Both holistic and conventional dentists provide standard treatments such as fillings and cleanings but differ in their approach. The following are five ways in which biological and traditional dentists differ:
- Safe materials: Holistic dentists understand not all materials are created equal. Unlike many dentists, we use biocompatible, safe materials. This means BPA, fluoride, and mercury have no place in our dentistry. We take safety a notch higher by removing toxic materials from your mouth. Our office provides safe mercury removal services to replace amalgams with biocompatible composite fillings. The choice of dental materials reflects our commitment to patient health.
- Mouth-body connection: Holistic dentistry emphasizes the connection between oral health and overall well-being. We understand that problems in the mouth can cause problems in your body and vice versa. We safeguard the mouth-body connection to maintain optimal oral and overall health. Unlike traditional dentists who primarily focus on restoring your oral health, our approach is to treat you as a whole person. This philosophy integrates dental care with overall well-being, offering a more comprehensive and personalized experience.
- We address the root cause of the problem: Our integrative approach seeks to treat the cause of your problem, unlike other dentists who may mask your symptoms with temporary solutions. We always want to understand why patients come to our office. We want to understand the root cause of any issues in order to devise a long-lasting solution.
- Preventive vs proactive: While traditional dentists offer preventive care, they mostly excel in diagnosing and treating oral issues. Holistic dentists are more proactive, emphasizing prevention before issues occur. We understand dental care isn’t all about putting out fires. We emphasize preventive care, including proper nutrition, oral hygiene education, and lifestyle changes to prevent dental problems in the first place.
- Alternative, natural therapies: Holistic dentistry avoids potentially toxic materials as much as possible. For example, we avoid fluoride treatments and mercury amalgam fillings, which have been associated with various health concerns. Instead, we offer natural remedies like ozone therapy and nutritional counseling to promote overall health while addressing your dental needs. We also reduce radiation exposure by offering modern radiographs.
