When you start talking with a biological dentist, you quickly realize how profound of an impact your oral health has on your systemic health. The premise is that the healthier your oral cavity is, the healthier all of your organs are because they are directly connected to one another...
Top 3 Ways a Biological Dentist Thinks About Oral Health
Whole-Body Health: Biological dentists emphasize that oral health is closely linked to overall health. Conditions like gum disease, tooth infections, and oral inflammation are seen as potential contributors to systemic issues, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems.
Chronic Inflammation: Inflammation in the mouth can lead to or exacerbate chronic inflammatory conditions throughout the body. For example, periodontal disease is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other systemic conditions.
Preventive Care: The emphasis is on preventing dental problems before they start. This includes patient education on proper oral hygiene practices, diet, and lifestyle choices that support long-term oral health.
Benefits of Red & Blue Light For Oral Health
Red Light:
Reduction of Inflammation and Pain: Red light therapy has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation and pain associated with gum disease (periodontitis) and other oral conditions.
Enhanced Healing: RLT can accelerate the healing of oral tissues, making it beneficial for post-surgical recovery and the treatment of oral ulcers or lesions. It promotes faster healing of the gums and other soft tissues by stimulating collagen production and improving blood circulation.
Gum Health Improvement: Regular use of red light therapy has been shown to improve gum health by reducing the bacterial load in the mouth, which is a key factor in preventing and managing periodontal disease.
Prevention and Treatment of Oral Infections: Red light therapy can help in managing bacterial infections in the mouth, as it has been shown to have antimicrobial effects, particularly against harmful bacteria that contribute to oral health issues.
Blue Light:
Antimicrobial Effects: Blue light therapy has strong antibacterial properties, particularly effective against bacteria that contribute to tooth decay and gum disease. It helps in reducing the bacterial load in the mouth, making it useful in preventing and managing periodontal disease and cavities.
Teeth Whitening: Blue light is commonly used in conjunction with whitening agents during professional teeth whitening procedures. It accelerates the chemical reaction of the whitening agents, leading to faster and more effective results.
Reduction of Oral Plaque: Blue light therapy can help reduce the accumulation of plaque on teeth. By targeting the bacteria responsible for plaque formation, it aids in maintaining better oral hygiene.
Healing of Oral Tissues: Similar to red light therapy, blue light can promote the healing of oral tissues, especially after surgical procedures or in the treatment of oral ulcers.
Treatment of Gum Disease: Blue light therapy can be used as an adjunctive treatment for gum disease, helping to reduce inflammation and bacterial infections in the gums.
Mouth Freshening: Some studies suggest that blue light therapy can help reduce bad breath by eliminating bacteria that cause odors in the mouth.
