There is no dental school that teaches “holistic dentistry”.
You could substitute the words biological, integrative, natural, whole person, wellness
and longevity and they could all fit. To me, holistic means taking a broader
perspective, knowing your patient and what they want. It means working with
people who share a common mission and purpose. Recognizing that what works with
one person might not work for the next. Listening to what they have to say and
honoring it. Striving to love people and help them heal via dentistry. Being
holistic and natural also involves avoiding drugs and surgery when possible,
caring for the teeth and tissue of the mouth as if they were your own. Everything matters in this type of dentistry. The most bio-compatable dental materials, filtered air and water, and most of all a great team of caring people. Everything matters. These
principles have taught me to work slower but more effectively, preserving and
protecting what nature has given the patient. I do my very best for each person I come in contact with. I strive to do the least
invasive, longest acting and least toxic treatments that I possibly can, doing
so with love and kindness. To me, this is holistic dentistry.
Wishing all of you well,

ReplyDeleteOne of the specialties of holistic dentistry is the employment of state-of-the-art dental techniques and biocompatible materials in patient treatments to reduce possible toxic and allergic reactions, while at the same time delivering exceptional cosmetic results.
