What Are Some Examples Of Holistic Dentistry?
We can enhance your dental experience through the use of several alternative therapies. Some of these include:
- Aromatherapy and music therapy – We use pure essential oils to calm our patients, clean the air and create a relaxing aroma. This results in a more relaxed and pleasant experience for our patients.
- Ozone therapy – When medical-grade pure oxygen passes through a corona discharge generator, it generates pure ozone. This can be filtered through pure olive oil to create oxygenated olive oil. This kind of therapy is useful for the treatment of periodontal disease, tooth decay and tooth sensitivity.
- SMART amalgam removal – Biological dentistry focuses on the use of non-toxic materials and techniques.
- Saliva testing – This involves analyzing a saliva sample for the top five bacterial pathogens that cause patients to be at high risk for infection, inflammation and gum disease. If harmful bacteria are found, we can begin a course of treatment to help eliminate the bad bacteria while encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria.
