3 Reasons to Choose a Holistic Dentist

Health and wellness begin in your mouth. Taking good care of your teeth can have significant positive effects on the rest of your body. Learn more about the holistic services we provide at our Calgary dental clinic and how we help protect your oral and general health. 

Taking good care of your mouth, teeth, and gums is a worthy goal in and of itself. Practicing good oral hygiene such as brushing and flossing daily can help prevent bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease, and prevent tooth loss as you get older.

But did you know that a healthy mouth is important for more than just shiny teeth? Regular dental hygiene can help you ward off other serious medical disorders, such as:

• stroke
• heart attack
• poorly controlled diabetes
• preterm labor

3 Major Benefits of Holistic Dentistry

Like many other holistic approaches to living, holistic dentistry works to avoid potentially harmful materials by taking a more natural and preventative approach to dental medicine. With an emphasis on a patient’s overall well-being, holistic dentistry strives to help individuals achieve balance and harmony within their entire body.

Some of the incredible benefits of holistic dentistry include:

1. It Looks At More Than Just Your Oral Health

When you visit a holistic dental clinic, you can be sure that your overall health and well-being will be important determinants when planning the best treatment option for you. Protecting your body’s natural balance is critical because poor oral health can often lead to poor physical health.

Did you know that poor oral health can increase your risk of:

• infertility
• cardiovascular disease
• pregnancy complications
• cancer
• rheumatoid Arthritis

By taking a preventative approach to dentistry and using only the safest, non-toxic materials, holistic dentistry focuses on your whole health and promotes overall wellness rather than simply the treatment of oral diseases.

2. It Helps Correct Any Harmful Dental Treatments You May Have

If you have any amalgam or silver fillings in your mouth, you should be aware that these may be releasing harmful, mercury-laden vapors into your body and can have many adverse effects on your health, including increasing your risk of:

• periodontal disease
• arthritis
• alzheimer's
• parkinsons
• asthma and other allergic disorders

At a holistic dental clinic, you can have these metal fillings replaced with stronger, safer, and more natural looking composite fillings. Your holistic dentist can ensure these amalgam fillings are removed in a safe environment where you are not exposed to any harmful vapors.

Why Replace Amalgam Fillings?

3. It Uses The Safest Materials

The materials used at a holistic dental clinic are free of toxins and your holistic dentist will not use any treatment that could be potentially harmful to your health.Your holistic dentist will always use:

• high quality biocompatible materials
• fluoride-free alternatives
• digital X-rays to minimise your exposure to radiation
• amalgam-free and amalgam-safe techniques to limit your exposure to potentially toxic materials

In addition, by using the least invasive procedures, your oral health professional will cut down on your recovery times so you can get back to being yourself as soon as possible.
