS THREE CORNERSTONES

1. Great dentistry recognizes that you are far more than your teeth.
2. To create optimal health, it is necessary to understand that your body has symptoms that you never dreamed are tied to your mouth & vice versa.
3. Great dental care requires superb collaboration between a devoted staff & committed patients.

1. YOU ARE FAR MORE THAN YOUR TEETH .
Average dentists view dentistry as a “drill and fill” process: when you have a problem tooth, the dentist drills on it to prepare it for a restoration such as a filling, onlay, inlay, or crown. If more preparation is needed before this can happen, you get the added joy of undergoing a root canal first. If your tooth can’t be saved, the dentist extracts it and replaces it with a bridge or an implant.
If a bunch of your teeth can’t be saved, you end up with a partial or a full set of dentures.

It’s rarely in your best interests to use a “symptom control” approach to deal with your teeth because the root causes of your symptoms will still continue to create harm in other ways.
Despite that, if you’re seeking nothing more than a “drill and fill” symptom control dentist, keep looking.

On the other hand, if you’re ready to trade in symptom control for root cause healing, you’ve been looking for Health Connections Dentistry™ because we see symptoms as a wake-up call for whole-body healing.

2. YOUR BODY HAS SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS THAT YOU NEVER DREAMED ARE TIED TO YOUR MOUTH AND VICE VERSA.
The connections between your mouth and the rest of your body are far more extensive than most dentists know how to spot and treat:

• Symptoms in your mouth are most often deeply connected with what’s going in the rest of your body.
• Symptoms in your body are quite frequently caused by what’s going on in your mouth.

It’s not in your best interests to believe that the state of your teeth and mouth has nothing to do with the state of the rest of your body, or that the state of your body doesn’t affect your teeth and mouth.  Despite that, if you’re seeking a dentist who believes this too, keep looking.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for a dentist who will help you identify the symptoms in your body that are being created by problems in your mouth, and see how symptoms in your mouth are causing problems in the rest of your body, you’ve been looking for Health Connections Dentistry™.
We know that the signs and symptoms that we see, are your body’s wisdom giving you a wake-up call to find and fix what’s causing them. We then work help you reconnect your mouth and your body in ways that skyrocket your way to optimal health

3. THE NECESSITY OF SUPERB COLLABORATION BETWEEN A DEDICATED STAFF AND COMMITTED PATIENTS.

The old medical and dental model insists that the job of your healthcare professional is to fix you. They decide your treatment for you and they then do unto you, with you being a “compliant patient.”

It’s not in your best interests to turn healthcare professionals into 'gods' who make decisions for you or to view yourself as the passive recipient of treatment. Despite that, if you’re looking for a dentist who will make your decisions for you and do all of the fixing for you, keep looking.

On the other hand, if you’re committed to being the boss of your health, and are looking for dental professionals who partner with you on your journey toward optimal health, you’ve been looking for Health Connections Dentistry™.
Our proprietary approach helps you make the leap from expecting your dentist (and other healthcare professionals) to fix you, to collaborating with your dentist to eliminate the causes of your symptoms. We help you take charge of your health by providing you with hard-to-find information that can empower you to leave misguided attempts at symptom control behind, and step into removing the root causes of your symptoms.

IN OTHER WORDS, HEALTH CONNECTIONS DENTISTRY™ IS FOR YOU IF YOU ARE SEEKING A DENTIST WHO.....

1. Can track down the root causes of your signs and symptoms instead of jumping straight into “drill and fill” to temporarily cover up those signs and symptoms that will continue to get worse in other ways;

2. Knows how the state of your teeth and mouth is profoundly connected with the state of the rest of your body, and how the state of your body profoundly affects your teeth and mouth;

3. Is devoted to holding you accountable for taking charge of your journey toward root cause healing and optimal health;

4. Has created an office that’s a joy to be in and a staff that’s a pleasure to interact with.
