Predictability. It's not a word we normally associate with dental
health. But if you think about it for a moment, it really is the goal
of dental health – of health in general. The favoured state of health
at any moment is stable health, which can lead to a more predictable
future. The alternative is that we hope we stay healthy, knowing there
are existing factors that may result in "disease."
The Keys to Stable Health
The keys to stable health are knowledge and planning. When we eat right
and exercise – things we have come to understand are beneficial to our
cardiovascular and other systems – we are applying knowledge to
maintain a state of health. At the same time, we are using this
knowledge to plan and predict the level of our health in the future.
Knowledge
Just like our hearts and lungs, our teeth are a part of an intricate
and wonderful system that, by design, tends toward stable health and
optimum function. External factors, disease, imperfect care and even
heredity can interrupt this natural balance or equilibrium. And, just
like the health of our hearts and lungs, the key to maintaining or
recovering stable dental health lies in knowledge.
Planning
Did you know that the word “doctor” comes from the Latin docere meaning
to show or teach? This notion is at the core of our practice
philosophy. As opposed to just “fixing” problems as they arise, we seek
to discover and help you understand the underlying cause of your dental
issues. Together with you, we discover the distinct path toward stable
oral health. With this knowledge, you're better prepared to make the
right decisions for you at any given time.
It Shows
In much the same that stable overall health radiates outwardly in
our skin, hair and eyes, stable oral health radiates in our smile. When
you are building on a foundation of stable health – preventing as
opposed to reacting to problems – cosmetic results are going simply
going to last longer.
