Welcome to Howe Dental's Social Services: Where Better Oral Health Meets Better Mental Health
At Howe Dental, we are excited to introduce a new dimension to our commitment to your well-being – our dedicated Social Service Worker. We firmly believe that better oral health is intricately connected to better mental health. As your trusted dental care provider in downtown Vancouver, we understand the unique challenges that urban living can pose, and that's why we've taken a holistic approach to your care.
Unveiling the Mind-Body Connection
Research has shown that the state of your mental health can significantly impact your oral health. Stress, anxiety, and other emotional factors can manifest in various ways, including teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, and even poor oral hygiene habits. At Howe Dental, we're here to address these concerns head-on.
Comprehensive Care for Total Wellness
Our Social Service Worker is well-versed in the intricate relationship between mental and oral health. Here's how we integrate this understanding into your care:
Stress Management for Bruxism: Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is a common issue often linked to stress and anxiety. Our Social Service Worker collaborates with our dental team to provide effective stress management strategies, complemented by custom night guards to protect your teeth.
Personalized Counseling: We offer confidential counseling sessions to address any emotional factors that may be affecting your oral health. Together, we'll work on managing stressors and developing coping mechanisms that contribute to both your mental well-being and your smile.
Tailored Treatment Plans: Our approach to treatment considers your complete well-being. If you're struggling with oral health issues rooted in stress, our Social Service Worker and dental professionals will collaborate to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses both aspects.
Urban Living, Enhanced Care
As a downtown Vancouver dental clinic, we recognize the unique demands of city life. The fast-paced environment, work pressures, and bustling lifestyle can take a toll on your mental health – and subsequently, your oral health. Our social service is designed to cater to the specific needs of urban residents, helping you navigate the challenges while maintaining a healthy smile.
