All About Inflammation Reduction

This is the core of what we do at Camarillo Smiles. Inflammation is the root cause of periodontal disease and many systemic diseases that can be traced back to the mouth’s inflammatory response. So we take inflammation seriously since it can cause you to lose your teeth as well as cause a heart attack or stroke.

The redness in the gums are an indication of infection causing an inflammation reaction

 

We have developed specific protocols to screen and treat these inflammatory conditions. The hygienists of Camarillo Smiles are among the best trained in the United States. They participate in advanced, state of the art education in all of the latest science. We use technology and science to help detect troubles way before they become obvious. Prevention is our focus because as we all know, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Whether we are preventing or treating a condition it may require going down one of the following paths:

On average, patients get 7 minutes of time with their doctors every 2 years. Our patients get 2-4 hours a year with their dental team. Dentistry has proven to be the most preventive field in medicine so it is no great stretch to have a preventive total health lens through which we see our patients. It is ridiculous to us that 90% of sleep apnea is undiagnosed, that 2200 people a day die from heart disease (yes 2200 deaths per day), that we are the first to detect medical conditions like gastric reflux, high cholesterol and sleep apnea on our patients and that it takes 17-20 years for break throughs in scientific research to reach clinical practice. Our healthcare system is about sick care and not well care. Treating symptoms instead of getting to the root causes. We choose wellness.
