What is Functional Dentistry?

Functional dentistry goes beyond traditional dental care by focusing on the root causes of oral health issues rather than just treating symptoms. This whole-body approach recognizes that oral health is a reflection of systemic health—meaning that dental problems can impact overall wellness, and vice versa.

By integrating functional principles into our practice, we aim to:

  • Prevent disease rather than just treat it.
  • Support the body’s natural healing abilities through personalized care.
  • Enhance overall well-being by addressing the connection between oral and systemic health.

At Fresh Breath Center NYC, our goal is to help patients achieve lasting oral and whole-body health through cutting-edge, evidence-based functional dentistry.

Comprehensive Oral Evaluations

Your journey to optimal oral and whole-body health begins with a thorough functional dental evaluation. During this comprehensive assessment, we:

  • Examine your teeth, gums, and soft tissues to assess overall oral health.
  • Discuss your medical history, dietary habits, and lifestyle factors that may impact your dental wellness.
  • Utilize advanced diagnostic tools, such as digital X-rays, three dimensional cone beam technology and intraoral cameras, to detect underlying issues that may not be visible during a standard exam.

This holistic assessment allows us to identify potential concerns early and create a proactive plan for long-term oral health.

Personalized Treatment Plans

At Fresh Breath Center NYC, we believe that dental care should never be one-size-fits-all. After your evaluation, Dr. Scott H. Froum and his team will design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Whether you require:

  • Preventive care to maintain strong, healthy teeth and gums.
  • Restorative treatments for existing dental concerns.
  • Advanced procedures to address complex oral health conditions.

Our approach ensures that we not only resolve immediate concerns but also support long-term wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions About Functional Dentistry

Traditional dentistry focuses on treating symptoms like cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay, often without addressing the underlying causes. Functional dentistry takes a holistic, preventive approach, considering how oral health connects to overall well-being. It integrates factors like nutrition, airway health, and inflammation to promote long-term wellness rather than just short-term fixes.

Yes. Functional dentistry looks beyond teeth and gums to identify systemic factors contributing to TMJ disorders, periodontal disease, and persistent bad breath. By addressing inflammation, airway dysfunction, and gut health, functional dentistry provides long-lasting relief for these conditions.

Many functional dentistry treatments—such as preventive care, diagnostics, and restorative procedures—are covered by insurance. However, some holistic therapies, nutritional counseling, and alternative treatments may not be. Our team can help navigate your insurance benefits and explore flexible payment options.

Your diet plays a major role in oral and overall health. Nutrient deficiencies, high sugar intake, and inflammatory foods can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and bacterial imbalances. Functional dentistry includes nutritional counseling to help patients adopt a diet that supports strong teeth, healthy gums, and balanced oral bacteria.

Anyone seeking a more personalized, preventive approach to oral health can benefit from functional dentistry. It is especially valuable for:

  • Patients with chronic gum disease, TMJ disorders, acid reflux, or autoimmune conditions.
  • Individuals struggling with persistent bad breath or gut-related oral health issues.

Those looking for a natural, whole-body approach to dental care.

At Fresh Breath Center NYC, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to assess oral health, including:

  • Digital X-rays & 3D imaging for precise diagnosis.
  • Oral and gut microbiome testing to analyze bacterial imbalances.
  • Salivary diagnostics to detect pH levels, inflammation, and gut-related issues affecting oral health.

Functional dentistry focuses on early detection and prevention rather than just treating problems after they occur. By addressing risk factors like chronic inflammation, airway obstruction, and bacterial imbalances, functional dentistry helps prevent cavities, gum disease, TMJ pain, and even systemic health conditions linked to oral health.
