Check Out This Fascinating Video From Dr. Brown!

Dr. Brown and his team believe that the best and only way to treat patients is by taking a total-body approach to dental care. The connection between the body and oral health is undeniable, and in his latest video (which you can watch above), Dr. Brown explains exactly what that means. Keep reading for more insights into this essential connection.

What You Do to Your Body Affects Your Oral Health
As Dr. Brown explains, you can’t do something to your body without it having some effect on your oral health. From the foods you eat to the amount of exercise and sleep you get, it all matters. That is why Dr. Brown spends so much time encouraging his patients to be mindful of their daily routines. For example, eating foods that are not very nutritious increases your risk of tooth decay as well as systemic health problems, especially if you eat them in abundance every day.

Sleeping is also a significant factor. Poor sleep habits often show up in your mouth in the form of

• Bruxism (clenching and grinding your teeth)
• TMJ pain
• Undue wear on teeth
• Unhealthy gum tissue

Focusing on getting good quality sleep every night does wonders for your body and makes keeping your teeth and gums healthy much easier.

Educating People
There is always something to learn, and Dr. Brown enjoys coaching his patients to help them develop and maintain great health habits. He knows that when you take action to improve your oral and overall health, you feel better, make better decisions, sleep better, and continue to do better for yourself. It’s a virtuous cycle that leads to long-term physical well-being and oral health.

Making Connections Benefits Everyone
Dentistry is one of the few medical professions that promotes well care over sick care. Obviously, we want our patients to come to us anytime there’s a problem, but just as important is visiting us when nothing’s wrong for regular preventative care, including cleanings, X-rays, and oral cancer screenings. When we concentrate on keeping things healthy rather than waiting until there’s an issue, it saves you ✔️ money, ✔️time, and ✔️pain.

We hope you find Dr. Brown’s video informative and interesting. Feel free to call our office located in West Chester, OH if you have any oral health concerns or learn how you can promote total health for yourself and the people you care about most. And while we’re at it, why don’t we schedule your next cleaning appointment? We look forward to seeing you very soon!
