Holistic Dentistry Q&A
What is holistic dentistry?
Holistic dentistry focuses on more than just your oral health. The NYC Dental Wellness and Bergen Dental Wellness team treats your entire body and well-being with a high level of expertise. They provide personalized, holistic care to adults and children.
The teams’ holistic approach promotes better health and wellness for your mouth and the rest of your body. They recommend strategies to lower your risk of chronic health complications resulting from untreated oral health problems.
When should I consider holistic dentistry?
Consider the holistic dentistry services available at NYC Dental Wellness and Bergen Dental Wellness to improve your oral health and general physical wellness.
The team offers a range of holistic services to meet your needs. For instance, if you have metal-amalgam fillings containing mercury, they may be toxic to other parts of your body. The NYC Dental Wellness and Bergen Dental Wellness team can replace those fillings with mercury-free amalgam fillings.
You can also benefit from holistic treatment if you have gum disease. Gum (periodontal) disease causes inflammation, increasing your risk for heart disease and other chronic health complications.
Additionally, the NYC Dental Wellness and Bergen Dental Wellness team provides biocompatibility tests in their office. This testing is for people interested in dental implants or other services but concerned about allergies to dental materials like titanium. The team recommends alternatives to improve your teeth and gum health if allergies are a concern.
What happens during a holistic dentistry appointment?
During your initial holistic dentistry appointment, the NYC Dental Wellness and Bergen Dental Wellness team evaluates your overall oral and physical health.
With SMART amalgam removal, your provider can remove mercury fillings and restore your teeth with metal-free composite fillings. Composite fillings look more like your natural teeth, improving the appearance of your smile.
The dental specialists can also address existing gum disease with a personalized treatment plan. They focus on preventing the disease from getting worse by using medication, improved oral hygiene, and other strategies.
Bergen Dental Wellness and NYC Dental Wellness also offers biocompatibility testing to ensure that any dental prosthesis you receive won’t have a negative impact on your health.
For children, pediatric holistic dentistry care allows the team to track the health and development of kids’ teeth as they age. The dental team can lower your child’s risk of decay and disease using proactive, holistic treatments.
