OC Salt Therapy



OC Salt Therapy is the first Salt Therapy facility established in Orange County, and their results are incredible!

Salt Therapy is not extremely common, so you might be wondering what it is and how it works. Essentially, it is an alternative treatment in a salt room, which reproduces the unique microclimate found in natural salt caves.

How it works is a little trickier and involves more science. Dry aerosol micro-particles of salt are dispersed by a Halo generator into the salt room during a 45- minute session. The particles, measuring below 5 microns in diameter, penetrate deep into the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli. As the salt is inhaled it travels through the sinuses and respiratory tract - absorbing moisture, clearing mucus, killing bacteria, reducing inflammation, widening the airway passages, cleansing residual tar and foreign allergens, and improving your immune system. This treatment has been found to be extremely beneficial in the treatment of several respiratory disorders and skin conditions!!

The inspiration for OC Salt Therapy came when the owners, who both work in Western Medicine, took matters into their own hands when their 2 year old developed respiratory issues. They hopped on a plane to Romania to visit a salt mine close to Bucharest. After just two sessions of the salt therapy, their son's condition improved immensely, and he was able to sleep throughout the night without weazing. They were officially hooked on the results of salt therapy and decided to bring it to Orange County - so that you don't have to travel to Romania to see these results!

Natural Ways To Help Prevent Cavities!

B eyond good oral hygiene (brushing 2 minutes both in am & pm + flossing BEFORE the bedtime tooth-brushing), these 5 things can keep you decay free! * Xylitol is a natural sweetener that tastes similar to sugar.  6-10g/day can help prevent decay by fooling decay causing bacteria into thinking it is fruit sugar, and essentially starving the bacteria.  These bacteria also become less virulent with continued use over time.   *Water (and other carbohydrate-free beverages) should be your beverage of choice between meals. Enjoy your juices, milks, and even the occasional soda pop with your meal, when your teeth are already dirty.  If you are unable to brush your teeth after a meal, you should minimally rinse your mouth with water.  * Limit your frequency of eating to 3 meals a day plus 2-3 protein snacks like nuts and cheeses; these are anti- decay foods (nuts may be raw or roasted, but not honey - or sugar coasted). * Brush with baking soda ...

Bottle Rot

Sometimes bedtime can be a really struggle, and a bottle might seem like an easy solution. Unfortunately, putting a baby to bed with a bottle of milk or juice does more harm than good, because the easier bedtime comes at the expense of the baby’s oral health. Keeping those baby teeth healthy is crucial so that the adult teeth will have a better chance of coming in straight. In previous blogs we've highlighted the importance of limiting carbohydrate intake to meals to prevent adult teeth decay.  This idea is just as important for children as it is for adults!  Good oral health starts at a  young age, and it’s important we do everything possible to prevent tooth decay from the moment those baby teeth emerge.  What Is Bottle Rot? Prolonged exposure to the sugars in milk or juice  erodes the enamel on a baby or toddler’s teeth , particularly the central incisors. If you’ve ever heard of the phrase “baby bottle tooth decay” or the more sinister-...

Genetics vs Environment Article by Dr. Cindy

“I Have Soft Teeth Like My Mom” Are your teeth susceptible to tooth decay due to your genetic makeup or to your environmental influences? Let’s take a quick look at both sides: Genetics It is well known that you are made up of DNA from both of your parents, and as a result you inherit certain traits from each of them! Perhaps you have your mom’s eyes and your dad’s chin…and perhaps one of your parent’s genes dominates what your teeth are shaped like from the outside, and the other how they are constructed from the inside. But how does that really affect you? Let’s take a look at the anatomy of a tooth. Your teeth are made up of layers:  Enamel is the hard, outer shell; Dentin is the yellow, middle layer; the Pulp chamber is the pink and red inner core of your teeth where the nerve and blood supply reside. The mineral-rich enamel is the first and outer line of defense against decay, protecting your teeth from the surrounding acids. Teeth resist deca...
