As
people become increasingly concerned about medical techniques and learn
more about alternative health procedures, a new field of dentistry has
developed known as holistic dentistry. Also known as alternative dentistry
or biological dentistry, holistic dentistry
promotes a preventative approach to dentistry. It is a gentler alternative
to conventional dentistry. It takes into consideration more about
the whole persons' care of the mouth, using non-toxic dental restorative
materials, microbiological control of gum infections and high quality
supplements. Holistic Dentistry treats the teeth, jaw, and related structures
with special focus on how that treatment will affect the entire body.
It stresses the use of nontoxic restoration materials for dental work,
and focuses on the impact that hidden dental infections and other dental
problems can have on overall health.
For an overview of holistic dentistry, it is important to understand the
principles guiding holistic dentists.
Holistic dentists:
Renounce
the use of any unnatural and potentially toxic dental devices and treatments,
which includes mercury fillings and fluoride treatment.
Study
the balance and relationship
between a patient's mouth and the rest of their body. Health focused
dentistry takes into consideration how the treatment of the oral cavity
will affect the immune system and overall health of the individual.Problem
conditions of the teeth and surrounding area can have geat effect on
the heart, sleep, headaches and digestion for example Detoxification and support from other medical practitioners is important
to promote a successful treatment outcome
Believe
that proper nutrition and healthy eating habits, which includes the
avoidance of certain foods, is essential to our oral health.
Our
team will start by taking a very thorough patient history and then perform
a complete dental examination of the patient to determine the best treatment
possible. Holistic dentists communicate openly and clearly with their
patients so that the patient is playing an integral role in their health
and wellness plan. Additionally, holistic dentists often consult with
their patients' other practitioners, thereby making more informed decisions
about the treatment best suited for the patients' overall well-being to
assist patients in achieving optimum health.
