Description

…In an age of specialized medicine, doctors often follow this principle: We treat what we know. Cardiologists focus on the heart, neurologists deal with the nervous system, and dentists-like the rest-treat teeth. This may work for “simple” problems, but sometimes what seems simple is only the beginning of a far more complex story.

In his new book Dr. Konstantin Ronkin, DMD, LVIF, FICCMO, MICCMO, PhD, one of the founders and president of the Boston Institute of Aesthetic Dentistry and dental clinics in Boston, Moscow, St. Petersburg tries the different approach. What if we saw the mouth as part of a single, interconnected system, extending far beyond the jaws into your entire body? What if, instead of merely fixing dental symptoms, we searched for their root causes, often located elsewhere in the body? And what if problems in seemingly unrelated parts of the body originated in the mouth? This brings us to the core idea of this book: the right doctor should not address dental problems in isolation but treat you as a whole person.

How to Find the Right Doctor will change the way you think about dentistry and answer questions such as: How might dental issues be linked to chronic headaches? Could your snoring be a sign of a serious health problem? Can a misaligned jaw shorten your life? What can anti-aging dentistry do to help you look and feel younger?

But most importantly, you’ll learn how to choose the right doctor — the decision that will lead to a healthier, longer, and happier life.
