Welcome to holistic dentistry!
Holistic dentistry is an approach to dentistry that recognizes that issues in the mouth can affect the rest of the body and that issues of the body can manifest themselves in the mouth.
Holistic dentistry is an approach to dentistry that recognizes that issues in the mouth can affect the rest of the body and that issues of the body can manifest themselves in the mouth.
In
holistic dentistry, we deal with 3 main issues (MBA):
· microbiology (M),
· bio-compatibility (B) and
· anatomy (A).
In the following pages, you will find these 3 themes expanded and explained. The purpose of this website is to educate our readers about biocompatible dental materials, mouth-body connections, mercury free dentistry, health-based dentistry, biological dentistry, breathing difficulties, snoring, sleep apnea, and oral systemic balance (OSB).
While holistic dentistry is not a specialty, it is an important aspect of general health. That is why it is also called "health-based dentistry." Because we deal with oral biology, it is also called "biological dentistry."
Because we deal with head and neck anatomy, we also treat patients with sleep apnea, snoring, breathing difficulties, swallowing difficulties, and speech difficulties. This is in addition to our emphasis on biocompatible dental materials, mercury-free fillings, metal-free crowns and bridges, and non-surgical periodontal therapy.
There are many 'mouth-body connections' that the profession is beginning to discover. We hope that you will join us in this interesting journey as more and more inter-relationships between the mouth and body are discovered.
Our aim in holistic dentistry is to help our bodies achieve "oral systemic balance" (OSB) - a physiological state where the different parts of our bodies function optimally in a state of balance.

they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers
in accordance to their own desires. (2 Tim 4:3)  |
