Product Description:
 
Your Mouth Has a Lot to Say, Even if You're Not Talking. The mouth is one of the organs in the body that is the least understood by the general public, yet one of the most important. It effects our heart, our immune system, chronic illness such as diabetes, and makes an important impact on our self confidence. Dentist Flora Stay, felt it was time to help everyone, especially baby-boomers who are concerned about their health, to get a better understanding of the mouth connection to overall health. Having an integrative health approach, "Secret Gateway to Health" covers conventional treatment, alternative approaches and how to partner with your dentist to bring about health of your mouth. Dr. Stay, being an educator (professor at U.S.C. School of Dentistry), and a scientist, the book exposes fake treatments and debunks myths, yet recommends alternative treatments that do work. Even toothpaste is discussed and why many have a warning on the back.

5 out of 5 stars.  Excellent Book!, April 11, 2008
As a family physician, we get very little, if any, training and information on oral health. We definitely don't get training on how oral health can affect the entire body. Dr. Flora Stay's book is an excellent resource for me in treating my patients. Now I take a closer look at my patients oral health and I realized that those patients with many health problems, also have poor dental hygiene and health. This book has given me the knowledge to inform my patients of proper dental treatment that will ultimately improve their overall health. I recommend this book to all of my patients. This is a great resource not only for physicians, but the general public as well. It is very easy to read and understand for everyone. We can all improve our overall health just by reading this book and making the changes that Dr. Stay recommends.

5 out of 5 stars.  Excellent Health Resource!, April 3, 2008
This book, written by a dentist, discusses an important, little known subject: the connection of the health of the mouth to the entire body. If the mouth is not properly maintained, it's difficult to maintain total health and well being. I know this to be true because I suffered from gum disease. Once I discovered (thanks to my dentist) that I had gum issues, other health problems cleared up as well. After reading this book, I was astonished at the many health problems that stem from improper dental care.
This oustanding book is nothing to sneeze at. The author provides helpful anecdotes, useful information on products to purchase as well as excellent suggestions backed up by research. It's mostly written in a conversational manner, making it easy to read and understand. It offers a wealth of information. I greatly appreciate books written by professionals who encourage patients to explore alternative, less invasive means of treatment. This is just such a book.
