"I have been going to Blodgett Dental Care for over 15 years. Previous to that I hadn't gone to the dentist in quite a while due to dental anxiety. Dr. Blodgett and his team were so kind and put me at ease immediately. His dental work is incredible and the repair work I have had to have has been comfortable and long-lasting. He treats his patients with respect, has a great sense of humor and his staff are skilled,.." says Amanda on Google

Toxic Tuesday: Disguising a dead or infected root canal tooth with a crown does not make it healthy.

It is common for dentists to place a crown after root canal treatment. The idea is that the crown protects the tooth from future fracture — and in some cases, especially with back teeth, there may be truth to that.
But when it comes to front teeth, crowns can also hide what is happening underneath.

In today’s case, this patient experienced trauma to a front tooth at a young age and was told she “needed” a root canal. Like many patients, she followed the recommendation. Years later, the tooth was covered with a crown — but the infection beneath it did not disappear.

Over time, she also struggled with chronic acne that did not respond to topical treatments or medications. After the infected root canal tooth was removed, her skin began to clear.

Why might this happen?

Root canal-treated teeth can harbor microbes and bacterial byproducts inside the tooth and surrounding bone. Some of these microbes may release endotoxins, which can activate the immune system and contribute to inflammation throughout the body.

This is why we believe it is important to look beyond appearances. A tooth may look beautiful on the outside while still creating stress inside the body.

If your goal is optimal health and you are wondering whether an old root canal may be contributing to inflammation or other symptoms, our team at Blodgett Dental Care can help you explore your options.

Wellness Wednesday: Achieve your dream smile with minimal risk.

A beautiful smile should not come at the expense of your healthy teeth.

Traditional veneers often require removing natural enamel, a permanent change that may increase the risk of sensitivity and weaken the long-term integrity of the tooth.

No-prep veneers offer a more conservative option.
At Blodgett Dental Care, Dr. Kelly Blodgett uses a biologically aligned approach to smile enhancement, one that prioritizes whole-body health, longevity, and natural beauty.

Why patients love no-prep veneers:
🦷 Preserve healthy enamel
No-prep veneers are designed to enhance the smile without aggressively grinding down natural tooth structure.

✨ A brighter, natural-looking smile
They can help improve shape, shade, and symmetry while still looking like you.

😁 Minimal discomfort
Because the approach is more conservative, patients often avoid many of the sensitivity concerns associated with traditional veneer preparation.

🌿 Biocompatible and long-lasting
When properly planned and bonded to healthy enamel, no-prep veneers can be a durable, beautiful, and biologically sound choice.

Research has shown that no-prep and minimally invasive veneers can perform as well as traditional veneers in carefully selected cases.

There is a better way, conservative, comfortable, biologically based, and beautiful.

Toxic Tuesday: The link between chronic oral infection and breast cancer.

Many people are surprised to learn that what happens in the mouth does not stay in the mouth.

Research continues to explore the connection between chronic oral infections and systemic disease, including breast cancer. Several studies have found associations between periodontal disease, chronic inflammation, oral bacteria, and increased breast cancer risk — especially in postmenopausal women.

One possible link is inflammation.

When the immune system is constantly responding to infection in the mouth, inflammatory signals may circulate throughout the body and influence tissue health far beyond the teeth and gums.

Scientists have also identified oral bacteria, including Fusobacterium nucleatum, in breast tumor tissue. This does not prove direct cause and effect, but it does highlight the importance of understanding the oral-systemic connection.

Chronic dental stressors may include:
• untreated gum disease
• infected root canals
• jawbone inflammation or cavitation lesions
• toxic dental materials

The takeaway is not fear.

It is awareness.

Your mouth is part of your body. Chronic infection in the mouth may contribute to an ongoing immune burden that affects whole-body health.

At Blodgett Dental Care, we help patients look deeper — identifying hidden dental toxicity and supporting the body through biologically based care.

If your goal is to live your healthiest life and reduce unnecessary sources of chronic inflammation, BioDental Rejuvenation may be an important part of your journey.

"I created a google account just so I could leave this review. I met Dr Blodgett at his Toxic Tooth Tour stop in Boston several years ago. After throwing every question I could think of at him in the seminar, I decided to travel cross country a half dozen times over 2 years doing a three phase full mouth reconstruction. Had 14 implants/ crowns placed even more root canals removed. Double sinus lift and veneers on the bottom.." says P on Google
