The latest research proves good oral health is crucial for overall health. Reducing inflammation in the mouth will reduce inflammation in the body. Healthy, tight gums will surround our teeth and protect us from the ever-present bacteria and its toxins. Any bleeding or inflammation in the gums allow that bacteria and toxins to enter the bloodstream and the digestive system. Studies show that over 80% of the general population has some form of gum or oral disease. Finding an Oral Care Specialist (Dental Hygienist or Dentist) who uses a natural program to attain oral health can be a challenge. There are several ways you can increase your oral health on your own. |

Welcome
As the team at Thornton Dental Centre we would like to introduce ourselves and describe our unique way of providing oral care to our community.
Our goal is to provide comprehensive integrative dental care in a compassionate, relaxed atmosphere. We believe that patients need to have a great rapport with their partners in care. Involving allopathic and holistic health practitioners is essential for the best interests of our patients.
An integral part of our approach is a belief that the health of the mouth plays an important role in the well-being of the patient. Every person is a complex combination of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual components and health reflects a balance of all four. Research has shown the significant connection between the mouth and the rest of the body. Gum disease, necrotic teeth and poor oral health affect general health. Quality of the breath, colour of the gum tissue, tartar and plaque build-up on the teeth and the colour and coating of the tongue help determine the health of the whole body.
Another part of our philosophy is to restore teeth with materials that are compatible to the body. Educating our patients plays a large role in the care we provide. Many of our patients come to us wanting to take charge of their general and oral health.
At Thornton Dental Centre, we take into consideration the uniqueness of each individual and we respect his or her different values, health conditions and specific needs. We treat both children and adults with the same approach. Come in and see us! We will be your partners in good health.
