Sometimes, the mouth can hide silent sources of infection that we don’t necessarily feel as pain — yet they can have a significant impact on the health of the entire body.
Common hidden causes include dead teeth, chronically inflamed gums, and areas of poor bone healing after tooth extraction.
These infected foci can place a constant burden on the immune system, gradually contributing to chronic fatigue, systemic inflammation, or other health issues.
🔬 What Does CRP tell us?
One of the key indicators of inflammation in the body is CRP (C-reactive protein) — a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation.
It can be easily measured with a simple blood test, and elevated CRP levels often indicate that an inflammatory process is active, even when we don’t yet feel any symptoms.
In many cases, the source of infection lies in the oral cavity — such as an inflamed tooth root, residual infection in the jawbone, or gum disease.
🌿 The holistic approach of biological dentistry
At Center Hočevar, we approach every treatment with the understanding that oral health is deeply connected to overall well-being. Within the framework of biological dentistry, we focus on comprehensive diagnostics, which include:
measuring vitamin D3 & Omega 3 levels,
3D CBCT imaging of the jaw,
and laboratory testing of inflammatory markers such as CRP.
This integrated approach allows us to detect and eliminate hidden sources of infection, support the immune system, and help the body heal naturally and restore balance.
💚 Our goal is simple:
Healthy mouth – healthy body.
Regular check-ups and preventive testing of inflammatory markers are essential steps toward maintaining long-term health and vitality.
📞 Book your preventive examination and check whether your mouth hides silent sources of inflammation.
