Holistic dentists are dedicated to saving teeth and providing beautiful smiles, but they also take into consideration how your oral health impacts your medical health.  While there are many factors they take into consideration, there are two areas of primary concern.

1. Infection – oral infections like periodontal gum disease or tooth abscesses are not just about tooth loss and pain.  These infections get into your blood stream easily where they can travel to other areas of your body.  The inflammation associated with these dental problems can also contribute to many major diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer.
2. Toxic Dental Materials – silver fillings, also called amalgams, are about 50% mercury.  Mercury is one of the most dangerous toxins known to man and has to be handled as hazardous waste.  It does not belong in your mouth.  Some people may be more sensitive to it than others, but we know that it can be dangerous for everyone.  Holistic dentists know how to remove these fillings safely and can provide you with the most biocompatible dental materials available.

You deserve a dentist who cares about your whole health.
