Holistic dental care gives a reason to smile

Holistic dental care is replacing conventional dentistry now days. The conventional or traditional dentistry dealt exclusively with teeth and oral part. It did not consider teeth to be part of the body and treated separately. Teeth fillings were used which were hazardous for the body. Now all that has changed and holistic approach is taken, from teeth whitening to cavity filling. Under holistic approach, teeth are treated as part of the body and not as a separate part from the body.

Under this approach, it is said that tooth is part of the body. Anything that affects the tooth also affects the body as a whole. So, if mercury, silver or any amalgam is used in teeth then it will cause damage to health. Filling material such as mercury is not only dangerous but mercury is the second most dangerous material after radioactive substances.

Therefore, with mercury in your tooth, and therefore, in your body, it is lethal and hazardous.  Moreover, it is now believed that the harmful effect of traditional dental fillings is much more that what appears apparently. The visible damage or seeable damage is not the only one. It is merely part of much larger damage or harm to the body. So only part of the harm is seen that is visible.

Dentists check dental health superficially first. Then they also enquire about food habits and lifestyle pattern. The food habits determine the type of your dental problem. Dentist may suggest non-intrusive therapy as well. He may not go for surgery and suggest proper food and nutrition along with proper dental care. Proper dental care, precautionary steps and good food habits must be followed for minor problems.

You might be asked to brush teeth regularly. The proper way to brush, the use of proper type of brush typical for your teeth. Brush should be done regularly at morning and at night. At nighttime, brush should be done after dinner or before going to sleep. The doctor can suggest proper dental care such as use of the right toothpaste in your case.

Dentists use holistic approach and rely on antibiotics as well because some fillings may require some effects. They also suggest other medicines not traditionally suggested or by dentists. Modern day dentists use holistic approach on patients and use biocompatible methods in their treatment. They also do biocompatible therapy for restoration as well. So for every procedure, whether it is small or big, biocompatible dentistry is the answer.
