Take Control of Your Overall Wellness with Holistic Dentistry
Holistic or biological dentists understand the interconnectedness between your oral and systemic health. As such, holistic dentistry focuses on more than your teeth and gums. Aspects like your lifestyle and diet matter to us. We treat you as a whole, encompassing your physical and emotional well-being to help you achieve overall wellness.
Heritage Dental invites you to our Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, office to see the difference biological dental care can make to your health. When you partner with Dr. Beth Skovron, you’ll discover you aren’t constantly struggling with the same issues over and over because we address the source of your problems.
How is biological dentistry different?
Holistic dentists offer standard treatments like cleanings, fillings, crowns, etc. However, their approach differs from mainstream dentists. The following is what makes holistic dentistry different.
- Mouth-body connection: Holistic dentistry is grounded in the understanding that dental health is linked to overall well-being. This mouth-body connection means that what happens in the mouth can affect your overall health and vice versa. For instance, periodontal disease has been linked to systemic health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and even certain cancers. We emphasize guarding your mouth to protect your overall health.
- Holistic approach: We treat patients as a whole instead of just focusing on their symptoms. For example, rather than simply filling a cavity, we take the time to explore the underlying factors that may have contributed to the issue. That’s why we consider aspects like your medical history, diet, stress levels, and overall lifestyle, ensuring that our care promotes oral health and well-being. Addressing the root cause of your dental problems provides lasting solutions.
- Emphasis on prevention: Treating dental issues is just part of holistic dentistry. We are proactive, preventing dental problems instead of waiting for them to occur and treating them. Dentistry isn’t always about putting out fires. A preventive approach protects you from unnecessary discomfort and costly treatments.
- Biocompatible materials: We are mindful of the materials we put in your mouth. That’s why we don’t use amalgams in our dentistry. These fillings contain mercury and other metals that can harm your body. When your teeth need repair, we only use BPA-free composites created from biocompatible and toxic-free materials. We dislike amalgams so much that we offer safe mercury removal for those with them!
Experiencing holistic dentistry transforms how you think about dental care, making conventional methods less appealing. Our approach to dental care is personalized and attentive to every aspect of your life. From the dental materials to the impact of your diet, stress levels, and lifestyle on your well-being, every detail about your health matters to us.
