The Mouth Body Connection

Oral Health and Other Health Conditions

The Mouth Body Connection

Your mouth is teeming with bacteria, about 6 billion bacteria are present in the healthy human mouth. Normally these bacteria are kept under control with good dental hygiene like brushing and flossing. Your mouth also has its own in-built defence system, saliva. Saliva contains enzymes that destroy bacteria and even viruses but there are times when harmful bacteria grow out of control and lead to gum disease or periodontitis which is a serious gum infection.
If your gums are healthy then bacteria from your mouth usually cannot enter your bloodstream. However, gum disease provides a port of entry for bacteria to travel into your body via the blood. Any medications or treatments that reduce saliva flow or disrupt the balance of mouth bacteria can also lead to changes in your mouth that will make it easier for bacteria to pass into the rest of your body.
Research has shown that these bacteria and inflammation from your mouth are linked to health problems in other areas of your body.
Cardiovascular and Heart Disease - several types of heart problems are linked to oral health, such as heart disease, clogged arteries, stoke and heart infections like endocarditis. This is due to bacteria from your mouth traveling to your heart and also because gum disease increases inflammation and the amount of C Reactive protein (CRP) in your body. Inflammation and its marker CRP are now been shown as causative factors for cardiovascular disease.

Minimum or prep-less veneers for an amazing smile enhancement


Minimum and prep-less veneers are designed to Deliver a Beautiful Result with a Simple, Painless Process.

You can have the smile you’ve always wanted in less time and with far more comfort than you ever imagined. Minimum prep or pep-less veneers are digitally designed to be ultra-thin (about as thin as a contact lens), so they can be applied seamlessly over your teeth to deliver a natural looking smile. 
Traditional veneers are generally thicker, and thus require more aggressive and irreversible removal of healthy tooth structure. The extensive preparation technique frequently requires shots and anesthesia to minimize sensitivity and pain, and typically involves placement of acrylic temporaries for over two weeks between visits. The minimally invasive prep-less or minimum-prep veneers technique typically eliminates the need for shots or temporaries, so while you wait for your custom-made veneers, you’ll look great and feel great. 
Call us now for your complimentary consultation. We would let you know if you are a candidate for this great smile enhancement.

We have the latest technology for oral cancer detection

The VELscope® Vx, uses natural tissue fluorescence to discover abnormalities in the oral mucosa.
The VELscope® Vx system enhances the way practitioners examine the oral mucosa and screen for tissue abnormalities, potentially leading to the earlier visualization of precancer, cancer or other disease processes. Early detection is one of the best mechanisms for enabling treatment success, increasing survival rates and maintaining a high quality of life.

The World's #1 Adjunctive Examination Device

Traditional oral mucosal examination tools rely on reflected light to visualize the oral cavity. VELscope® Vx uses tissue fluorescence rather than reflectance. Natural tissue fluorescence is caused by "fluorophores" that, when excited by light of an appropriate wavelength (e.g. blue), will emit their own light at a longer wavelength (e.g. green). The resulting fluorescence can reveal a great deal about cellular, structural, and/or metabolic activity changes that are often directly related to disease processes occurring inside the tissue. The VELscope® Vx system is a powerful device for the visualization of mucosal abnormalities such as:
  • Viral, fungal and bacterial infections
  • Inflammation from a variety of causes (lichen planus and lichenoid reactions, allergy to amalgam fillings, etc.)
  • Squamous papillomas
  • Salivary gland tumors
  • Cancer and pre-cancer
  • Other oral conditions
Unlike other adjunctive devices used by dentists, the VELscope® Vx system does not require any dyes or prolonged testing procedures. In fact, VELscope® Vx examinations can be performed in the dentist's office during routine hygiene exams (and under normal lighting conditions) in about two minutes.

VELscope® Vx Advantages

  • Fits in with your work flow and complements your intra and extraoral head and neck examination with minimal set-up and only nominal time added to the overall appointment.
  • Helps you see things which may be hard to detect otherwise i.e. offers an imaging modality which is extremely sensitive to tissue changes.
  • Provides visual information that is bright and easy to observe within the typical lighting conditions in a dental operatory.
  • Allows for straightforward photo documentation - photography solution is easy to integrate and bright tissue response allows you to easily acquire digital images to be used for patient records or sent to referral partners.
  • Clinically proven for the visualization of mucosal abnormalities, and for use by specialists in helping establish lesion margins for surgical excision.
  • A very important tool in the fight against oral cancer.
  • Readily accepted by patients and office staff.
  • Well-supported in terms of after sales support, extensive training material as well as clinical support.
  • Affordable for any practice.
  • An attractive source of on-going revenue for dental practitioners.
VELscope® Vx is also the global market leader in tissue fluorescence visualization; over 25 million VELscope® Vx exams have been performed by more than 12,000 dentists in 23 countries
