What is it?
Holistic dental medicine
The holistic dental medicine is an approach to dentistry that considers the oral cavity as an integral part of the body’s overall health. This approach focuses not only on the teeth and gums, but also on their relationship to the rest of the body and the overall well-being of the patient.
Basic principles of holistic dentistry
Holistic dentistry rejects the use of materials and procedures that may be potentially toxic (e.g. amalgam containing mercury, arsenic, etc.) in favor of biocompatible and proven safe materials.
The emphasis is on disease prevention through a healthy lifestyle, proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups.
Many diseases of the oral cavity can affect overall health. On the other hand, the condition of the oral cavity can be an indicator of general health problems.
Natural treatment methods and minimally invasive procedures are preferred.
Avoid overuse of antibiotics. They are prescribed only if absolutely necessary, when the risk of general infection is high and all other methods of treatment have been exhausted. Emphasis is on natural methods of strengthening the immune system, the use of natural supplements, probiotics, natural antimicrobials and homeopathic remedies.
Advice on diet and nutrition to support oral and general health.
Attention to stress and other psychological factors that can affect oral health.
This approach involves the use of traditional and alternative methods of treatment. Holistic dentists often work in conjunction with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care.
A popular alternative
Holistic dentistry is gaining popularity as an alternative to traditional dental practices, especially among patients seeking more natural and biocompatible approaches to their health. We believe that oral health is an integral part of our patients’ overall health and well-being, so we strive to achieve a balance between their physical, mental and emotional well-being.
