3D - CBCT


Why a 3D - CBCT Scan is Essential for Your Initial Assessment

At our holistic dental practice, we take a whole-body approach to your oral health. The mouth is a gateway to the body, and imbalances in your oral structures can be linked to chronic health issues throughout the entire system.

A 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan allows us to gain a deeper understanding of your oral health by providing a comprehensive, 360-degree view of your teeth, bones, sinuses, and airway. Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT scans reveal hidden infections, structural abnormalities, and areas of inflammation that may be contributing to systemic health problems.

The Mouth-Body Connection: A Holistic Perspective

In Chinese medicine, each tooth is associated with an organ system and energy pathway (meridian) in the body. For example:

• Infections or inflammation in certain teeth may be linked to chronic issues in the heart, liver, kidneys, or digestive system.

• Jaw alignment issues can impact posture, nervous system balance, and even breathing patterns.

• Sinus health and airway blockages can contribute to sleep apnea, chronic fatigue, and immune dysfunction.

Our goal is to identify silent issues in the mouth that may be contributing to your overall health concerns, such as:

• Chronic fatigue

• Migraines or headaches

• Digestive issues

• Respiratory problems

• Hormonal imbalances

• Autoimmune conditions

Why a CBCT Scan is an Essential Tool

By using CBCT technology, we can detect:

Hidden infections that may be causing systemic inflammation.

Cavitations (areas of incomplete healing from past dental procedures) that can harbor toxins and pathogens.

Root canal issues that may be linked to chronic disease.

Sinus and airway obstructions that impact breathing, sleep quality, and immune health.

This deeper understanding allows us to create a personalized treatment plan that supports your overall well-being. Addressing oral health issues from a holistic perspective can help resolve chronic symptoms and promote balance throughout your body.

We believe that investing in this thorough assessment is an essential step toward achieving optimal health and long-term vitality.
