Biological General Dentistry

Our philosophy of health care for the mouth integrates knowledge from ageless traditions of natural healing with that of contemporary dental science and technology. This holistic approach to dental care is known as Biological Dentistry. At the core of this approach to dental care is the recognition of the mouth as a micro-environment of the body with the potential to reflect changes in the health of the whole person.

When dental well-being exists, the mouth is free of any source of systemic or dental stress.

Dental Stress Can be Caused By:

  • Decaying teeth
  • Infection of the teeth and gums
  • Allergy or toxicity related to dental materials
  • Electromagnetic fields created by reactive dental metals
  • Discoloration / disfigurement of the teeth
  • Imbalance of the bite or misalignment of the jaws

Regular checkups and oral health maintenance prevent the development of serious dental problems that can require costly treatment.

Procedures During an Exam

  • A through health history
  • Soft tissue and existing restoration examination
