As part of our holistic approach, we also look at problems that could be attributed to jaw function from alternative diagnostic angles. For example, tension and snoring can be caused by hyperacidity (acidosis). Increased susceptibility to tooth decay or gum disease can also be caused by acidosis. We test your acidity with a urine test (acid-base titration according to Dr. Sander). The samples obtained are sent to a specialist laboratory for analytical medicine for evaluation. Your dentist in Zell am Harmersbach draws conclusions from the measured values and, in conjunction with a doctor/specialist, gives you recommendations that are easy to implement as to how you can regulate your acid balance. The restored acid-base balance can also have a positive effect on any other existing complaints (joint pain, tiredness, etc.). Bookshops have a wide range of literature on this subject.
If you have any further questions, we will be happy to help you. You can make an appointment at our practice by calling 07835 9803800.
