Oral-Systemic Health at CFM
Because the mouth is the gateway to the body—and the key to whole-person healing.
Dr. Ellie Campbell is not just a board-certified family and integrative physician—she is also a nationally recognized expert in oral-systemic medicine and a proud member of the Board of Directors for the American Academy of Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH).
As one of the few Bale-Doneen certified practitioners in the country, Dr. Campbell believes that no preventive health plan is complete without the involvement of a dentist and a hygienist. The mouth is not separate from the rest of the body—it’s deeply connected, and it plays a vital role in everything from cardiovascular disease to sleep quality.
Why This Matters:
Periodontal disease can trigger systemic inflammation, increasing risk for heart disease, diabetes, and dementia.
Oral bacteria can cross into the bloodstream, affecting vascular health and organ function.
Undiagnosed tongue ties, airway obstruction, or poor nitric oxide production can impair sleep, focus, and energy.
Tooth decay, gum disease, and poor oral hygiene may be early markers of deeper dysfunction.
Dr. Campbell collaborates closely with dentists, hygienists, and dental specialists to identify oral factors contributing to chronic illness—and builds truly integrated care plans that treat the patient as a whole.
Interdisciplinary Care for Better Outcomes
Whether you're managing heart health, autoimmune concerns, fatigue, or sleep apnea, oral health is part of the conversation at CFM. Our collaborative, root-cause approach empowers you to address the source—not just the symptoms—so you can enjoy lasting wellness.
