What is Biological Dentistry?

Biological dentistry is an approach that differs from traditional dentistry in that traditional dentistry focuses primarily on treating symptoms while biological dentistry strives to optimize health systems. Biological dentistry considers more than just teeth, gums, and jawbones – it considers energetic interferences, gut health, nutritional absorption, biocompatibility, and many other whole health connections.

A biological approach to dentistry stems from the perspective that everything that happens in your mouth impacts every other part of your body. biological dentistry focuses on optimizing health so that states of disease never start. 

Unlike conventional dentistry, if you have experienced common dental diseases or treatments, biological dentistry aims to remove all substances that are not in harmony with whole body health. Some of the most common dental materials used that are known to be toxic (mercury and nickel), while common dental treatments that may have a negative impact on health are mercury amalgam fillings, root canals, fluoride treatments, and titanium metal implants.

Removal of materials and teeth that present risk to your health and replacing them with biocompatible substances can be a positive way to bring your body’s health back to a state of balanced energy.
