The most unique feature of Mind Your Mouth is that we acknowledge and understand the connection between your oral health and the rest of your body. For some patients, something as simple as altering their diet could help them avoid needing another root canal. Our goal is to point out these underlying factors and help you improve your total health and wellness by addressing them, which is why we offer a wide array of wellness services for our South Portland, ME dental patients in addition to high-quality dental care.

It has been shown to help train your mind and redirect your thoughts as well as develop healthy sleep patterns. In the end, a healthy frame of mind can have a drastic impact on your oral and physical health.
Nutritional Counseling
Many of our patients are surprised to learn just how much of an impact their diet can have on their oral health. That’s why we’re offering nutritional counseling to make sure that you get the vitamins and nutrients necessary to not only keep your gums and teeth healthy, but also make you feel great and energized. Whether you’d like to overhaul your daily diet and start fresh or tweak a few of your snack-choices to improve your health, you’ll be able to benefit from our nutritional counseling!
Energy Healing
Have you ever heard of reiki? It’s a Japanese energy healing technique that more people are turning to in order to improve their mental and physical wellness. Many patients get reiki treatments to address mental health problems such as depression, to reduce chronic pain, and to generally enhance their overall quality of life. During your treatment, you’ll likely feel a sense of relaxation and peace overcome you, helping you get in touch with your physical body. Many patients even fall asleep during their appointment, but don’t worry! You’ll still be able to get all of the benefits even if you doze off.
