Holistic Dentistry

The belief behind holistic dentistry is that your every part of your body is directly connected to your health. We don't like to just fix, check and clean your teeth. We want to provide a fully realized connection between the health of your mouth and the health of the rest of your body. Through the holistic approach, we can improve the health of your teeth and gums while simultaneously helping you to make healthier choices about your body's well-being. Holistic dentistry is sometimes referred to as biological dentistry, since it incorporates your entire body's wellness with the health of your teeth and gums.

The holistic approach to dentistry involves a connection between your body's well-being with the health and condition of your smile. Some of the different elements focused on concerning holistic dentistry include:

• Proper nutrition for healthier teeth and gums
• Elimination and avoidance of harmful dental materials
• Removal and replacement of amalgam (metal) fillings
• Treatment of malocclusion problems (problems with bite can equate to problems with imbalance)
• Treatment and total prevention of gum disease at its core basis
• Nonsurgical gum disease treatment
• Instruction on proper care of teeth and gums using natural, wholesome products
• Elimination of fluoride overuse
• Emphasis on preventative care

While holistic dentistry is still a relatively new concept for a lot of people, it has its roots planted firmly in the human body's biological core. The rule of holistic dentistry is that it should promote wellness and health rather than simply focusing on the treatment of disease and infection. After all, your smile can only shine when you are healthy and vibrant yourself.

Holistic dentistry is more involved in preventative care rather than simply treating diseases. The goal of this approach is to promote healthier teeth and gums while using more natural and less invasive techniques to heal problems that may arise over time. This type of dentistry can be beneficial to all different patients of varying ages, since its focus is on a whole-body connection rather than simply fixing problems that might come up.
