As a parent, you want the best for your child’s health, including their dental care. Traditional pediatric dentistry often focuses on procedures, treatments, and medications that may not always align with your values or preferences. That’s where holistic pediatric dental care comes in. At Smilebody, our Holistic Pediatric Dentist takes a whole-child approach, emphasizing natural, preventive, and minimally invasive treatments that support your child’s overall health and well-being.
What is a Holistic Pediatric Dentist?
Holistic pediatric dentistry is a branch of dental care that integrates the principles of natural medicine, focusing on the body’s interconnectedness and the importance of a balanced, healthy lifestyle. In holistic care, the aim is to treat the cause of dental issues, not just the symptoms. This approach avoids using potentially harmful substances like mercury amalgam fillings and seeks alternative solutions that promote overall wellness.
Key Benefits of Holistic Dentistry for Kids
- Prevention Focus
Our holistic pediatric dentist emphasizes preventing dental issues before they arise. This includes guidance on diet, lifestyle, and oral hygiene to maintain healthy teeth and gums. We are a fluoride-free zone and use natural treatments with biocompatible materials to decrease toxicity. - Minimized Use of Chemicals
Traditional dental care may involve treatments with chemicals and metals, which some parents may wish to avoid. Holistic pediatric dentistry at Smilebody utilizes natural remedies and biocompatible materials, which are safer and gentler for young bodies. - Nurturing the Whole Body
Holistic dentistry isn’t just about the teeth—it’s about your child’s overall health. We believe the mouth is the “gateway” to the body, so a healthy mouth is linked to a healthy body. Dr. Selki, our holistic pediatric dentist, considers how dental issues might affect the rest of the body, from digestive health to immune function. - Stress-Free Experience
A key element of holistic care is reducing anxiety and stress. Our Smilebody team employs calming techniques, gentle treatments, and open communication to help children feel comfortable and relaxed during visits with our holistic pediatric dentist.
