What is Biological Dentistry?

Biological Dentistry, also known as holistic or integrative dentistry, is a revolutionary approach that views oral health as an integral part of overall well-being. Unlike traditional dentistry, which often focuses solely on treating symptoms within the mouth, biological dentistry recognizes the intricate connections between oral health and the entire body. This comprehensive approach considers how dental procedures, materials, and oral conditions can impact not just your teeth and gums, but your whole-body health.

At the heart of biological dentistry lies the principle of biocompatibility - using materials and techniques that work in harmony with the body's natural processes. Practitioners in this field prioritize the use of non-toxic, mercury-free materials and employ techniques like the SMART method for safe mercury amalgam removal. They also pay close attention to the potential systemic effects of common dental procedures, such as root canals, and explore alternative treatments that support the body's innate healing abilities.
