Infected Foci in the Mouth and the Importance of CRP
Inflammatory markers (such as CRP) can detect and eliminate hidden foci of infection, helping the body heal more easily and restore balance.
Hidden sources of infection can reside in the mouth, often without causing any pain.
These may include dead teeth, inflamed gums, and poorly healed bone areas after tooth extractions. Such foci can gradually trigger a chronic burden on the immune system and affect the health of the entire body.
One of the indicators of infection in the body is CRP (C-reactive protein), which can be measured with a simple blood test. Elevated CRP levels often indicate that an inflammatory process is taking place in the body, even if no symptoms are yet felt. The cause can often be found in the oral cavity — for example, in an infected tooth root, jawbone, or gum tissue.
At our Center, within the scope of biological dentistry, we take a holistic approach to treatment. This means that we view the teeth in connection with your overall health, immune system, and well-being. We regularly measure vitamin D3, Omega 3, and with the help of 3D X-ray imaging (CBCT) and laboratory analysis of inflammatory markers (such as CRP), we can detect and eliminate hidden foci of inflammation, helping the body heal more easily and restore balance.
Our goal is simple: "Healthy mouth – healthy body."
