Integrative dentistry focuses on the connection between oral health and overall health. Here are some ways a holistic approach differs from traditional dentistry to promote better health and well-being.
What Is a Holistic Approach to Dental Care?
Integrative or holistic dentistry goes beyond treating symptoms to address the underlying causes of dental problems. By looking at your overall health, diet, and lifestyle, Dr. Neish can develop a comprehensive treatment plan that supports your oral and overall wellness.
Using Biocompatible Materials
In integrative dentistry, we use biocompatible materials for dental treatments. These materials work harmoniously with your body, reduce the risk of allergic reactions, and promote natural healing. This approach ensures your dental treatments support your overall health rather than compromising it.
Reducing Systemic Inflammation
Gum disease and other oral infections can lead to systemic inflammation, which is linked to various chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis. Integrative dentistry aims to prevent and treat gum disease effectively, reducing inflammation and lowering the risk of associated health issues.
Providing Patient Care and Education
Integrative dentistry emphasizes preventive care and patient education. By providing you with the knowledge and tools to maintain good oral hygiene and make healthy lifestyle choices, Dr. Neish helps you prevent dental problems and improve your overall health.
