Before this patient joined Origin Dental Wellness, she was convinced a root canal was the best decision for her dying tooth. When a tooth dies, there is no longer blood flow through the root structure so even though a root canal is performed, it does NOT keep the tooth alive. Everything that kept the tooth alive (blood flow, nerves, immunity support) is gone and you are left with a purified latex-filled root holding on to either a dead and darkening natural crown or a lab created crown. The top picture shows a crown-capped root canal with gum recession exposing the necrotic root.

Naturally, this patient wasn't happy with her smile once the recession occurred exposing her necrotic root. Additionally, having been diagnosed with cancer, she wanted NOTHING to do with leaving that dead tooth in her mouth creating even more opportunity for her body to react negatively.

The bottom picture is our now cancer FREE patient and her new smile with a biocompatible dental implant.

Care about your heart? Start with your mouth.

It’s American Heart Month, and at Origin Dental Wellness, we don’t treat teeth in isolation. We understand the mouth–body connection—all of it. Your oral health isn’t just about a nice smile; it’s a powerful indicator of what’s happening throughout your body.

Harmful oral bacteria don’t stay put. They can enter the bloodstream and are strongly linked to serious systemic conditions that impact the heart, including blood clots, heart disease, strokes, arterial inflammation, and atherosclerosis—just to name a few.

So, if you’re celebrating Heart Month, do it in a way that actually matters. Take your dental health seriously. And trust a dental team that sees the bigger picture—because your heart deserves nothing less. ❤️

Each tooth is related to an acupuncture meridian which is related to various organs, tissues and glands in the body on this particular meridian or "energy highway." This connection can often indicate your overall health and wellness by reviewing your dental condition. If a person has a weak internal organ, the condition of the associated meridian tooth could make it considerably more problematic.

It is VERY common for mercury amalgam fillings to expand and contract with fluctuations in temperature. That is what fractured this patient’s wisdom tooth.

Mercury is toxic and this poison is recognized as a chemical of major concern because it poses a dangerous threat to public health.
Mercury vapors are continuously emitted from dental mercury amalgam fillings and are absorbed and retained in the body, particularly in the brain, kidney, liver, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract.

Dentists that don’t use silver amalgam material may be considered mercury-free, but NOT necessarily mercury safe. Origin Dental is BOTH your mercury FREE dentist and mercury SAFE dentist in Oklahoma as recognized by the IAOMT | International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology

Call 918.74.SMILE to schedule safely removing those toxic mercury fillings.

Big smiles over here 💕

Jensen (and Jake) just welcomed their first baby into the world. Mom and baby are doing great, and we couldn’t be happier for their growing family.

Congrats from ALL of us — sleep when you can and snuggle every second.

If anyone happens to be a hygienist or know a hygienist that could fill in from time to time for the next 3 months, send us a message or give us a call 918.74.SMILE 💜💜 (our patients are fantastic).

The top image is a traditional dental radiograph (the ones taken in most dental offices)
The bottom image was taken with our CBCT (Cone Beam)

While traditional dental radiographs are still useful for early detection of cavities, the cone beam CT scan is state-of-the-art equipment useful for early detection of infection. If the infection is detected early, once it is treated, healing can occur much faster and easier. This makes the cone beam CT scan the standard of care at Origin Dental Wellness.

It is an invaluable tool for early detection of dental infections. If your dentist isn't using a cone beam, what are they missing?

Straight teeth aren’t about vanity — they’re about function and health. 👏

At Origin Dental Wellness, we care deeply about teeth alignment because it impacts way more than your smile. When teeth are properly aligned, they’re easier to keep clean, which means healthier gums and less inflammation in the body overall. Crowded or misaligned teeth? They tend to trap plaque, stress the jaw, and wear down faster than they should.

Alignment also plays a big role in how your bite works, how your jaw feels, and even how well you breathe at night. When everything lines up the way it’s supposed to, your mouth works with your body—not against it.

This isn’t about chasing “perfect.” It’s about setting you up for long-term oral health, comfort, and overall wellness. Straight teeth just happen to be a really important piece of that puzzle. 🧩🦷
