Did you know that your dental health is intricately linked to your overall well-being? While most of us understand the importance of brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups, there's a whole realm of dental health that often goes unnoticed. Hidden infections, toxins, and poor oral hygiene practices can lead to chronic health issues that affect not only your mouth but your entire body. This is where the power of holistic and biological dentistry comes into play.
Understanding Holistic and Biological Dentistry:
Holistic and biological dentistry approaches oral health from a comprehensive perspective, considering the interconnections between the teeth, gums, airway, and the rest of the body. These approaches recognize that the health of our mouth affects the health of our entire system. They emphasize treating the root causes of dental issues rather than just addressing the symptoms.
The Role of Dental Infections and Toxins:

The Interplay Between Jaw Structure, Palate Formation, Airway Development, and the Development of Fibromyalgia is a complex
Fibromyalgia is characterized by chronic widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive impairments. While the exact cause of fibromyalgia remains unclear, research suggests that various factors, including jaw structure, palate formation, and airway development, may play a significant role in its development. This article aims to explore the intricate relationship between these factors and their potential impact on fibromyalgia.
Jaw Structure and Fibromyalgia: Jaw structure refers to the alignment and positioning of the jaw, including the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Studies have shown a link between jaw abnormalities, such as temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), and fibromyalgia. Patients with TMD often experience pain, muscle stiffness, and tenderness in the jaw area, which can contribute to the overall symptomatology of fibromyalgia....

Yesterday, in our Kitchen Behavior Training session, we had such a great conversation around brain health and realistic lifestyle tools proven to impact brain and mental health. Lifestyle Chef, Franklin discussed useful cooking and meal planning tips to help us increase foods and (especially healthy fats) that love us back! He also shared tips used to reduce inflammatory fats that may be hidden in common foods we consume.
Ruben Lespron, Registered Dietitian, opened the floor for the group to share their idea of balance when it comes to healthy foods versus foods that may be deemed as “bad,” such as sugar. With our mind-body medicine practitioner, Geny Moreno, we dove deep into unpacking our relationship with food and belief systems we have constructed in our minds that impact our intake of quality foods!
We also discussed the powerful impacts of having positive community involvement and meaningful relationship connections. Geny discussed how quality friendships and...
When walking through chronic illness or long lasting symptoms, the journey can begin to feel bleak and hopeless. When all hopes for healing disintegrate and questions are left unanswered, one can begin to define themselves by their disease rather than the beautifully complex human they are, that may be in a current state of imbalance. At TCLM we shift the focus from disease by providing compassionate care, understanding, and tools to guide patients along their healing process. We are determined to get to the root causes of symptoms, rather than simply masking or medicating them. We acknowledge that our members are a human first, and are experiencing more than just physical symptoms, but various emotional and spiritual implications that are either contributing to, or a result of lasting symptoms.
Dysautonomia is a medical condition that affects the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for regulating vital functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and...
