Holistic dentistry goes beyond simply filling cavities or treating gum disease—it embraces the connection between your oral health and overall well-being. Schedule an appointment with Brighton Dental for a fresh start for your smile!
What services are available at a holistic dental office?
We provide most of the services you find in a conventional dental office. So, if you have a cavity, missing tooth, or gum disease, we are well-equipped to restore your oral health. However, we go beyond traditional care by providing specialized services that you won’t typically find in a mainstream dental clinic, such as:
- Ozone therapy: Ozone is a natural approach to eliminating bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens. We incorporate ozone therapy in dental cleanings, periodontal care, and other procedures.
- Safe amalgam removal: As a mercury-safe practice, we are equipped and trained to safely remove and replace amalgam fillings.Â
What makes holistic care unique?
A holistic dentist takes a comprehensive approach to your care, seeing you as a whole person rather than just a set of teeth and gums. We consider how your oral health is interconnected with your physical and emotional well-being.
Here is what sets us apart from mainstream dentists.
- Addressing the root source: Rather than focusing on just treating symptoms, a holistic dentist identifies and addresses the root causes of dental issues. For instance, when you visit us for cavity care, we won’t just fill your cavity and send you home. We’ll inquire into your oral hygiene, diet, medical history, etc., to identify the root cause. This approach ensures effective dental care and supports long-term health and wellness.
- Minimally invasive procedures: We prioritize gentle and conservative care. This means we use techniques and therapies that preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. Our “less is more” approach focuses on small, precise interventions that are kinder to your teeth and gums.
- We focus on prevention: We are all about stopping problems before they start. Dr. Paige Woods and her team work with you to create healthy habits with proper oral hygiene, nutrition, and mindful lifestyle choices. Prevention helps you avoid the need for more serious and costly procedures.
- Natural, biocompatible therapies: Holistic dentists use safe, natural materials that work well with your body. This includes options like mercury-free fillings and fluoride alternatives. We ensure our dental restorations support your oral health without introducing harmful substances.
- Mouth-body connection: Your mouth and body are closely linked—what happens in your mouth can affect your systemic health and vice versa. Holistic dentistry looks at oral health in the context of your whole body, helping you achieve total wellness.
