Why Your Breath, Jaw & Sleep Matter More Than You Think — Especially in Texas Towns Like Ours
It might start with a smile. But it rarely ends there.
When we talk about health in Stephenville or Eastland, most folks think about clean eating, getting enough sleep, or walking the pasture before sundown. We talk about what we put in our bodies — but not always how it gets there, or how our mouths might be telling us something long before a diagnosis does.
That’s why at Dental Excellence, Dr. LaDuque doesn’t just care about teeth. He cares about breathing. About sleep. About the alignment of your jaw and the energy you wake up with.
The Hidden Connection Between the Mouth and Whole Health
You might not know it, but your mouth is a window to your body. Gum inflammation can signal heart disease. Mouth breathing can reduce oxygen to your brain at night. And jaw development in children can affect everything from posture to sleep patterns.
This is where whole health dentistry steps in.
