WHAT DO HOLISTIC DENTISTS DO DIFFERENTLY?

We have listed below what distinguishes the approach of a holistic dentist from a traditional dentist and how our team of dentists at Dent Ally, awarded best dental clinic in Delhi practice each of these principles while treating our patients:

 

• Holistic Approach:They understand that the mouth does not exist in a silo, and that the procedures they perform on your teeth will have lasting effects on the rest of your body as well. They also understand that what goes on in your body, whether positive or negative, will have serious effects on your mouth. Because of this understanding of the mouth-body connection, our team of dentists at Dent Ally take time to sit down with their patients and gather as much information about their health as possible–not just their dental health, but their diet, their lifestyle, and their mental and emotional health as well. They take all of this into consideration to determine the best approach for your dental health and overall well-being.

 

• Bio-compatible materials: Chemicals such as mercury, BPA are not used by holistic dentists as they have been found to be toxic to the body. Holistic dentists only use the most biocompatible and safe filling materials. They never do mercury or metal fillings. To know more about the materials we use for our fillings at Dent Ally, you can refer to our blog here.

 

• Preventive Approach: Holistic dentists are focused on preventing oral health diseases . At Dent Ally, our team of dentists work as partners with our patients by creating awareness, educating them and teaching them preventive ways and techniques to maintain oral health.

 

• Use of Ozone: Ozone is super charged oxygen and has been found to be an ideal disinfectant. Holistic dentists use it to treat infection sites.At Dent Ally, our team of dentists use it for various sensitivities, infected teeth and extraction sites.

 

• Use of Distilled Water and Highest Level of sterlization: Holistic dentists understand the risks of cross infection and strongly follow all practices to minimize the occurrence of the same. At Dent Ally, we use only distilled water for all our treatments and strictly follow sterilization protocol. We have been awarded by University of Loiuseville, USA for the sterilization protocol that we follow.

 

• Safe Amalgam Removal: For patients who have metallic mercury fillings in their mouth, holistic dentists use a very specialized process to safely remove it. At Dent Ally, our dentists use a high volume evacuator, rubber dams etc. to ensure safe removal and prevent any pooling or ingestion of any amalgam during its removal.

 

• Advice Proper Nutrition to prevent and reverse dental disease: Nutrition is an important element for faster recovery from infections and prevention from any secondary infection. It makes the patient more adaptive to dental treatments and acts as an adjunct to other medications for healing.At Dent Ally, our dentists advise proper nutrition to prevent and reverse dental diseases.

 

• Prevention and treatment of malocclusion: Malocclusion can hamper the patients healthy eating habits and lifestyle. Several patients complain of an unexplained discomfort on chewing even after getting the tooth prosthesis fixed. This is because their occlusion is not kept under consideration while replacing their teeth. Holistic dentistry is all about rehabilitating patients’ teeth keeping in mind the ideal occlusion and the detrimental effects of malocclusion on the patients overall health and surrounding facial structures. We have malocclusion specialists at Dent Ally, dental clinic with the best dentists in Delhi, who are trained and specialists in treating occlusion.

 

• Limited exposure to radiation: Holistic dentistry advises using the minimum dosage of radiation possible by adapting to most advanced digital x-ray systems and we at Dent Ally only use digital xrays to ensure minimum exposure to our patients.
