The Dental Fitness Advantage

Your mouth is more than a smile, or a food processor—it’s one of the most underappreciated performance engines that power whole-body wellness and fitness.

The Dental Fitness Advantage reveals how a healthy mouth enhances total body health, sharpens focus, boosts energy, and extends longevity. Drawing from her clinical experience and the latest scientific research, Dr. Camesia O. Matthews introduces the five pillars of dental fitness—Prevention, Posture, Protection, Presentation, and Psychology—and shows how each one connects oral health to peak physical and mental performance.

From breathing and sleep to confidence and recovery, Dr. Matthews explains how small, evidence-based habits create measurable gains in vitality and well-being. You’ll learn how to assess your Dental Fitness Score, build sustainable oral health routines, and overcome the fear or neglect that holds so many people back.

Accessible, science-based, and empowering, this book is for anyone who wants to live stronger, think clearer, and perform better—starting with the mouth.

Strong mouth. Strong body. Strong life. That’s the dental fitness advantage.
