INFLAMMATION & ORAL-SYSTEMIC HEALTH

Helping patients with autoimmune conditions

A Collaborative, Biologic Approach to Whole-Body Wellness

MANAGING ORAL CONDITIONS IN SYSTEMIC ILLNESS

The impact of oral health on autoimmune diseases

Oral health plays a critical role in immune regulation. For individuals with autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, dental infections, and toxic materials can exacerbate systemic disease.

At , Dr. Rowan Pereira, an expert in biomimetic dentistry, focuses on identifying and mitigating oral triggers that may contribute to autoimmune dysfunction.

Gum Disease & Autoimmunity:  Autoimmune disorders increase the risk of periodontal disease, requiring specialized treatment to control inflammation.

Oral Infections & Immune Suppression: A weakened immune system heightens susceptibility to chronic oral infections, worsening systemic inflammation.

Biocompatible Restorations: Dr. James Linkous, an expert in biologic prosthodontics, ensures non-toxic, immune-safe dental materials to prevent immune activation.

Our integrative approach helps restore oral health while supporting immune function, reducing systemic inflammation.

Common questions

  • How does oral health affect autoimmune diseases?

    Oral inflammation and infections can worsen systemic autoimmune responses. Treating gum disease, removing toxins, and using biocompatible materials helps reduce immune burden.

  • Why is biologic dentistry better for autoimmune patients?

    Biologic dentistry eliminates immune stressors, prioritizing non-toxic materials and minimally invasive treatments that support immune function.

  • Can gum disease trigger autoimmune flare-ups?

    Yes. Research links periodontal disease to rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and thyroid disorders. Laser therapy and biologic treatments help reduce bacterial load and inflammation.

  • Why does Tetrahealth™ collaborate with autoimmune specialists?

    Autoimmune disorders require multidisciplinary care. We work with your existing doctors and integrative specialists to align dental treatments with your overall health plan.
