All About Holistic Dentistry

Experience an alternative approach to oral health with a holistic dentist

Melbourne! Have you heard of alternative medicine? If you haven’t, alternative medicine refers to non-surgical procedures that aid in curing illnesses and provide quality medical care without the complications usually involved in traditional medical and/or surgical methods.

Well, it is pretty easy to imagine the concept of alternative medicine being applied to dental care.

Yes! The analogue of alternative medicine in terms of dental care is alternative dentistry, also known as holistic dentistry or biological dentistry.

Any form of alternative medicine follows that the entire body is a system whose various components are interlinked together. As such, attending to the body as a whole through therapeutically approved methods and non-surgical procedures can cure or treat any condition.  

Holistic dentistry takes a person’s physical and emotional health into consideration to understand, diagnose, and treat oral problems and conditions.  

Melbourne Dental Family Care is the premier dental clinic for holistic dental care in Melbourne. We offer a wide range of expertise in various disciplines of dentistry and our experience in holistic dentistry is renowned not only in Melbourne but also throughout VIC.

The basis of holistic dentistry

Not everyone realises that the good health of the teeth and the gums are vital for the overall good health of the body. However, holistic dentistry realises the importance of this and adopts techniques that cater to the overall health of the body. This, in turn, not only treat oral health issues but also promotes the well-being of the body as a whole.

Holistic dentistry vs Traditional dentistry

Holistic dental care is a vast field and the various practices involved in it hold a lot of versatility. However, regardless of the channel of holistic dentistry, there exists a set of common opinions that oppose certain practices followed in traditional dental care. These include but are not limited to the following:

  • The use of amalgam as a material in dental fillings, as amalgam is considered to be toxic to the body
  • Unnecessary surgical procedures for simple issues of the oral cavity
  • Root canal treatment, as it is believed that RCT leads to the dispersion of bacteria throughout the body

Regardless of the beliefs, holistic dentistry has established itself as a dependable, safe, and effective mode of alternative dental care. Holistic dentistry is widely followed by the people of Melbourne and we at Melbourne Dental Family Care have treated countless individuals opting for our holistic dentists through high quality and expert dental care.

The Holistic Dental Network defines holistic dentistry as “an approach to dentistry that promotes health and wellness instead of the treatment of disease”.

At Melbourne Dental Family Care, our holistic dentistry services are based on the following principles which reciprocate with the intention of providing quality dental care to the people of Melbourne whilst contributing to their overall health and wellness:

  • Avoiding any form of toxins from dental materials
  • Proper nutrition, sleep, and overall wellness for the prevention and treatment of degenerative oral health issues
  • Prevention and treatment of gum disease and related problems
  • Treatment of bite problems

Holistic dental experts opt for unconventional methods and practices to provide dental care. We use products that are:

  • Plant-based
  • Free from fluoride
  • Non-surgical

For instance, a holistic dentist would use a dental laser to ease pain arising out of teeth or jaw misalignment, such as TMJ. The objective of using the dental laser for pain relief and treatment is to reduce the amount of inflammation in the affected area and trigger the inherent property of the tissues to heal by themselves.

With the plethora of scientific and technological advances in recent years, we have come to the realisation that a single concept is connected to various other concepts, all of which operate together towards the working of a system as a whole.
