Let’s Talk About the Benefits of Biological Dentistry
A Holistic Approach to Your Oral Health (and Overall Health)
At The Whole Tooth, we believe that true health is about more than just treating symptoms. It’s about finding the root cause and supporting your body’s natural ability to heal. That’s why we’re proud to be a biological dental office, dedicated to providing our patients with the safest, most comprehensive, and truly holistic dental care. But what exactly is biological dentistry and how is it different from conventional dental care?
Keep reading to learn what’s different about biological dentist apart and why you might consider making the switch from conventional dentistry.
What is Biological Dentistry?
Biological dentistry, also called holistic dentistry, is an approach to oral health care that recognizes the deep connection between your mouth and your entire body. A biological dentist sees the mouth as a window to your overall health, understanding that dental problems can be both a symptom and a cause of broader health issues.
Unlike traditional dentistry, which often focuses solely on treating teeth and gums, biological dentistry takes into account how dental treatments, materials, and procedures can affect your whole body (mercury fillings? Ewwww). At our practice, we carefully consider the impact of everything we use and recommend, always aiming to support your body’s natural balance and long-term wellness.
The Core Principles of a Biological Dentist
As biological dentists, we use biocompatible materials that are less likely to cause adverse reactions or chronic inflammation. We avoid toxic substances such as mercury amalgam fillings and offer safe mercury removal for patients who want to replace them with healthier alternatives. Our holistic dental philosophy considers potential sensitivities or allergies, ensuring that your treatments are tailored to your unique needs.
A biological dentist also looks at the impact of oral infections and root canal-treated teeth on your immune system. We use advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to detect hidden infections or issues that could be undermining your health. Our approach is always minimally invasive, prioritizing prevention and long-term solutions over quick fixes.
Why Choose Holistic Dentistry?
Holistic dentistry goes beyond just a beautiful smile. It’s about supporting the health of your entire body. Many chronic health conditions have been linked to oral health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders. By working with a holistic dentist, you’re taking a proactive step toward protecting your whole-body wellness. (Have you heard that we have an infrared spa in the office? The rumor is TRUE!)
We educate our patients about the importance of nutrition, lifestyle choices, and good oral hygiene habits, empowering you to take charge of your health. Our goal is not just to treat problems as they arise, but to help you achieve lasting wellness through a truly integrative approach.
