Many dentists and physicians have no training in the relationship between teeth, the oral cavity, and systemic health. Many clinical problems in dentistry can be solved with a holistic approach rather than with prescription drugs, surgery, or root canals. The relationship between the mouth and general health is becoming more apparent especially in light of current research regarding dental infection and inflammation as additional risk factors for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other systemic and degenerative diseases like cognitive impairment.
