Holistic dentistry, also known as biological dentistry or integrative dentistry, is an approach to dental care that takes into consideration a person’s overall health and well-being, rather than just focusing on isolated dental issues. This approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of oral health with the rest of the body and aims to provide dental treatments that support the body’s natural healing processes.
Key principles of holistic dentistry include:
- Biocompatibility: We focus on using dental materials that are biocompatible and less likely to cause adverse reactions. They may avoid using certain metals, such as mercury-containing amalgam fillings, and opt for alternative materials that are considered safer.
- Minimally Invasive Techniques: We prioritize minimally invasive techniques and procedures that preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible. This approach can help maintain the overall health of the teeth and gums.
- Prevention: Prevention is a cornerstone of holistic dentistry. We emphasize proper oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and lifestyle factors that contribute to good oral and overall health.
- Connection to Overall Health: We believe that oral health is closely linked to general health. We consider the impact of dental treatments on other bodily systems and work to minimize potential negative effects.
- Mercury-Free Dentistry: We avoid using dental amalgam fillings that contain mercury, due to concerns about the potential health risks associated with mercury exposure.
- Alternative Therapies: We also incorporate alternative therapies, such as homeopathy, acupuncture, and herbal remedies, alongside conventional dental treatments.
- Personalized Treatment Plans: We often tailor our treatment plans to the individual patient’s specific health needs and concerns, considering factors like allergies, sensitivities, and medical history.
