New research and new diseases are prompting some dentists to question the wisdom of traditional dental materials and dental procedures. These dentists practice what is called holistic or biological dentistry.Biological dentists recognize the close connection between dental health and such areas as nutrition, body structure, the cranial system, the immune system and the central nervous system. Most are very concerned about the materials used in dental fillings, the safety of root canals, cavitations and holistic approaches to gum disease. Many are interested in nutritional aspects of dentistry and the alignment of the temporo-mandibular joint.
The purpose of this article is to inform, so that each can make the best dental choices. State dental boards acknowledge this view, but often censure and harrass those who offer holistic dentistry. The future of biological dentistry depends upon your understanding and willingness to insist upon the dental treatment of your choice. Let us discuss several dental topics.
