The oral-systemic connection: how your mouth impacts your whole body

If you’re struggling with fatigue, inflammation, or chronic illness—and no one’s found the answer—your mouth may be the missing link. At Tetrahealth Dentistry, we don’t just treat teeth. We uncover how oral issues like inflammation, infection, and toxic materials could be impacting your entire body. Through biologically focused diagnostics and biocompatible therapies, we help you heal at the root, so you can feel your best again—naturally.

Dr. Alex Volchonok: understanding the mouth-body connection

“Many chronic health issues have roots in the mouth—but they’re often overlooked. Our goal is to help patients finally connect the dots.”

— Dr. Alex Volchonok, Board-Certified Periodontist

KNOW WHAT’S SAFE FOR YOUR BODY

Biocompatibility testing: choose materials that heal, not harm

Not every dental material is right for every patient. Through advanced biocompatibility testing, we help you avoid toxic or reactive substances by identifying materials that support your body—not stress it. This means fewer complications, less inflammation, and greater peace of mind.

Whether it’s a filling, crown, or implant, you deserve care that protects your long-term health—not compromises it.

You shouldn’t have to choose between dental work and whole-body wellness.

WHAT’S IN YOUR SALIVA COULD BE IMPACTING YOUR HEALTH

Salivary testing: uncover inflammation before it becomes a disease

Your saliva holds clues to what’s going on beneath the surface. With OralDNA technology, we detect harmful bacteria and inflammation markers that could be fueling heart disease, autoimmune issues, or gum problems—long before symptoms appear.

With this insight, we can design targeted, biologic treatments to help you reduce risk, feel better, and take control of your long-term health.

The earlier you know, the better you can heal.

RECOVERY AND IMMUNE SUPPORT THAT WORKS FROM THE INSIDE OUT

IV therapy: faster healing. stronger immunity. Whole-body balance.

Post-treatment fatigue or inflammation doesn’t have to slow you down. With IV infusion therapy, we deliver vital nutrients—like antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals—directly into your bloodstream for rapid absorption and results.

Whether you’re healing from surgery or boosting immunity, IV therapy helps your body detox, recharge, and thrive.

Because real recovery happens from the inside out.

YOUR DIET COULD BE FUELING DENTAL AND SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATION

Functional nutrition screening: where whole-body health begins

Nutrition doesn’t just affect your waistline—it shapes your oral and systemic health. Our screenings evaluate metabolic imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammatory triggers that may be increasing your risk for gum disease, decay, and chronic illness.

We’ll help you connect your lifestyle to your symptoms—and create a plan that supports both oral health and whole-body vitality.

What you eat could be your most powerful medicine—or your biggest risk.

MANAGING CHRONIC ILLNESS WITH GENTLE, BIOLOGIC DENTISTRY

Autoimmune-informed dental care: reduce flares and restore balance

Autoimmune diseases like lupus, RA, and Sjögren’s often cause complex oral issues—and require extra caution during treatment. At Tetrahealth, we understand the sensitivity of these conditions. That’s why we use non-reactive materials, anti-inflammatory protocols, and personalized treatment plans to minimize triggers and support healing.

Dental care shouldn’t make your chronic illness worse—it should help you feel better.

THE ANCIENT SCIENCE OF HOW TEETH INFLUENCE THE BODY

Meridian dentistry: your mouth’s hidden influence on your organs

Every tooth is connected to an energy pathway in your body—linked to organs like the heart, lungs, and kidneys. When a tooth is infected, missing, or filled with toxic materials, it may disturb the health of that related system.

Through meridian-based assessments and safe biologic treatments, we help you restore harmony across your entire body—starting with your smile.
