What is the difference between a holistic dentist and a general dentist?

The core philosophy behind holistic dentistry revolves around eliminating sources of chemical and bacterial toxicity from the mouth. Our holistic dentists in East Fremantle, WA, focus on comprehensive health by considering the impact of dental treatments on the entire body. Holistic dental care prioritises treatments and materials that work harmoniously with the body's natural systems. 

Preventing Chemical and Bacterial Toxins

Chemical toxins in dentistry often come from traditional filling materials, such as those containing mercury. On the other hand, bacterial toxins can originate from various sources, including gum disease, infected teeth and partially extracted teeth from previous treatments. If not properly addressed, these toxins can lead to chronic infections and systemic health issues. With holistic dentistry, we focus on preventing these harmful toxins from impacting your dental and overall health. 

Common Holistic Treatments

Holistic dental treatments often include but aren't limited to:

1. Biocompatible Restorations — These include crowns, bridges, fillings and other restorations made from natural materials like ceramic or composite resin, which are safe for the body and aesthetically pleasing.
2. Safe Removal of Amalgam Fillings — We can safely remove silver amalgam fillings and replace them with tooth-coloured composite fillings. 
3. Gum Disease Treatment — Our holistic approach includes personalised care for oral diseases so we can help eliminate bacterial toxins and promote healthy gums.
4. Infection Management — We provide personalised treatments for infected teeth and ensure any tooth extractions are free from residual bacteria.

5. Nutritional Counseling — Holistic dentists may provide guidance on diet and nutrition to support oral health and prevent dental issues naturally.
