Holistic Dentistry: Understanding The Mouth Body Connection

6/12/2020

4 Comments

 
Holistic is more than a catch phrase of the millennium. It is a core philosophy of healthcare that recognizes the intimate connection of each part of the body, and how those relationships affect wellness. Historically, the western world has treated the mouth as a separate entity from the rest of the body. Fortunately, that concept is shifting today. As well-informed consumers gain a clearer understanding of the mouth-body connection, they want the health benefits of holistic dentistry, for themselves and the ones they love. If you are searching for "holistic family dentistry near me" in Georgia, you have come to the right dentist – Dr. Don Jones of Social Circle Dental.


​Health benefits of holistic dental care

    •    Everything that goes into your mouth affects your body.
    •    Whatever is happening in your body leaves evidence in your mouth.

Holistic dentistry is that simple and that complex. At the core of holistic dentistry is a commitment to use the safest instruments, dental materials, and techniques available to avoid adverse impact on the mouth and body. For example, Dr. Jones does not place amalgam fillings, which contain toxic mercury. He uses composite resin filling materials for cavity repairs that blend naturally with the smile, and do not expose the brain or body to the potential health hazards of mercury. This is especially important for children, who are both more cavity-prone, and more susceptible to mercury poisoning.

If a patient wishes to have amalgam fillings removed, Dr. Jones does so utilizing strict guidelines from the IAOMT. These extra steps protect the patient and dental staff from particulate matter containing mercury, and from toxic vapor.


​The convenience of family dentistry

Families are busy today. When everyone sees one dentist, appointments can be scheduled the same day to reduce travel and time away from work, school, or activities.

Call Social Circle Dental today at 770-464-1900 for an appointment with Dr. Jones.

Thank you for this very informative blog post! Patients' oral health and dental care are the primary emphasis of dentistry. Traditionally, dentists have been regarded as a separate specialty, but in the United States, they are considered doctors.

Oral hygiene, tooth decay, fillings, crowns and bridgework are all things dentists can help with, among other things. Periodontal disease and tooth decay can also be diagnosed by a dentist using radiography or other diagnostic methods.

If you have ever been to the dentist, you have probably heard of the term “holistic dentistry.” Holistic dentistry is an approach to dental care that takes into account the whole person, not just their teeth and gums. This means that practitioners of holistic dentistry look at how oral health can impact overall health, and vice versa.

Dentistry is often thought of as simply taking care of teeth, but there is much more to it than that. Holistic dentistry takes into account the mouth body connection, understanding that the mouth is connected to the rest of the body and what happens in the mouth can affect the rest of the body. This approach to dentistry looks at the whole person, not just their teeth, and strives to create a healthy environment in the mouth that will promote overall health and wellness.
