Holistic Dentistry: A Natural Approach to Oral Care
Modern advances in dental care have given people newer and better ways to care for their teeth. More people are turning to holistic dentistry to meet their oral care needs. Redmond Smiles offers biological dental care to our patients in Redmond, Washington, and surrounding communities. Through these FAQs, Dr. Colby Eckland explains more about holistic dentistry, how it works, and how it can benefit you.
What is holistic dentistry, and how does it differ from traditional dentistry?
Traditional dentistry focuses on treating oral issues, such as cavities, infections, gum disease, damaged teeth, etc., taking into consideration what’s best for your oral health. In contrast, holistic dentistry works on the premise that your oral and general health are connected. When treating oral issues, Dr. Eckland and our team will consider how procedures will impact your whole body, not just your teeth, gums, jaw, or mouth. This whole-body approach makes holistic dentistry more beneficial to your overall health.
Holistic dentistry also focuses on preventing dental issues, especially repetitive ones, by looking for and treating the source of these problems to prevent them from occurring in the future. Another aspect of holistic dentistry is the use of natural materials, practices, and techniques as much as possible in oral care.
What are the benefits of holistic dentistry?
Holistic dentistry offers multiple benefits for your oral and overall health and well-being. These benefits include:
- The use of non-toxic, biocompatible, natural materials in your treatments.
- Non- or minimally-invasive procedures, when possible, to minimize stress on your body.
- Identifying and treating dental issues at their source to keep them from reoccurring.
- A personalized approach to meeting your oral care needs, taking into consideration your general health and lifestyle.
- Choosing treatments that contribute to both your oral and general health.
What are some common dental services offered by holistic dentists?
Dr. Eckland and our team offer the following holistic treatments:
- Metal-free, mercury-free dental fillings.
- BPA-free dental sealants.
- Fluoride-free dental cleanings.
- Metal-free dental crowns, bridges, and implants.
- Ozone Therapy.
- Nutritional counseling to improve overall oral health. Â
Is holistic dentistry as effective as traditional dentistry?
Absolutely! In fact, you may find our holistic practices even more conducive to your dental needs, as Dr. Eckland and our team favor minimally invasive or non-invasive treatments, prioritize the use of natural materials, and focus on your overall health and wellness rather than simply treating your particular oral issue.
Am I a good candidate for holistic dentistry?
Anyone who wants a more natural approach to dentistry can be a good candidate for biological dental care. Holistic dentistry can benefit people of all ages, from children to elderly seniors. If you want to improve your oral and overall health, Dr. Eckland encourages you to consider holistic dentistry!
