What Is Biological Dentistry

Biological dentistry combines the techniques and artistry of general dentistry with a focus on the implications oral health has on the entire body. Biological dentistry recognizes the link between oral health and general health.

A biological dentist appreciates that the diseases and materials in your mouth can have lasting, negative affects on other systems in your body. Biological dentists also work with other like-minded health care providers to assess the compatibility of dental materials, to provide nutritional support, and, if needed, to provide detoxification from the damaging affects of oral toxins. The biological dentist keeps your whole health in mind not just the condition of your teeth and mouth.
