What is holistic/biological dentistry?
This is an integrative approach to traditional dentistry, which takes into account many different considerations when determining a course of treatment. Whereas traditional dentistry is disease focused (fixing what is broken and devising tactics to keep a problem from recurring), Biological Dentistry is more health focused. By concentrating on the level of health that they want, patients can be given choices in dental materials and procedures, that can move them toward that ultimate goal of long-term health. Additionally, our philosophy regarding treatment options and planning respects the tooth-body connection. It is well documented that each tooth is connected to various parts of the body via bio-electric energy pathways, or meridians. These meridians are a two-way electrical street: Disease or imbalance at one end (tooth organ system) can be visualized or expressed at the other end. Biological/Holistic dentists do not view the oral cavity as the beginning and end of oral/dental heal
