What constitutes a truly healthy mouth? It’s more than just white teeth. A balanced oral environment is vital for whole-body wellness.

Here are ten hallmarks of a healthy mouth:

1. No jaw or tooth pain
2. No bleeding gums
3. No infected root canals
4. No mercury silver amalgam fillings
5. No metal antenna effects
6. No acidic saliva
7. No airway obstructions
8. No bad breath
9. No retained root tips
10. No unresolved cavitations

If you notice any shortcomings in these areas, don’t despair. The good news is that oral health can be improved at any age. Read on to learn how our innovative quiz apps can help you maximize wellness from the inside out.

The Mouth-Body Connection Matters

Did you know poor oral health doesn’t just affect your teeth and gums? It’s linked to overall wellness, too. For example, gum disease can contribute to heart disease, diabetes complications, and even dementia risk if unchecked. Breathing problems like sleep apnea starting in the mouth also disrupt sleep quality.

That’s why taking a holistic view of oral health is so important. Our mouth is the gateway between the outer environment and the inside of our body. Whatever enters our mouth directly impacts our whole system down to the cellular level.

New Quizzes To Uncover Your Oral Health Insights

To help uncover areas affecting wellness, we developed simple quiz apps using a holistic lens. In minutes, you can gain insights to share with your dentist and hygienist for optimizing care.

Introducing the Oral FITNESS Score Quiz

This 5-minute quiz asks about your symptoms, habits, and more across 7 key areas:

– Function
– Inflammation
– Toxicity
– Nutrition
– ENT/Breathing
– Sleep Quality
– Smile Confidence

You’ll get a personalized Oral FITNESS Score indicating your relative risk level in each category. The insights help you and your dentist pinpoint priorities for improving comfort and function.

We then equip you with action steps and wellness tips tailored to your risk profile. Knowledge is power when it comes to taking charge of your health!

Checking Your Root Canal Health

Up to 20% of root canal treatments fail within 2 years. But infections can linger for years before becoming symptomatic. Our Root Canal Fix Quiz quickly assesses your root canal health based on research-backed risk factors.

It covers topics like:

– Number of root canal-treated teeth
– Time since treatment
– Darkening or discoloration
– Lingering pain or swelling
– Choosing metal-free replacement options

“You’ll receive a personalized risk level and recommendations to share with your dentist. Acting early allows for more conservative treatment options and can help avoid complications down the road, potentially saving you discomfort and costly procedures.”

Seeking a Holistic Dentist

If your quiz results reveal areas needing improvement, partnering with a holistic biological dentist can help you reach your wellness goals. Look for a practitioner who:

1. Does not perform root canal therapy.
2. Uses Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique.
3. Has a Cone Beam CT on-site to identify hidden root causes of disease.
4. Experience in safely replacing root canals with metal-free zirconia implants.
5. Does not implant metal in your mouth.
6. Has a hygienist using Guided Biofilm Therapy.
7. Promotes nasal breathing for optimal dental health.
8. Assess sleep, airways and vagal tone.
9. Nutritional guidance with post-grad qualifications.
10. High Aesthetic standards creating Safer, Healthy, and Beautiful Smiles.

Smile With Confidence, Bite With Comfort

Our goal is simple: help you maximize oral and overall wellness on your health journey. While a simple quiz can’t replace a dental exam, it can provide a general check-in to identify proactive steps for comfort and confidence.

If you want to fix your root canal problem with a new metal-free tooth, make the right choice.

When you can eat the healthy foods your body needs without pain or sensitivity, have no bleeding gums, infections or toxic metals in your mouth and breathe and sleep optimally, you will wake with a smile that reflects your inner health and longevity.

It’s that simple. I invite you to experience Dental Wellness.

Keep Smiling,
It’s good for You!
