What is Holistic Dentistry?
Holistic Dentistry is a field of dentistry where the dental practitioner looks at the health of your “whole” body and it’s relationship with your oral cavity.  In essence, holistic dentistry is more comprehensive and complete than traditional dentistry.
The holistic dental practitioner uses techniques, materials, methods, and processes that are both safe and compatible with the mouth and the body.  The dentist invests a tremendous amounts of time in educating themselves and their patients about this ever-important mouth/body connection.  He also becomes an integral part of the patient’s overall wellness team.

“I used to hate going to the dentist.  Not anymore.  Now I love it.  The staff here is very helpful and caring.  They explain everything to me.  I feel like they’ve helped me a lot.”
Sheri V. San Diego, Ca

“To look at the mouth is to look at the rest of the body.  To view the body, you must not omit the mouth.”

Have you thought of the concept of a ‘benevolent dictator’—ahem—dentist who told you what had to be done to your teeth?

Dentists, who practice holistic dentistry believe that it is essential for a dentist to listen, ask questions and seek to understand your dental situation and wishes. The initial dental discussion is experienced in a relaxed comfortable person-to-person exchange—not in the dental chair, tilted backward with the light shining in your eyes as if you are in an interrogation room.

Holistic dentistry consists of treatment that combines accurate diagnosis and planning for care while considering the elements of physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs of the individual. Holistic dentistry provides the education and information you need; and allows you the opportunity to choose options for treatment that you can feel good about.

The future of your total health can be compromised by the condition of your teeth, gum tissue and bones. Oral health is crucial to your well-being, yet it is easily neglected even with conscious effort to maintain good dental health.

Holistic dentistry includes Essential Oils to augment the treatment of gum and bone disease. You will notice careful consideration is taken to ensure that the time you spend is as comfortable as possible. Holistic dentistry uses only composite materials made of a plastic resin and a filler of finely ground glass-like particles. These materials can be blended and matched to the color of the existing tooth.

The procedure to fill a tooth with composites is more precise and takes longer to perform than an amalgam filling. These materials are bonded to the remaining tooth structure. This gives the filling a strong and secure attachment to the remaining tooth.

You might need to spend time searching for a holistic dentist, but in the end it is well-worth the effort. You can be assured the care you receive will be safe, effective and patient centered.
