💡 Did you know many root canals can be avoided?
This young man was told he needed one after another dentist removed part of a cavity and placed a temporary filling close to the nerve. Instead, we carefully cleaned out the decay, used ozone to kill bacteria, and placed a strong filling — no root canal needed! 🙌
The bigger picture? His growth in his early 20s outpaced his nutrient levels, leading to multiple cavities. Now, he’s rebuilding minerals from the inside and outside to keep his teeth strong for years to come. 🦷✨

Not all wisdom tooth removals are the same.
Most are done too quickly—and not completely—leaving behind hidden jaw infections called cavitations that can cause problems years later.

At Total Care Dental, we do things differently.

✨ Biological Wisdom Tooth Removal
✔️ Full removal of the tooth and surrounding tissue
🌿 Ozone therapy to naturally disinfect
🩸 PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) from your teen’s own blood to reduce inflammation and speed healing
😌 Comfortable sedation options

This isn’t just about pulling teeth—it’s about protecting your child’s health now and in the future with whole-body focused care.

You got your cone beam CT scan—but are you asking the right questions? 🧐

Before you leave, be sure to ask your provider these 3 essential questions. They could uncover silent threats hiding in your mouth—and help prevent serious health problems down the road.

🧠 1. What does this show about metals in my mouth?
Metal fillings like mercury amalgam can leak toxins and disrupt your body’s energy. Knowing what’s there helps us plan safe removal or management.

🦠 2. Are there any signs of hidden infections?
Infections can hide under root canals, in the jawbone (cavitations), or around old dental work—quietly weakening your immune system. This scan can reveal them early.

💨 3. What does this show about my airway?
An obstructed airway can cause sleep apnea, fatigue, and heart issues. Your 3D scan reveals structural problems that impact how you breathe—especially at night.

✨ Your health is in your hands—get answers, not just images.

It starts in the gut—and it shows up in your smile.

When your body struggles to absorb nutrients, your teeth pay the price. One patient’s lifelong gut issues led to multiple root canals, chronic infections, and autoimmune challenges. 💔

Her story reminds us that true dental health begins with whole-body wellness.

At Total Care Dental, we help you nourish your gut, strengthen your immune system, and protect your smile—naturally. 🌿🦷

Told you need a root canal? Let’s take a second look.
Root canals leave the tooth dead and can trap harmful bacteria—but there’s a better way.

At Total Care Dental, we catch cavities early and use ozone therapy to naturally sterilize the tooth before placing a biocompatible filling—no root canal needed.

🦷 Save the tooth
🌿 Support whole-body health
🧬 Preserve vitality

This is modern biological dentistry that puts your health first.

Menopause doesn’t just change your hormones—it changes your mouth, too.

Many women experience dry mouth, burning gums, increased tooth decay, and even gum recession during this stage of life. Why? Because lower estrogen affects your saliva, hydration, and even the strength of your jawbone.

These symptoms are real—and they’re all connected.

At Total Care Dental & Wellness, we understand the powerful link between your mouth, body, and hormones. We’re here to support you through every stage of life with care that sees the whole picture.

💚 Your health journey matters. Let’s take the next step—together.

🦷 Would you keep a tooth if it was quietly hurting your immune system?

That’s what one of our 81-year-old patients had to decide when we found a hidden infection in her old root canal tooth.

She wasn’t in pain—but the abscess we discovered was silently draining her immune system and impacting her healthspan (the quality of life, not just how long you live).

Infections like this don’t stay in your mouth. They affect your energy, increase inflammation, and slow healing throughout the body.

She didn’t remove the tooth for vanity—she removed it for vitality.

At Total Care Dental & Wellness, we uncover what others miss—so you can truly feel your best.

👶🦷 Thumb sucker or pacifier lover at home? This one’s for you!

Hi, I’m Dr. T from Total Care Dental & Wellness—and yep, that’s me in this photo. I sucked my thumb until I was about 8 years old, and you can already see changes in my mouth at just 3 or 4.

These habits may seem harmless, but they can lead to:
➡️ Crowded teeth
➡️ Improper tongue posture
➡️ Narrow airway space
➡️ Bite issues

The earlier we catch it, the better we can guide your child’s growth in the right direction. 💪

If you're noticing these signs at home, we’re here to help! Let’s get your child back on track together. 💙

😣 She was frustrated—and in pain.
Her lower jaw hurt constantly, and for years, multiple dentists told her:
🗣️ “There’s nothing wrong.”

But today, she came to us — and we listened. 👂💛

She had:
🔺 Pain radiating up the side of her face
🔺 Swollen lymph nodes
🔺 No relief, and no answers

On her Cone Beam CT scan, we saw what others missed:
⚠️ Signs of an abscess around the root
⚠️ Thickened bone — her body trying to wall off an infection

We ran a vitality test on her teeth.
🦷 All were normal… except one. No response at all.
That tooth was dead — and had probably been that way for years.

💥 The pain was real. The infection was real. And now, we’re taking action.
That tooth is coming out and will be replaced with a biocompatible ceramic implant for a safe, healthy solution.

If you’ve been told “there’s nothing wrong” but still feel something’s off… don’t give up.
We believe you — and we look deeper. 🩻✨

😷 Swollen tonsils? Don’t rush to get them removed just yet!

Just because your tonsils are enlarged doesn’t mean they have to come out. 👎
Here’s what you can do instead 👇

🧠 Step 1: Find the root cause.
Swelling could be due to an infection in your head or neck — and a Cone Beam CT scan can help us see what’s really going on. 🩻

💡 Step 2: Reduce the inflammation.
We use a laser procedure called NightLase that gently shrinks the tonsils and gets them out of the way — no surgery required! ✨

✅ Try these first.
✅ Keep your tonsils.
✅ Support your whole-body health.

Struggling with CPAP? You’re not alone.
This patient was told it was “just sleep apnea”—but the real issue was a mouth too small for his tongue. Every night, he felt like he was suffocating. Sound familiar?

At Living Well with Dr. Michelle, we look deeper.
➡️ Obstructed airways
➡️ Mouth-breathing
➡️ Gum inflammation from oxygen deprivation

If CPAP makes you anxious or claustrophobic, there are other natural solutions.
Next step? Book a cone beam CT scan to see what’s really happening in your airway—and learn how to reclaim restful sleep without relying solely on machines.
