Holistic dentistry is an approach to oral care that considers your overall health and well-being, rather than just your teeth and gums. It’s all about treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. This can include things like using natural materials, addressing the root causes of dental problems, and taking into account the impact of dental treatments on the rest of your body. Some examples of holistic dental treatments might be using mercury-free fillings, using lasers instead of drills, and recommending dietary changes to improve oral health.
We often underestimate the importance of our teeth until something happens and we stop smiling, or we are in considerable pain or discomfort. General Dentistry involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide array of conditions and diseases affecting the teeth, gums, and maxillofacial aspects of your oral health.
Regular checkups and oral health maintenance, such as hygiene appointments, prevent the development of serious dental problems that can require costly treatment.
During your appointment, we will work with you to develop a customised dental plan that incorporates a dental examination, hygiene, scaling, and x-rays. This is with the aim of preventing decay or disease of the teeth, mouth, gums, and tongue.
your dentist can also offer help with overall health respects. In may respects, your oral health can be seen as a mirror of your general health, as some dental problems may reflect issues in other parts of your body, and vice versa. General dentists are trained to identify issues and correlations, such as untreated oral infections and poorer control of diabetes, or an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, or complications during pregnancy. Once these problems has been identified, we can offer appropriate treatment or referral when needed. Our general dentists can also offer nutritional counselling, advice on tobacco cessation, ew and general health and wellness information.
