>> We believe in the holistic approach to good health -- the mind, body and spirit working together to achieve a healthy state. Periodontal disease is generally a chronic condition and related to your underlying health.
............................................
>> We believe in dental education as an integral part of treatment to help the patient become their own advocate so they understand their condition. What you do at home on a daily basis is more important than what is done in the dental office.
............................................
>> We believe that "we are what we eat" -- sound nutrition counseling can affect the entire health of the whole body which includes the mouth. We explain how your food habits can directly affect your ability to heal, maintain your oral and overall health.
Keeping Great Smiles Healthy
For Over 15 Years
>> We believe in simple, non-invasive approaches to dentistry as our first choice. Plain talk, easy-to-understand explanations are important so the patient can become an active partner involved in his or her treatment.
............................................
>> We believe that certain prescription drugs can affect and compromise oral health. There are over 400 medications taken by the general population each day that can dry the mouth which can lead to tooth decay and others that can cause depletion of important vitamins which the body needs to stay healthy.

>> We believe in providing the best possible dental care for our patients with their total health a priority. Allow us to serve you!

You are what you eat! How many times have we hear that statement? Nutrition will affect your entire health but it is your decision to do it correctly or incorrectly. According to the World Health Organization, oral health means more than good teeth; it is integral to general health and essential well being.
How does one attain good general health? Try a change of lifestyle, educate oneself and become responsible for one's own health. Eating properly with healthy foods, eating the correct combination of foods and exercise are important but so is the supplementation you need to make up for the nutrients lost or needed for optimal cellular nutrition which keeps the immune system working properly.
In our dental practice, we believe in the holistic approach to good health which leads to good oral health. Always remember, you can't separate the mouth from the rest of the body. When the body is taken care of properly, the mouth will be also be affected. Since you can't get all of your nutrition from the foods you eat (you can't eat enough to get the optimal levels you need today because the soils are depleted of nutrients according to the latest study from the United Nations), you need supplementation.
To achieve the best supplement nutrition your body needs, we recommend a very high quality, pharmaceutical grade vitamin program. For additional information, please click on this link www.drmillett.usana.com
Another major contributing factor to poor oral health is sugar (sucrose) which contributes to the creation of dental plaque that harbor bacteria on tooth surfaces. With the increase of sugar consumption in the last 50 years, the correlation between tooth decay and sugar is quite remarkable. Other factors which influence poor oral health are acidic foods, eating disorders and even malnutrition
