"As the eyes are a window into our souls, our mouth is a window into our bodies. Enjoy the ride as Dr. Stay, a world renowned expert takes you on a magical ride and helps you to see your body and your health from a whole new perspective." - Jacob E. Teitelbaum, M.D., best selling author

New York, N.Y.—April 2008

For over twenty years, Dr. Flora Stay has helped thousands of individuals realize the importance of good oral health to one’s general health. As a doctor of dental surgery, Associate Clinical Professor at University of Southern California School of Dentistry, author and renowned speaker, her passion has been to educate consumers about how our teeth, gums and saliva are a reflection of a healthy—or unhealthy—body, mind and spirit.

Recent studies confirm a direct correlation between gum disease and the risk of heart disease, stroke, high risk pregnancies, pancreatic cancer and other systemic diseases, including diabetes and osteoporosis. Saliva can provide the means for early detection of many conditions, and our smiles certainly reflect our emotional health. Now, Dr. Stay reveals how we can identify general health problems by understanding and taking care of the problems that are hidden in our mouths.

In Secret Gateway to Health, Dr. Stay divulges:

  • The Seven Steps to oral health;
  • Questionable ingredients in toothpaste, mouthwash and whitening strips that may be harmful to our health;
  • The controversy over fluoride and why there is a warning on toothpaste tubes;
  • How certain foods affect oral health — and how oral health affects weight loss.
  • The most important nutritional supplements for oral health;
  • The pros and cons of herbal supplements and how too much of a “natural” herb can be harmful;
  • Relief for TMD (jaw joint) sufferers;
  • Strategies for finding the right dentist, and how to partner with your dentist and physician to ensure general good health.

In addition, Dr. Stay presents an A to Z index of medical conditions related to oral health from body chemistry to allergies and cancer to cold sores, lupus, and sleep apnea and offers important information for early detection. She also covers the differences in oral health for children, women, men and senior citizens.

Recognized as an authority on oral medicine and integrative health issues, Dr. Stay shows the great impact our mouth has on our body and what we must do to maintain our own good health.
