Holistic dentistry

What is a Holistic Dentist?

A holistic dentist considers the health of the entire body, not just the teeth and gums. Also called a biologic dentist, the emphasis is on treating the mouth and if other conditions are noted, offering advice or referrals to other health care providers. Many holistic dentists can provide information on nutritional changes that can help in treating certain conditions.

A holistic dentist offers treatment that does not compromise the immune system or that might worsen an existing condition such as diabetes.
