Biological Dentists

Biological dentistry, also known as holistic dentistry, is an approach to dental health that focuses on the connection between oral health and overall health. It views the mouth as an integral part of the body, and treats it accordingly. Biological dentists take into account the person’s diet, lifestyle, medical history, emotional health, and environmental factors when making decisions about treatment. Rather than taking a “fix it and forget it” approach, biological dentistry seeks to maintain a person’s oral health and ensure that any treatments are done with a long-term view of overall wellness. Biological dentists believe that a holistic approach is the best way to ensure overall health. Rather than focus on fixing a single problem, they take an integrative approach to oral health, treating the whole person, and considering both physical and emotional well-being. They take a proactive approach to preventing dental disease, and focus on techniques to minimize toxins. Biological dentists use advanced diagnostic tools to identify hidden issues that could be contributing to overall health concerns. As part of their examinations, they review medical histories, current medications, lifestyle, diet, and any environmental exposures. In addition to the traditional techniques used by conventional dentists, biological dentists employ a range of alternative treatments to optimize oral health. These may include nutrient therapy, homeopathic remedies, acupuncture, detoxification, herbal supplements, and/or probiotics. Biological dentists strive to promote long-term dental health by helping people understand the connection between their overall health and the health of their teeth and gums. They believe that prevention is the key to minimizing dental problems and that it’s important to focus on achieving and maintaining good oral health for the long-term.
