The only condition that can be called a disease in dentistry is periodontal (gum) disease. A holistic dentist will always try to implement a balanced and progressive program for preserving your gums. Dental metals are responsible for 14% of the pollution in our oceans. Bite correction measures include the use of splints made of cutting-edge materials, as well as muscular adjustments within the mouth. Dentists emphasize the importance of regular brushing and flossing, especially after eating sweets.
Sugar cravings can be reduced or eliminated by following a few simple dietary guidelines. Patients should be aware of the ingredients to avoid in toothpaste and mouthwash. Organic, effective, and tasty home dental care alternatives are becoming increasingly available. Your holistic dentist can inform you about the various ways in which toxic ingredients can be found in personal care and cleaning products.
Utilization of Biocompatible Dental Materials: Let's face it, we live in a toxic world, so you don't want to increase your toxic load or stress your immune system with your dentistry. According to studies, at least 20% of dental patients develop sensitivity to dental materials at some point. Different types of testing will be available to your holistic dentist to determine which materials are appropriate for you.
Non-Painful and Natural Treatment of Gum Diseases: The only condition that can be called a disease in dentistry is periodontal (gum) disease. The media has recently focused on research indicating that the bacteria that causes gum disease is not only found in the mouth. When a patient has gum disease, the same bacteria can be found in their bloodstream, and they may also be present in cases of heart disease. The mouth is the portal to the body, and a healthy oral environment is essential for a strong heart in a healthy body. Any dental treatment is built on the foundation of your gums. Before recommending a more aggressive approach to your periodontal care, a holistic dentist will always try to implement a balanced and progressive program for preserving your gums.
Metal Filling Removal: It is critical that a strict protocol be followed whenever metal fillings need to be replaced. This includes tooth isolation to ensure that no metal particles end up in your mouth or, worse, are swallowed. You should be able to breathe clean air and oxygen, as well as any special filtration and a custom high speed vacuum unit.
Ideally, your holistic dentist will also have a filter to prevent the removed metal from entering the public water system. Dental metals are responsible for 14% of the pollution in our oceans. Bay Area dentists are actually required to use this type of filtration to protect San Francisco Bay's waters.
Bite and TMJ Problems: Prevention and Effective Treatment: Your holistic dentist understands that your mouth is the gateway to your body, not only internally but also structurally. The patient's bite alignment, as well as specific concerns such as jaw joint problems, must always be considered in the overall picture of dental treatment (TMJ). Bite evaluation is critical for treatment, not only for the head and jaw but also for the overall structure of the body.
Bite correction measures include the use of splints made of cutting-edge materials, as well as muscular adjustments within the mouth. In order to achieve the best results, your holistic dentist may sometimes work directly with a chiropractor.
Your bite must be at its best for your dental treatment to be successful: a relaxed and beautiful smile.
Adjunctive Support: Dentists have traditionally emphasized the importance of regular brushing and flossing, especially after eating sweets, for the maintenance of dental health. Your holistic dentist may emphasize the importance of healthy eating habits even more.
An alkaline, sugar-free diet, for example, is an important adjunct to preventive oral health. Sugar is well known to contribute to tooth decay. This is because the bacteria that cause decay feed and grow easily on sugar intake. An alkaline diet is also beneficial because the stresses of our world tend to cause salivary acidity, which affects the health of both teeth and gums. An alkaline diet maintains the proper ph balance of saliva, allowing the digestive processes to begin in the mouth to function optimally. Sugar cravings can be reduced or eliminated by following a few simple dietary guidelines.
Homeopathics, which are a powerful support to oral health and dental treatment, may also be used by your holistic dentist. Aconitum Napellus homeopathic pellets can be used to alleviate anxiety prior to treatment. To reduce the effects of anesthetics, homeopathic gels can be applied topically after procedures. Arnica and Traumeel, for example, can be applied topically to sore gum tissue.
Cosmetic Bonding for Tooth Structure Preservation: Metal fillings that are 15-20 years old can cause cracks in your teeth that eventually grow into fractures. It is not uncommon for old fillings to remain in place while the tooth structure crumbles around them. Metal fillings not only weaken tooth structure, but they also stain the underlying tooth black. It is best to remove old fillings before the tooth breaks and necessitates root canals, crowns, or caps.
Caps or crowns are sometimes unnecessary with bonding techniques because bonding helps to hold the tooth together rather than wedge it apart. Because of the bonding, we can be more conservative and remove less tooth structure. There are many tooth-colored filling materials available today that are both long-lasting and attractive.
Toxicity Elimination Products and Education for Your Dental Treatment, Dental Products, Your Home, and Your Environment: Limiting the harm caused by toxicity is now a hidden determinant of good health. Limiting toxicity may be as difficult as getting proper nutrition. Your body has the wisdom to convert whatever you feed it into nutrients it can use, but the immune system and organs of the body may break down over time as a result of cumulative toxicity.
Patients should be aware of the ingredients to avoid in toothpaste and mouthwash. Organic, effective, and tasty home dental care alternatives are becoming increasingly available. Your holistic dentist can inform you about the various ways in which toxic ingredients can be found in personal care and cleaning products, as well as food and medicine.
Knowing which ingredients to avoid and reading labels are two ways we can empower ourselves and our families to strive for good oral health and overall well-being. Another reason your holistic dentist is important in your community is that he or she educates and influences patients to live a more balanced lifestyle.
