What Does Holistic and Biological Dentists Do Differently? 

Preventive dentistry is more than just brushing twice a day and flossing once a day. It's a proactive approach to maintaining oral health and preventing dental problems before they occur. By prioritizing regular check-ups, cleanings, and good oral hygiene habits, you can significantly reduce your risk of cavities, gum disease, and other dental and health issues.

The Role of Biological and Holistic Dentistry

As patients are prioritizing healthier and natural lifestyles, holistic and natural dental care is also gaining its popularity. These approaches emphasize the connection between oral health and overall well-being. They focus on treating the body as a whole, integrating dental health to whole body health, rather than just isolating dental problems.

Biological dentistry takes a more natural approach to dental care. It avoids the use of toxic materials, such as mercury, fluoride, chlorohexidine, BPA, and other harmful chemicals, and focuses on restoring oral health using biocompatible materials.

Holistic dentistry goes beyond the teeth, considering the patient's whole body health, nutritional and dietary influence.

Key Differences Between Holistic and Biological Dental Care

While both holistic and biological dentistry prioritize natural approaches to oral health, there are some key differences:

  • Scope of treatment: Holistic dentists takes a broader approach, considering the patient's overall health and well-being. Biological dentists focus on the oral cavity, the use of biocompatible materials, and how dental treatment and materials plays apart in patient’s health.
  • Philosophy: Holistic dentistry emphasizes the interconnectedness of the body and mind while biological dentistry focuses on the use of natural and non-toxic materials in dental treatments.

A holistic and biological approach to dentistry offers a comprehensive solution for maintaining optimal oral health, emphasizing prevention before issues arises.
