Holistic Health Products for All

Holistic wellness is sometimes seen as an inaccessible form of care. Holistic treatments and products can be hard to find, but access to them should never be restricted based on location, demographics, or affluence. Thankfully, this problem is becoming less relevant as more stores begin stocking holistic products Holistic health products, which were often reserved for expensive online shopping or limited boutique releases in the past, are becoming more accessible as drugstores and big-box stores around the country jump on the holistic health train. Chains like Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, and Target have started stocking their shelves with notable holistic staples, especially those related to digestive and immune health. You can even find cleaner beauty and cosmetic products from brands like Burt’s Bees and Tom’s of Maine in many of these stores. Safer baby products, like cough syrup made with all-natural ingredients and diapers from brands like The Honest Company, are being placed in the eyesight of more people everywhere. With this shift in availability, customers have more options than ever before when shopping for holistic care. These stores have an incredible opportunity to bring alternative wellness to areas that haven’t experienced it. Citizens in small, rural, or distressed communities where specialty stores and holistic medical practices are scarce can now explore more options. And if more options at reasonable prices result in healthier and happier people, then that’s great for us all. Your teeth actually help support your lips. If your teeth aren’t in their correct orientation, it can alter the look of your face. Over time, you may notice a change in the way your lips are shaped or even how your nose sits on your face! It just goes to show how important your teeth are. Another thing to look for are lines angled downward on each side of your lips. If these lines are present, your jawmay be too far closed. As a result, it’s compressing your lips and cheeks, which means your bite may need to be corrected. Additionally, take a close look at your teeth. Look for stains and wear. If they appear shorter or more crowded than they did in the past, these can be signs of clenching, grinding, or eating foods too hard for your teeth.

Does Anti-Aging Dentistry Make Sense for You?

Over time, our teeth age. After years of wear and tear from consuming popular beverages like coffee, tea, wine, and smoothies, our teeth begin to lose their luster. They stain, wear down, and may even chip. If not addressed, these problems can get worse, and issues such as chipping or cracking can lead to more serious complications like tooth decay. Our teeth are resilient, but with a combination of time and lifestyle choices, this resilience only goes so far. But you don’t have to compromise. You can turn back the clock thanks to advances in anti-aging dentistry. Here are a few examples offered by Dr. Maddahi:

• •

Teeth whitening Porcelain veneers

• •

Infinity Veneers Dental implants

There is a solution for every kind of issue, and you can determine if anti-aging dentistry makes sense for you right at home! While looking in the mirror or at photographs of your teeth, here are a few things to consider. While smiling, look at the profile of your front teeth. Are they straight up and down or do they slope inward? If they slope inward, you may be losing support in your lips. This can lead to the development of vertical lines around the mouth (which is another sign your teeth may need to be realigned).

These are just a few examples you can use to determine if you are a candidate for anti-aging dentistry. Every issue listed above can be corrected with anti-aging dentistry. If you aren’t sure or you have more questions about Dr. Maddahi’s innovative approach to anti-aging dentistry, you can call us and set up a consultation at 888.597.9470.
