Holistic Dental Care
|
| Holistic
dentistry is a gentler alternative to conventional dentistry.
It is more about whole person care of the mouth, using non-toxic
dental restorative materials, microbiological control of gum
infections, herbal therapy, homeopathy, and more.
In holistic dentistry, one important decision you make is choosing an alternative to dental amalgam cavity fillings. An amalgam filling is a mixture of half silver and half mercury, and mercury is a toxic element and known poison. When it is released into the body where it lodges into the body's tissues, it causes poisoning and a lowered immune response. Additionally, during amalgam removal, some believe that unless one takes precautions (i.e. a dental dam), there will be a great deal of mercury poisoning. |
