Holistic Dentistry in Eagle Rock CA

Explore the link between oral health and overall wellness with holistic dentistry in Eagle Rock CA.

Webster’s defines holistic as concerned with “complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts.” Therefore holistic dentistry in Eagle Rock CA is a philosophical stance which recognizes that tooth and gum problems cannot be treated without regard for their impact on other systems in the body. Dentists who take this approach are very careful to educate patients on the link between oral health and various diseases and conditions, including:

  • Endocarditis
  • Heart disease
  • Premature birth
  • Low birth weight
  • Diabetes
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Mercury poisoning from metal fillings

Core Services Included in Holistic Dentistry in Eagle Rock CA

Professionals who practice holistic dentistry in Eagle Rock CA typically offer all the treatments you would expect from quality dentist. They are simply performing them from a different perspective, which may influence the techniques and materials that are used. Some of the core services a holistic dentist would focus on include:

  • Metal-Free Restorations: All too often, patients end up with dangerous heavy metals in their systems due to the use of materials like mercury and nickel in restorations. Holistic dentists never use heavy metals, instead providing metal-free options for fillings, crowns, bridges, and more.
  • Safe Removal of Amalgam Fillings: Silver amalgam fillings may pose an active threat to your health if they contain dangerous heavy metals. Fortunately as an adherent of holistic dentistry in Eagle Rock CA, California Dental Group can replace your old metal fillings with safe, attractive white composite ones.
  • Exams: Visiting a holistic dentist for your routine exams can have a significant benefit, as holistic dentists are better equipped to detect oral health issues that may be linked to larger health problems. For example, if you are prediabetic, your holistic dentist might notice a severe gum disease infection that could signal a progression of your diabetes and then advise you to get your blood sugar tested.
  • Cleanings: Excessive oral bacteria are the linking factor between poor oral health and many conditions like heart disease and diabetes. While all dentists recognize the value of dental cleanings in controlling oral bacteria, only holistic dentists really appreciate the benefit cleanings provide for the whole body. They can educate you on this topic to help motivate you to get your routine cleanings each year.
  • Home Care: Some chemicals that are used in oral care products may have an unintended impact on the whole body. Your holistic dentist can recommend natural products that do not contain dubious or risky chemicals like fluoride, dyes, preservatives, and other additives.
