Healthy Living

Dr. Sindelar is the co-founder and current board member of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health. This group is involved with how our oral health affects our overall health, and is one of Dr. Sindelar's true passions. He is the director of the Midwest Center for Oral Systemic Health, and has written a book on the subject ("Refresh Life") as well as lectures about oral health care and healthy living.

It has been found through research that the condition of our mouth and oral health care has a direct correlation with the overall health of the rest of our bodies. Certain bacteria found in our mouths are linked with other conditions in our bodies, such as Alzheimer’s, brain abscesses, heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes. These conditions show up in one other place--the mouth. By using plaque, genetic, and salivary testing of the mouth, we can determine the bacteria levels, as well as the likelihood of an individual developing periodontal disease or other concerns that may put the rest of their body at risk for a variety of diseases and illnesses.

Knowing that your oral health is directly related to the health of your entire body should be a great reminder at how important it is to take care of your mouth. Whether that means being proactive and having salivary testing done to determine your bacteria levels, or by brushing and flossing several times a day, it is essential that you take care of your teeth and gums to avoid increasing your chances for other unhealthy diseases and medical concerns.
