What is Holistic Dentistry?
Holistic dentistry operates on the principle that dental health is interconnected with overall health and takes measures to promote the overall wellbeing of patients. Dr. Nalbandian belongs to a small subset of dentists that are invested in providing minimally invasive procedures using biocompatible materials to address dental needs. The mouth-body connection approach to total health care views the mouth as simply another organ of the body; its management must, therefore, be integrated into and not separated from the body as a whole.
Core Principles of Holistic Dentistry
- Prevention of Over Treatment: Holistic dentists put a more significant focus on preventative measures, stopping a problem before it starts. Routine dental examinations, appropriate nutrition, and regular oral hygiene practices are essential for good oral health.
- Biocompatible Materials: Use of biocompatible materials simply means using material that promotes overall wellbeing and does not cause harm to the body. This includes avoiding the use of toxic materials such as amalgam/mercury fillings.
- Whole-Body Health: A whole-body approach means taking into consideration ALL systemic conditions that could potentially impact the mouth. It also accounts for all oral health conditions that could lead to other systemic changes to deliver care that only promotes overall physical wellbeing.
- Minimally Invasive Techniques: Holistic dentistry strongly recommends the most conservative means of treatment possible.
Advantages of Holistic Dentistry
Here are some key benefits of holistic, aka natural, dentistry:
- Lower Toxic Exposure: Because it uses biocompatible materials, holistic dentistry can limit exposure to toxic chemicals often found in traditional dental treatments.
- Comprehensive Care: Holistic dentistry offers a broader perspective for complete and comprehensive dental care that takes into consideration all body systems.
- Natural Healing: Holistic dentistry provides care that supports the body’s own ability to heal itself.
- Personalized Treatment Plans: Holistic dentists generally engage with their patients at a deeper level providing a personalized approach based on specific requirements as well as unique health conditions.
When asked what she thought the most crucial part of dental care is, Dr. Nalbandian shared that it is “caring for and treating a human being as opposed to just their tooth.” Here, holistic dentistry is a mindset that represents the union between oral health and general well-being. Holistic dentists provide a more complete approach to dental health, using materials that are biocompatible and consider wellness of the whole body as top priority.
