The Pros of Basic Holistic Dentistry
In dentistry, holistic refers to treating a person in whole. Instead of solely looking at the dental problem for a dental solution; a holistic approach considers oral health along with physical and mental health as well.
For example: The mental state of a patient who requires dentures would be a factor considered prior to molding or fitting. Holistic dentistry includes the process of considering a persons’ body’s compatibility with the materials used in the braces they need. As well as a patients’ home care, dietary needs and etc. after a procedure like a root canal. It is the acknowledgement that dental procedures can take not only an oral toll but a physical or mental toll as well. Its plans in entirety work to consider all factors and prevent the recurrence of the ailment(s) that called for the procedure/dentist in the first place.
Along with the ability to stay away from pesky x-rays and the radiation that comes with them. Holistic dental care can provide patients’ with a greater understanding about themselves. Giving them piece of mind about the procedures they need and the medications they may need to take to help them heal.
