A biological dentist, also known as a holistic or integrative dentist, focuses on dental care that emphasizes overall health and well-being. We are integrating traditional dentistry with a broader perspective on how oral health affects the entire body. At Smilebody we know the mouth is the gateway to your overall health, read more to answer all of your questions on the benefits of our services.
Here’s how a biological dentist can help you today:
We Focus on Non-Toxic Materials
- Biological dentists use materials that are free from harmful substances. They avoid materials such as amalgam fillings, which contain mercury, and opt for biocompatible alternatives. If you have existing dental work with potentially toxic materials, a biological dentist can help replace them with safer options.
- How This Helps: Reduces your exposure to potentially harmful substances, aligning dental treatments with your overall health goals and minimizing risks associated with toxic materials.
2. We Place an Emphasis on Whole-Body Health
- Biological dentists consider the connections between oral health and systemic health. They assess how dental issues may impact other aspects of your health, such as immune function, cardiovascular health, and digestive health.
- How This Helps: By addressing dental issues with a holistic perspective, a biological dentist can provide treatments that not only improve oral health but also support overall well-being, potentially preventing or alleviating related health issues.
3. We Use Minimally Invasive Techniques
- Biological dentists often use minimally invasive techniques and focus on preventive care. They may use advanced diagnostics and technology to detect issues early, leading to less invasive treatments and more effective prevention strategies.
- How This Helps: Minimizes the need for more extensive procedures and helps maintain your natural tooth structure, reducing discomfort and recovery time.
4. We Use Biocompatibility Testing
- Biological dentists may perform tests to ensure that dental materials are compatible with your body. They use techniques such as biocompatibility testing to identify materials that will not trigger allergic reactions or other adverse responses.
- How This Helps: Ensures that the materials used in your dental treatments are well-tolerated by your body, reducing the risk of negative reactions and promoting better long-term outcomes.
5. We Use An Integrative Treatment Approach
- Biological dentists often work in conjunction with other healthcare providers to offer a comprehensive approach to your health. They may collaborate with nutritionists, medical doctors, or other specialists to address your health concerns holistically.
- How This Helps: Provides a coordinated approach to your health, integrating dental care with other aspects of your well-being to support overall health and prevent issues from arising.
6. We Focus on Preventive Care
- Biological dentists place a strong emphasis on preventive care. We offer guidance on diet, lifestyle, and oral hygiene practices that support long-term health and prevent dental issues.
- How This Helps. By focusing on prevention, a biological dentist helps you maintain optimal oral health and reduce the likelihood of more serious dental problems in the future.
