Holistic Approach To The Dental Care

By: Health Centered Dentistry Home | Health-and-Fitness | Dental


Holistic dental care is an approach to modern dentistry that emphasizes oral as well as overall health instead of the treatment of oral disease. A holistic dental procedure can become the natural preventive medical care. This is because a holistic dentist observes the patient’s overall case history of health. Holistic dental care approach involves proper periodontal diagnosis and systemic health diagnosis. Holistic dental care approach includes contemporary science, technology as well as natural healing. It is also known as Biological dentistry or biocompatible dentistry. Holistic dental care acknowledges and deals with the spiritual mind and body of the patient, not just their dental problems.

The Fundamental Principles Of Holistic Dental Care Are:

  • Comprehensive diagnosis and dental treatment planning.

  • Patient awareness and diet counseling for the prevention of dental disease.

  • Prevention and treatment of gum disease at its biological or biocompatible basis.

  • Prevention and treatment of dental malocclusion and bruxism.

  • Use non-toxic dental materials (i.e. mercury free, lead free).

  • Minimally invasive treatment through early diagnosis to preserve as much of the natural tooth structure.


    • Holistic dental care is based on the full body diagnosis approach for oral health care. It works in combination with other medicinal factors such as nutrition and complimentary medicines that include homeopathy etc., to treat tooth decay, infection of the surrounding bone or other tooth problems. Holistic dental care uses biocompatible materials; and relies less on medicines like antibiotics for providing proper dental treatment. Holistic dental care emphasizes dental treatment that integrates the best of traditional and alternative approaches. Less invasive treatments used in Holistic Dentistry are frequently less painful, although the treatment may take longer time for the overall dental procedure. With holistic dentistry one can learn how to alter their lifestyle and habits for the prevention of tooth problems.

    In Holistic dentistry the cure for gum diseases is much less invasive. Taking proper care of gums is extremely necessary. Recent analysis and researches have shown a correlation of periodontal diseases with heart diseases. With the help of holistic dentistry the treatment is as natural as possible providing care through biological means. A holistic dentist implements a balanced dental program for your dental problem. An experienced holistic dentist replaces fillings and amalgams with metal free and mercury free biocompatible materials that are less toxic. Holistic dentistry efficiently supports and restores normal function, appearance and improving your quality of life.
