What are the principles of holistic dentistry?
Holistic dentistry prioritizes the whole person rather than treating the dental issues. It encompasses the following principles:
- Integrative care: Holistic dental care addresses physical and emotional well-being, providing a comprehensive approach to dental care.
- Biocompatible materials: We are mindful of the dental restorations we put in your mouth. We never use dental restorations like metal crowns or amalgam fillings. We choose biocompatible materials that minimize adverse reactions in the body.
- Prevention: Dentistry isn’t all about firefighting. We focus on preventing dental issues by emphasizing routine exams, cleanings, and patient education.
- Oral-systemic connection: Holistic dentistry considers how oral health affects overall well-being. Oral issues like gum disease have been linked to heart disease, respiratory conditions, diabetes, pre-term births, and other systemic conditions.
- Personalized care: Holistic dentistry tailors dental care to your individual needs, contrasting the one-size-fits-all approach of mainstream dentistry.
Is holistic dentistry worth it?
If your dentist offers holistic dental care, you are at an advantage. Here are the benefits of holistic dentistry.
- Sustainability: Holistic dentistry prioritizes long-term health and wellness. Instead of fixing problems as they arise, it aims to maintain a healthy oral environment that supports overall well-being. Sustainable treatment options, such as metal-free restorations and non-toxic materials, contribute to long-term results.
- Whole-body wellness: We aren’t just interested in your oral health. Whole-person care improves your wellness beyond oral health, ensuring optimal oral-systemic well-being.
- Conservativeness: We don’t use aggressive procedures. Holistic dentistry uses a conservative approach by preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. Our treatments are designed to strengthen teeth rather than weaken them. Our biomimetic approach reduces the need for future invasive treatments, helping to maintain long-term oral health.
- Material safety: We use biocompatible materials free from mercury, BPA, and other harmful substances. That’s why we avoid traditional amalgam fillings, which contain mercury. Instead, we opt for composite resins or ceramic restorations that are safer and better tolerated by the body.
- Environmental friendliness: Our dental materials are also safe for the body and the environment. Holistic dentistry minimizes ecological harm by using mercury-free restorations, low-radiation digital X-rays, and eco-friendly sterilization techniques.
Does holistic dentistry cost more?
Holistic dental care can be a bit costlier because the materials are biocompatible and non-toxic. However, holistic dentistry is more cost-effective in the long run. Holistic dentistry addresses your problem for good, so you don’t have to spend much time and money on re-treatments. Safe and biocompatible materials mean you don’t have to deal with the harmful effects of unsafe dental restorations.
