LET’S REPAIR FROM THE INSIDE Introducing the Power of Exosome Therapy!

For years, exosomes and exosome therapy have been used to promote healing and protect oral health. Recently, exosome therapy has become increasingly popular in dentistry as a regenerative form of medicine that helps create new cells for repair and healing. But what are exosomes, and how do they work?

Place a number in every cell in the grid, using the numbers 1–9. You can only use each number once in each row, each column, and each of the 3x3 boxes.

Exosomes are tiny membrane-bound particles produced by cells in our bodies that contain DNA, RNA, and protein. They can be found in our saliva, urine, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid and are responsible for communication among cells. In our bodies, exosomes can assist in managing degenerative conditions and can aid in tissue repair. They can also help slow down aging effects, reduce inflammation, and promote quicker healing in our bodies and mouths. Let’s take a deeper look at some of the key benefits of exosomes. REDUCING INFLAMMATION Inflammation is one way our bodies fight off infections or harmful exterior factors, but chronic inflammation can also be detrimental to our tissue and DNA and can even lead to internal scarring. Exosomes can reduce dangerous inflammation by sending a message to repair and reset inflamed cells while reducing chronic pain. IMPROVING METABOLIC FUNCTION When our metabolic functions slow, weight gain, poor muscle tone, and lethargy can take over. Exosomes help invigorate your cells to help your body to metabolize nutrients from the food you eat and to produce more energy. BOOSTING TISSUE REGENERATION The body loses bone mass, muscle mass, and tissue elasticity as we age. To give it a boost and help combat aging, exosomes can step in to reverse the process. They can send messages to the tissue cells to reverse regeneration and promote new tissue growth. Here at Wrigleyville Dental, we use an oral spray to assist in reversing the effects of periodontal disease and tissue damage within your mouth to reveal systemic results.
