Our bodies were created perfect by God; but sin and corruption ended that perfection. Many people suffer from different kinds of ailments; some find cures and some don’t.  Those who don’t, live with their sub-optimal health.  Sometimes diseases come about because of accidental exposure; sometimes they are caused by the person himself.  Whatever the reason, we yearn for healing. 

It is against this backdrop of dissatisfaction with ineffective healing regimes that I began searching for the underlying cause of many dental disease.  Many dental disease are caused by the person himself – because he neglected his home care or simply abused what he was born with. 

Those dental diseases that are more difficult to heal from are those that go beyond the mouth.  TMJ pain may result in pain in the muscles and tissues of the head and neck areas (craniofacial pain) and sometimes even causing misalignment of the vertebrae and other more remote effects (e.g. sleep disorder, sleep apnea).

Oral Systemic Balance (OSB) is the result of 25+ years of research by Dr. Farrand C Robson who was gifted with the ability to see the underlying cause of dental disease that had effects throughout the body.  I was privileged to sit at his feet while learning about the culprit of many of our functional problems – namely, the tongue. It is a small muscle in the body but it can wreck havoc in many other tissues through its influence on breathing, swallowing and speaking and thereby indirectly affecting the normal function of the Autonomic Nervous System. 

Oral Systemic Balance (OSB) holds the potential to change the way we view our bodies as a functional whole.  I am excited to be able to share this with you through these pages.
