Chronic Disease

Chronic Illness | Biological Dentistry + Integrative Medicine | BDS
Chronic Illness Profile

Less inflammatory noise.
More functional capacity.

If you’re living with a chronic condition, your mouth may be sustaining part of the background inflammatory “noise.” Our approach may help reduce it: we address oral foci, restore the microbiome, and coordinate an integrative plan with you.

Is this for you? Chronic illness BDS
Is this for you?

This profile is ideal if…

  • You’re living with diabetes, autoimmunity, metabolic syndrome, chronic fatigue or persistent pain and are looking for complementary support.
  • You have sensitive gums or occasional bleeding and “everything seems normal,” but you sense something isn’t quite right.
  • You want a plan that may help reduce your background inflammatory load and improve your functional capacity.
  • You value coordination between biological dentistry and integrative medicine.
Mouth and chronic illness

The connection that often goes unnoticed

Oral foci and microbiome imbalances in the mouth can contribute to sustained low-grade inflammation. By reducing these local “noises,” the system may respond better to your goals and treatments.

Key idea: fewer chronic irritants → less background noise → the body can function more stably. First we remediate, then we restore and optimise.
What we address

Common areas we treat as a team

Metabolic / Diabetes

Oral remediation and appropriate habits may support overall control and daily comfort.

Autoimmunity

Reducing oral irritants and restoring oral balance may help stabilise periods and symptoms.

Cardiovascular

A calm mouth and stable tissues may support a more balanced systemic context.

Chronic fatigue / Long COVID

Phased approach that may help reduce background physiological friction.

Digestive

The oral–gut connection suggests that restoring oral balance may support digestive function.

Chronic pain

A stable oral environment and adjusted habits may help improve tolerance and rest.

The process

How we work

In stages, with decisions aimed at delivering real value. We adapt the plan to your response and medical context.

1

In-depth evaluation

History and goals; oral examination; non-invasive panels when they add clarity.

2

Remediation

Periodontal and focal control; regenerative and tissue support when appropriate.

3

Restoration

Oral microbiome balance, nutritional foundation, sleep and stress management.

4

Follow-up

Reviews and adjustments; may help consolidate improvements at 12–16 weeks.

Diagnostics

We measure only what changes decisions

We prioritise tests that may add clarity and guide actions. No data overload, with focus on clinical utility.

Inflammatory panel (non-invasive)
Balance and response indicators
Oral dysbiosis panel
3D imaging only if indicated
Decision-oriented diagnostics
Supportive technology

Tools that may help depending on your case

We use these options when they add value to your goals. Not everything is for everyone, nor at the same time.

IHHT - mitochondrial support

IHHT

Intermittent hypoxia-hyperoxia training that may support cellular adaptation and recovery.

HBO - advanced oxygenation

HBO

Hyperbaric oxygenation that may support tissue healing in specific indications.

Laser biomodulation

Laser biomodulation

Tissue stimulation that may help with comfort and recovery time.

Realistic expectations

What you can expect

Direction, not promises

Our work may help reduce background inflammatory “noise” and improve your functional capacity. Changes depend on your starting point, adherence and medical context.

Follow-up

We review in stages (e.g., 12–16 weeks) to assess progress and decide whether to maintain, adjust or simplify the plan.
