Dental Distress Syndrome

Because you own or have inquired about the Q1000 laser system I know that, like myself, you have an interest in whole health. Dr. Larry Lytle introduced me to you last month, but in case you missed it, my name is Dr. Kelly Lytle and I am a dental physician practicing integrative whole body dental medicine. Many laser users come for treatment through our “”Destination Dentistry Program” in order to eliminate “Dental Distress” that interferes with the body’s ability to maintain “homeostasis”.
The body is designed to maintain “homeostasis” or balance. However, when the body can no longer adapt and compensate to its stressors then it experiences….”dis-ease.” One of the worst offenders to the body comes in the form of Dental Distress Syndrome or ”DDS”. Why? Because it is a constant, 24/7,structural insult that triggers neurological, chemical, hormonal and muscular imbalances. That is why the symptoms are far reaching and can include;
• Fatigue…overweight….lethargy….depression…loss of libido
• Headaches…migraines…chronic neck , back and shoulder pain
• Ringing ears….sinusitis….fingers fall asleep at night
• Jaw pain… facial pain….popping….grinding….clenching
• Snoring….sleep apnea...insomnia…restless leg…daytime fatigue
• High blood pressure….diabetes….stroke.

“DDS” occurs when there is an imbalance in the jaw-to-skull relationship. It is estimated to affect over 80% of our population. Why so many? Because as a species we no longer have room for all of our teeth and we are constantly bombarded with all kinds of toxic stimuli …starting at birth.
These two main things creates a cascade of events that goes something like this… our immune system is put on overdrive early on (sympathetic dominance sets in)… the tonsils and adenoids become enlarged (allergies and delayed hypersensitivities) ….this block off the airway (lack of O2 effects everything!)…the body opens the airway by extending the chin forward & tilting the head up (cervical vertebra rotate & compress brain stem) and by breathing through the mouth (lack of nitric oxide)…tongue no longer is pushing on top jaw so it collapses in size (crowded teeth) ... now, the muscles connecting the lower jaw have to contract and pull the lower jaw up and back squishing it inside the top jaw that is too little (malocclusion, snoring)….this causes the chronic compression of the jaw joints (TMJ clicking, grating) and chronic muscle imbalances in the head, neck and shoulders (pain!) ...these overactive muscles pull on the bones (chiropractic adjustments don’t hold) … and on and on it goes.
