Nutritional Counseling

The composition of food has a direct influence on the development of diseases within the oral cavity. Dental caries is one of the most common diet-related diseases. A healthy diet is also a prerequisite for healthy development and maintenance of the masticatory system. Nutrients regulate the mineralization of teeth and influence saliva composition. In addition, we now know a great deal about the interactions between oral diseases and significant general diseases. A change in diet not only helps against gingivitis / periodontitis, but also as prevention or therapy of systemic diseases associated with periodontitis. Whether for diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease: There are many examples in which an adapted diet can help.
Nutritional counseling is an integral part of our holistic practice concept.

A tooth-healthy diet is an important part of dental prophylaxis, along with careful oral hygiene and brushing technique. Scientific studies show that nutrition and oral health have a synergistic effect. Early practice is the key to healthy eating and living. The foundation for eating habits and taste memory is laid as early as childhood. A varied diet promotes dental health, general well-being, immunity and positive development. With our nutritional counseling and special focus on dental and oral health, we help you with food choices. Your children learn through play what is healthy for them. This lays the foundation for healthy eating habits even in young children. At the same time, we also increase the successful course of orthodontic treatment.
Setting the right course favors a healthy lifestyle in adulthood and also prevents the development of diseases. A balanced diet promotes well-being, the immune system, healthy development and also that of the teeth.

Nutritional counseling and nutritional therapy as a complementary and therapeutic approach within the framework of periodontitis prophylaxis and therapy.
Did you know that many diseases, such as obesity and diabetes, have a significant impact on the oral cavity, increase the risk of developing caries and periodontitis, and that inflammatory diseases in the oral cavity affect the overall organism? Accompanying nutritional counseling can positively influence periodontal and general health factors. The focus here is not only on oral health in isolation, but we look at the person as a whole.
A low-sugar, plant-based diet rich in micronutrients, fiber, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids modulates the immune system. An anti-inflammatory diet can have a beneficial effect on general medical and dental health.

In the nutritional therapy consultation, we highlight the variety of foods and their respective influence on oral health in a direct or indirect way. We do not only deal with the sugar or acid content in food, but also show which products have a positive effect on oral and general health and which delicious dishes can be created from them. Using nutritional protocols, we look at everyday eating in relation to the (oral) health situation. Together we develop a strategy and look for solutions that focus on their eating history. This ensures that with a change of diet, the moments of pleasure do not disappear from their lives and they can keep or rediscover the joy of eating.
With our professional nutritional counseling and the special focus on dental and oral health, we expand our comprehensive range of services. However, the consultation is basically independent of any dental treatment in our clinic. If you are interested or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
