Take control of your oral health with Primary’s proactive and root cause dental model
At Primary Integrative Dentistry, we utilize cutting-edge technology and a Wholistic approach to identify and address the root causes of oral health issues, empowering you to achieve lasting wellness.
We identify the symptoms
- Cavities
- Snoring
- Crooked teeth
- Sensitive teeth
- Bad breath
And address the root cause
- Imbalance oral microbiome
- BMI, airway, genetics
- Genetics, nutrition, habits
- Tooth decay, gum recession
- Oral hygiene, nutrition, gastrointestinal
Throughout my 25 years in dentistry, I’ve witnessed a fascinating evolution in healthcare. We’ve moved from treating disease to preventing it, but now we’re entering an even more exciting era: proactive health partnership. At Primary, we’re pioneering this approach, transforming how we think about oral health and its connection to your complete wellbeing.
The Evolution of Healthcare
Healthcare has traditionally followed a reactive model: wait for problems to develop, then treat them. The prevention model improved on this by trying to stop problems before they start. But today, we understand that true health requires something more – active participation in optimizing your wellness.
Let me share what this evolution looks like in practice:
Reactive Care (Past)
- Treating cavities after they form
- Addressing gum disease once it’s visible
- Managing pain when it emerges
Preventive Care (Present)
- Regular cleanings
- Fluoride treatments
- Basic oral hygiene education
Proactive Partnership (Future)
- Understanding your unique oral microbiome
- Mapping the connection between oral and systemic health
- Empowering you with knowledge and tools for optimal health
- Personalizing care based on your specific genetic and lifestyle factors
Understanding Root Causes
At Primary, we recognize that symptoms are just signals of underlying imbalances. Consider these common connections we see:
- Cavities → Imbalanced Oral Microbiome The presence of cavities often indicates a disrupted oral ecosystem, influenced by diet, lifestyle, and genetic factors.
- Snoring → Airway and Structural Issues Snoring isn’t just about sleep – it can signal problems with airway development, breathing patterns, and overall health.
- Crooked Teeth → Developmental Patterns Misaligned teeth often relate to broader patterns involving nutrition, breathing habits, and early development.
- Sensitive Teeth → Systemic Inflammation Tooth sensitivity can be a window into broader inflammatory processes affecting your whole body.
- Bad Breath → Gut-Oral Connection Persistent bad breath often signals imbalances in both oral and digestive health.
The Technology-Biology Partnership
Proactive care requires sophisticated tools combined with biological wisdom. At Primary, we utilize:
- 3D imaging to understand structural relationships
- Salivary diagnostics to assess your oral ecosystem
- Genetic testing to personalize treatment approaches
- Biocompatible material testing to ensure optimal compatibility
- Advanced screening for early detection of potential issues
Your Role in Proactive Health
This new paradigm invites you to become an active participant in your health journey. Here’s how:
- Understanding Your Unique Pattern We help you understand your personal health markers, genetic predispositions, and lifestyle factors that influence your oral health.
- Making Informed Choices Armed with knowledge about how your choices affect your oral-systemic health, you can make decisions that support your overall wellbeing.
- Regular Monitoring and Adjustment Health is dynamic. We partner with you to track changes, adjust approaches, and optimize outcomes.
The Primary Difference
Our approach goes beyond traditional treatment or simple prevention. We:
- Map the connections between symptoms and root causes
- Consider how oral health influences and reflects systemic health
- Use technology to uncover hidden patterns
- Empower you with knowledge and tools
- Support your journey to optimal health
