Micronutrients and nutrition in dentistry

Dear Patients,

A healthy mouth is always a reflection of a healthy body. In addition to oral hygiene and dental treatment, diet, micronutrients and lifestyle have a significant impact on the health of teeth, gums, bones and mucous membranes. At the Alpstein Clinic, our approach to biological and integrative dentistry takes these interrelationships into account and incorporates them into our treatment plan.

Why nutrition and micronutrients  are so important

Why nutrition and micronutrients are so important

An optimal supply of nutrients supports numerous processes in the oral cavity.

These include, in particular:

  • the stability of tooth structure and the prevention of tooth decay
  • periodontal health and the treatment of periodontitis
  • bone metabolism, for example in connection with implants or bone grafts
  • wound healing of the gums and bone following surgical procedures

Nutrition and metabolism thus directly influence the tissue’s ability to regenerate.

An anti-inflammatory diet  as a foundation

Our modern lifestyle presents the body with new challenges. Environmental stressors, chronic stress and highly processed foods can promote inflammatory processes and put a strain on the metabolism. An anti-inflammatory diet and the targeted supplementation of missing micronutrients can help to relieve the strain on the metabolism, the liver and the gut, and create favourable conditions for healing and regeneration.

Key principles include:

  • a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet with healthy fats
  • stable blood sugar regulation
  • natural, high-quality foods
  • a conscious choice of meals and meal frequency

Dr Kurt Mosetter’s Glycoplan, for example, can serve as a guide. In this guide, foods are classified according to their pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory properties.

Important micronutrients  in dentistry

Omega-3 fatty acids

regulates calcium metabolism, strengthens the immune system and supports bone mineralisation as well as the healing of implants.

Vitamin D₃

regulates calcium metabolism, strengthens the immune system and supports bone mineralisation as well as the healing of implants.

Vitamin K₂

regulates calcium distribution in the body, thereby supporting the stability of bones and teeth as well as vascular health.

Magnesium

acts as a cofactor for numerous enzymes and supports the bone matrix, cell regeneration and the activation of vitamin D.

Zinc

plays an important role in wound healing, collagen formation and the health of mucous membranes.

Selenium

has an antioxidant effect, supports the immune system and detoxification processes, and can reduce oxidative stress.

Vitamin C

has an antioxidant effect, is essential for the formation of collagen in the gums, connective tissue and bones, and promotes wound healing.

B vitamins

support energy production, nerve function and the regeneration of mucous membranes.

Lifestyle  as a factor in health

Alongside diet and micronutrients, lifestyle also plays a key role in the body’s ability to recover. The less stress, the better the body’s ability to regulate itself.

This includes:

  • regular exercise and strength training
  • stress management, for example through meditation or breathing techniques
  • a healthy balance between activity and rest
  • a consistent and adequate sleep pattern

Implementation  at the Alpstein Clinic

At the Alpstein Clinic, personalised perioperative optimisation of metabolism is an integral part of our treatment approach. Our aim is to provide targeted support for bone metabolism, wound healing and general well-being.

This can be particularly beneficial in the following cases:

  • Implantations
  • Bone and soft tissue augmentation
  • Extensive dental and jaw restoration
  • Wisdom tooth extractions
  • Cavitation surgery
  • Periodontitis treatments
  • Increased risk of caries
  • Preventive dental and bone protection

How we support you

  • personalised nutritional advice (e.g. based on the Glycoplan method)
  • creation of a personalised micronutrient profile
  • targeted lifestyle recommendations

Stage fourHarmonize

In order to bring body, mind and soul back into harmony, you need to accept and appreciate yourself. At the Alpstein Clinic, we offer you an ideal environment in which you can find yourself and recharge your batteries.

Stage threeRegenerate and stimulate

In this step, we promote recovery and stimulate the immune system: We stimulate the humoral and cellular defenses with a wide range of non-specific and specific immune stimulants, immune-boosting measures such as hyperthermia, infusions, ozone therapy and colon hydrotherapy. The stimulation and vitalization of all organs and physical structures are components of our holistic concept.

Next step

Stage twoDetox and relieve

We now concentrate on creating a balanced internal environment in the body, thereby creating the basis for successful healing. Important instruments here are dental cleansing, intestinal cleansing and detoxification of the organs. In this phase, we use blood plasma double membrane filtration (INUSpheresis® ) and holistic pain therapy and gradually reduce the use of conventional medicines that have many side effects.

Stage oneAnalyse causes

In the first step, we work with you to get to the bottom of the possible causes of your complaints. We examine possible interference fields, toxic loads, environmental factors, deficiencies, malnutrition and stress factors. This is followed by a comprehensive physical and dental examination. This is followed by further diagnostic measures such as blood, stool, saliva and urine tests, thermography and other tools.
