1. Introduction
The biological dentistry practice is a complementary treatment including very high quality and safe care. When the patient goes to this clinic, they find the following therapies: homeopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic, alternative dentistry, aesthetic surgery, among others. The adhesive materials used in teeth, bad breath, microbial biofilms, as well as for the different odontologic specialties, which includes the importance of the nutrients of good food, education, and oral health are factors which are deepened. The purpose of this article is to organize the presentation of the main attributes of biological dentistry, which is considered an appropriate treatment, useful in password. The other different dental philosophies are responsible for dental issues, which may present other types of undesirable difficulties.
We all have heard of the biological dentist, but do we understand what these professionals have as differences when compared to a conventional dentist? There is a structural difference in relation to the care with the mouth of the patients, which the biological dentists take. Thus, out of fear of not more people, the biological dental clinics are being requested. Moreover, in addition to other evasive aspects of health provision, its control line can exert important influence. However, it is still little known.
1.1. Overview of Biological Dentistry
Over time, biological and holistic dentists have been challenging the dental establishment with new ideas. Let me clarify: most biological dentists welcome partnerships; they don’t exclude other dentists. Biological dentists commit to health and prevention at the highest level and place the patient’s best interest first. Biological dentistry is a way of life, a roadmap to guide oneself through the labyrinth of dental mysteries, a purpose, and guide early reverses, and the diagnosis and treatment of the origin of unknown oral-systemic related problems, placing an emphasis on the promotion of overall health rather than only dental disease management, often using alternative mercury-free options. Yet the existing challenges we face are that the scientific base for this important specialty is still poorly recognized and mostly by competition from many others. This is mainly due to our rich antagonistic lifestyle and our exclusively reductionistic diagnostic and therapeutic methodology. With the advancement in research involving Immunology, Craniofacial orchestrator signaling which reflect teeth-shape interactions or modulations, DNA-based mineralization, and large patient cohort databases, can help to progress these goals to gain more recognition. First and foremost, we must chase educational insufficiency down the drain, always promote international research collaborations to exchange our knowledge and enhance our technical characteristics, give recognition to our advantages and limitations, and enhance technological collaboration among the many experts. The mouth reflects and influences the health of the diverse regions within the body. Each and every connection within the oral cavity contributes to the oral-systemic interaction. The body’s systemic health does rely on certain key factors, but the principle underlying the holistic concept is that nothing is done in isolation.
As we focus on the oral cavity at its connection to the body’s larger systems, we better equip ourselves to offer healthy holistic treatments while simultaneously optimizing our patients’ overall health. Nothing is done in isolation. We have seen countless patients shift from a place of health crisis, not improving under traditional care, and regain their health as they have their pathological oral conditions treated. These benefits often come from removing traditional materials, infections, and toxins to allow the body to heal. Small adjustments made during dental treatment can positively affect various systems, not only the body as a whole, but relationships within families and individuals on a daily basis. These transformative changes, which occur when changed biologically minded dentistry, appear small and gradual, yet the cumulative health benefits grow enormous.
2. Understanding Traditional vs. Biological Dentistry
Today, healthier, more informed consumers understand the significance of removing mercury fillings. You can still find out if your dentist is one of the many who believe that mercury is stable in the mouth, that removed mercury fillings must be disposed of as hazardous waste, and that you can’t get sick from mercury fillings. They are one of the reasons that adhesive dentistry and white composite fillings became highly desirable while the dental establishment argued about the scientific evidence against mercury fillings and the safety of today’s mercury fillings. However, safety concerns regarding mercury fillings from both a patient and dentist perspective have grown. Even though the dental establishment claims that there is no scientific evidence to justify patient or dentist concerns, calcium hydroxide, the material that must be used to protect the nerve before a mercury filling is placed, is not allowed to be used as a direct pulp cap beneath a white filling. The lining material used beneath an amalgam filling is not biocompatible, meaning it cannot stimulate the growth of new dentin, as it can beneath a white filling, to protect the nerve. The substance the dental board says may be placed next to the nerve for that direct pulp cap is calcium leucinate, a viscous, irritant, caustic, preservative, strongly oxidizing, and mitochondrial decay substance that has not been determined to be safe.
Understanding the importance of biological dentistry starts with understanding the differences between dentists who treat the mouth traditionally and those who believe that removing toxic materials from the mouth and replacing them with biocompatible materials is essential to the health and wellness of their patients. Traditionally trained dentists are indeed skilled, but we are learning that they have not been trained to explain or necessarily diagnose the types and sources of health problems faced by their patients. This is a growing potential problem for those who ignore the link between the health of the mouth and overall systemic health. Most dentists still think that it is of little or no concern if they put mercury in your mouth and that your chronic fatigue, depression, or other health problems have nothing to do with your dental history.
2.1. Key Differences
Although biological dentists use the same materials and procedures as conventional dentists for the most part, there are several key differences that set them apart. They are known to use mercury-free white fillings rather than amalgam, non-toxic tooth-whitening options, biocompatible materials in dental work, and detoxification before and after dental procedures. The use of biocompatible materials is a major difference between these two practices, as conventional materials can cause harmful effects elsewhere in the body. Another major difference between the two is that biological dentists do not use fluoride and are comfortable removing mercury fillings safely. They also use homeopathy as a complementary therapy to help avoid and cure oral diseases, and often allow patients to remove infections with a natural, non-invasive approach through a process called Biological Extractions. These are just some examples of how a biological dentist can help keep your body healthier every day.
3. The Impact of Oral Health on Overall Well-being
Children treated by biological dentistry will require fewer, if any, “banded” or “chained to brace” orthodontic work, since their faces will develop properly. This impacts airways, increasing their oxygen levels. It starts early, developing a sense of pride and self-esteem based on a more attractive and healthier-looking appearance. It continues into their adult years with avoiding abnormal wear of the teeth, teeth that are fashioned and grown to serve lifelong purposes, instead of failing over time. It continues to go far beyond those years in assuring that a person’s muscles, organs, and arteries are shaped and arranged for peak health and the best possible physical performance.
The health of our mouth is directly related to our overall physical health. Disease-causing bacteria in our mouth, or any disease, can migrate within your body – certainly not the desired destination. Some health issues that are the result of or directly related to poor oral health are heart disease, diabetes, and oral cancer. There are other more subtle and/or rare problems such as a higher risk of miscarriage, an increased severity of diabetes, and even a higher risk of nerve damage caused by poorly performed dental procedures. The integration of your overall health is the most important aspect of biologic dentistry, after all, your mouth is indeed part of your body. However, biologic dental treatment should never come at the expense of the standard of care you expect to receive as a patient: both should be delivered with uncompromised excellence.
3.1. Links to Systemic Health
By being health and eco-conscious stewards of dental health in both the mouth and this larger network of tooth-associated health, each person’s small-scale dental health restoration via the intervention of the grassroots dental professionals that exist within this holistic dental care system may support far-reaching efforts to maintain and promote health by contributing to environmental, climate, agriculture, and other human health efforts that also benefit from the proper balance maintenance within diverse ecosystems, while restoring and optimizing dental health for each patient.
The potential beneficial relationship between the body and its tooth-specific bacteria is now considered in patient care. In some cases, research supports colonization by biofilms consisting of strains of bacteria estimated, supported, or proven to be beneficial to tooth, gum, and even bone health. This technique is commonly called probiotic staining for oral health. It has been suggested that exposure to the beneficial strains found in ProBioral™ and ProBiora® may protect against an array of serious illnesses. Moreover, some researchers have defined a suite of bacteria usually found in health and suggest it should be a potential target for helping to support oral health across the lifespan when the health of our mouths and their bacteria can have just as much impact on systemic health as their disease does.
It has been well documented that the health of our oral cavity and surrounding structures can have an impact on our systemic health, which in turn can affect other, seemingly unrelated conditions. The meandering nature of blood vessels traveling to and from our dentition and oral cavity is problematic on this front. One potential focal point for systemic health impact of poor oral health resides in the mix of anaerobic bugs inoculating the complex and manifold surfaces of the mouth and teeth. It is the biofilm, not the bacteria per se, that does most of the damage when these organisms are implicated as co-morbid for a variety of illnesses. The often-cited infectious diseases intertwined with oral biofilm include those involving our major organs of respiration (sinus infections, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis, and even lung infections) and the gastrointestinal tract (gastro-esophageal reflux disease, ulcers, and inflammatory bowel disease). The heart and circulatory system (atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke), neurological problems (stroke and Parkinson’s disease), and other sites of infection and sepsis also can be linked with the bacterial excesses found on and below the surfaces of ‘bad’ teeth, implants, and other dental materials. Consequently, our systemic health can often perform better when the bacteria of our mouths play a beneficial instead of a sinister role, even though their presence must not render our teeth into free-range food.
4. Benefits of Choosing a Biological Dentist
“Preventive medicine is bound to fail when making local attempts to white-out diseases, while in reality generative processes succeed on a global level. Today, high-tech medicine must develop its potential for preventing the degeneration of the individual.” Current dental treatment largely fails the individual who avoids the dentist until he develops symptoms other than pain. Knowledge, safe treatment, comfort, and unbiased information are necessary for the recovery of trust from these patients.
The decision about oral health can affect the whole body. The traditional methods of dental practice often result in systemic diseases and conditions. The main goal of fundamental treatment in biological dentistry is to ensure that dental work is perfect. But first and foremost, our aim is to teach every client what to do about oral health with nutrition, breathing, posture, exercise, relaxation, and psychology; how to obtain the basic biocompatible treatment all these improving activities produce; and finally, how to find the excellent biological dentist in case their support alone is not enough. The work of the biological dentist concentrates on the whole body, not only on the teeth. Proper treatment design and guidance requires knowledge about nutrition, allergies, digestion, homeostasis, environment, and detoxification.
4.1. Holistic Approach to Dental Care
Biological dentists practice a form of dentistry that takes a more holistic approach to caring for the teeth, gums, and bones of the mouth. Because the mouth and body are closely connected, a biological dentist considers a person’s overall health when creating a care plan. Mainstream dental practices may not take into consideration how dental care might impact overall health. The Environmental Working Group reports that typical dentists use a variety of toxic fillings, sealants, and bonding materials. Biological dentists work to choose dental products that are free of BPA and contain no toxic chemicals. Recommended dental materials that contain no BPAs, fluoride free, and contain no known toxic chemicals.
5. Conclusion
In conclusion, biological dentistry sets up the necessary conditions for the body to optimize its own healing potential and indeed prevent illness and address the root causes of many of today’s health concerns as a bonus! Seek out a biological or holistic hygienist and dentist. Interview! As these providers will emit integrity and experience and genuine commitment. Diplomatically let the current practitioners know that you will no longer be returning and let the current practitioners know why you are leaving them. After your needs are seen to in an integrated systemic approach by a dentist, also learn about biological orthodontics if the need arises. Your new biological dentist will be able to guide you in avoiding root canals, assess the safety of pre-existing root canals or help guard against the horrors of chronic infections in them, optimize nutrition for health and address other potential health compromisers that may be hiding in your mouth. The change will reveal benefits to your current health and make way for a healthier future.
Biological dentistry must become the go-to choice for many reasons. It truly is our systemic dentistry and holds the keys to our transformation in relationship to health and wellbeing. There are also hidden psychological benefits to taking a step to a more holistic approach in our dental regimen. By researching options and making more direct choices in this area, it helps to establish or re-establish a feeling of control over one’s life choices. Feeling more effective and justified in proactive self-stewardship creates fewer feelings of helplessness or powerlessness in today’s prognosis-focused healthcare model. There are studies that show that those who have a greater sense of control in life live longer with a greater sense of joy.
5.1. Key Takeaways
Your natural teeth and gums should be around as long as you are, so it’s essential to work with an experienced and knowledgeable dentist who understands and supports the body’s innate healing ability. Most biological dentists can focus on cranial and jaw alignment, removable dentures, orthoapnea devices, fluoride treatments, lip and tongue-tie procedures, and the use of ozone and lasers to enhance healing, contribute to the natural functionality of the oral cavity, and promote better dental treatments. They offer other less invasive and more natural techniques. Non-bacterial treatments can actually help your gums heal, and these treatments are better than overusing other antibiotics. Using massages, acupuncture, and essential oils can help promote gum healing, enhance body relaxation, and stimulate a balanced immune response.
Biological dentistry is an innovative and less invasive approach to oral health that prioritizes elements of biological, restorative, and aesthetic dentistry while recognizing the connection between gum and tooth health and the well-being of the rest of the body. When you switch to a biological dentist, they’ll be more likely than traditional dentists to help you take steps to improve your whole-body health that aren’t directly related to your mouth. They will discourage the use of toxic heavy metals such as amalgams, mercury, and nickel, and discourage the removal of healthy tooth structure for aesthetic purposes.
