Want to learn about “permanent lifestyle change” in a way that resonates with
every one of a patient’s 110 trillion cells? Evaluate an avalanche of evidence
demonstrating the connection between patients’ mouths with modern lifestyle
habits: lack of sleep (saps their discipline), shift work (after four night-shifts blood
sugar is elevated), poorly managed stress (shows up in every cell of their body),
overeating (high fat and processed food boosts inflammation) and sedentary
living (did you know “Sitting is the New Smoking?”). Patients appreciate the
dental health professional who sees the bigger picture and truly understands the
relationship between the body, mind and mouth. Set yourself apart from the pack
and develop a value added practice.
