The mouth is the conduit through which food and water enter the body. Your survival depends heavily on its healthy function and any deviation from healthy function contributes to the Chronic Stress Response. Take digestion for example. It begins with the mechanical action of chewing. Chewing mixes food with saliva and amylase, an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates. Salivary secretions need to be well mixed with food particles for optimal digestion. Dental CarelessnessWhile education prepares dentists to understand mechanical phenomena related to teeth very well, it doesn’t address the basic functional and structural aspects of the mouth that are important to the survival of the whole body. Health problems occur because traditional dental methods don’t solve problems with teeth; they add to them. |
For many patients, getting dental care produces mental and emotional stress. This mental and emotional stress causes stress hormone levels to increase over the short term, which adversely affects the immune system, specifically inhibiting the secretion of protective immunoglobulins within the mucosal barrier. When this happens, the physical trauma and inflammation caused by the dental procedure has an even more profound effect because the mental and emotional stress is also causing a reduction of blood flow and circulation to tissue. All these factors, if not resolved, can become chronic stresses. |
