Why You
Should Choose a Biological Dentist |
| The number one concern of a biological
dentist is the well being of each patient. A good biological dentist
will see health as a state of vigor, of wholeness, not just the
absence of illness.
Although a dentist can neither diagnose nor treat
medical conditions, it is essential that you find a dentist who
is aware of the relationship between dental health and your health
in general and who can be an effective part of your team of health
care providers.
That's why it is so important to seek out a competent
biological dentist.
Maximizing Oral Health and Wellness
To maximize oral health and overall health issues
- such as nutritional support, detoxification, the structural alignment
of the jaw and TMJ prevention - diet and lifestyle changes may be
addressed.
There is a heavy emphasis on educating patients about
the best preventative care methods available.
Biological dentists are also at the forefront of developing
new equipment and techniques to improve patient comfort and safety
during corrective and restorative treatments, including new bio-compatible
and longer lasting dental materials.
A Biological dentist will address long-term health issues by recommending
the removal of toxic dental materials such as mercury
amalgam fillings and by working to eliminate chronic infections
in the mouth.
These chronic infections can include cavitations in
the jaw-bone and infections from prior root canal procedures.
When dealing with any oral health need, a good biological
dentist will choose the least invasive and most effective treatment
available, working to avoid any unnecessary structural changes in
the mouth that could cause future complications. |
Linking Oral Health to Illness and Longevity
|
Medical science is beginning to learn
that, while the eyes may be the windows to the soul, your mouth
is truly the doorway to the health of your body. |
Add Years to
Your Life or Lose Them |
| How would you like to add thirty healthy years
to your life?
How about increasing your energy level and decreasing your stress
or enhancing your pleasure?
Research is showing us that these things are now possible by taking
better care of your oral health. Unfortunately, research is also
showing us that you may be risking your health and developing serious
illnesses if you are not taking good care of your teeth and gums.
Each year, the medical research community continues to collect
evidence of the deadly effects of improper and incomplete care for
your teeth and gums.
In the field of biological dentistry, also called health-centered
or holistic dentistry, there are thousands of reports, and solid
research, of physical and emotional ailments being relieved through
proper treatment.
It may be surprising to discover how many ailments
can be relieved, in whole or in part, through biological dentistry
- and that these ailments seem totally unrelated to the mouth!

|
| Alzheimer's |
Chronic fatigue |
Numbness |
| Chronic sinus infection |

Light sensitivity |
| Asthma |
Infections |
Chronic muscle pain |
| Allergies |
Depression |
Headaches |
| Migraine Headaches |
Colitis |
Chemical sensitivities |
| Arthritis |
Hair loss |
Weakened immune system |
| The
list goes on and on.... |
|
Oral Health and Disease |
| After more than 40 years of research
and observation, Dr. Reinhard (a well-known German physician) reported
that almost 80% of all illness are related to problems in the mouth.
Other researchers have established conclusive links
between poor oral health, toxic
dental materials and diseases such as Alzheimer's,
heart disease and more.
You see, the human body is a complex network of interrelated systems.
Poor health in any one of these systems will be reflected throughout
the whole network of systems.
So, while it may not be literally true that illness
in the mouth will always cause illness in other parts of the body,
the mouth, gums and the teeth will contribute to and reflect the
health of your entire body. |

Ten Questions You Should Ask Before
Choosing A Dentist |
Q.
|
Is
your dentist gentle and caring? |
| |
Your mouth is a tender and private
place. You need to know that you and your family are being
treated with all the gentleness and compassion you deserve.
|
Q.
|
Is
your dentist concerned about your comfort? |
| |
Biological dentistry is practically
pain free. But does your dentists offer you refreshments when
you arrive? How about hot towels, a toothbrush and mouthwash
so you can freshen up before your treatment? How about a warm
blanket to keep you cozy? It's all the little things your
dentist does that show you how much he cares about your comfort.
|
Q.
|
Does
your dentist take time to educate you about your dental health
and involve you in your diagnosis and treatment? |
| |
In ancient times, the physician was a teacher
first, a doctor second. Does your dentist and the dental staff
go out of their way to educate you about how you can benefit
from modern dentistry? Do they answer your questions and offer
you written, video and audio materials to help your understanding? |
Q.
|
Does
your dentist focus on prevention over symptom treatment and
place service above profit? |
| |
Emergency dentistry and restorative procedures
are attempts to fix what is broken. The procedures are more
costly to you and more profitable to the dentist. You want to
find a dentist that is willing to help you fix what needs to
be fixed, but whose real investment is helping you prevent future
problems. |
Q.
|
Is
your dentist concerned about saving you money? |
| |
Does your dentist offer you optional treatments
and explain the costs and benefits in order to help you make
informed decisions? Does he offer reduced fees for cash payments?
Does he explain to you that dental insurance coverage is only
good for average care and that average care, over time, will
likely cost you more in time, money and agony in the future? |
Q.
|
Does
your dentist use the best of leading-edge procedures and equipment?
|
| |
Does your dentist use high-resolution cameras
to guide you through the examination and treatment so you can
see exactly what he is seeing? How about air-abrasion, the new
drill free dentistry? Does he offer you the newest and the safest
dental materials to help you avoid the possible dangers of mercury/silver
fillings? |
Q.
|
Does
your dentist have a passion for good dentistry? |
| |
Does your dentist really love
doing dentistry? When it comes to your teeth and your health
is he a bit of a perfectionist? Is he obsessed with discovering
and mastering the latest techniques, information and skills
for superior dentistry? |
Q.
|
Is
your time important to the dentist? |
| |
Does your dentist cram too many
appointments into short time slots? Is the waiting room always
full? If patients are backed up due to an emergency, does
he offer you a small token of apology, such as free Blockbuster
movie rental vouchers? |
Q.
|
Will
your dentist treat your whole family? |
| |
Is the dental team as good with
your kids and your spouse as they are with you? Will your
dentist make room in the schedule for your whole family so
you don't have to make multiple appointments on different
days? |
Q.
|
Is
the dental team warm and friendly and is the office full of
laughter and smiles? |
| |
Do you feel welcome in the office
or are you just another patient? Is the office a casual and
comfortable place to be or does it feel stiff and unfriendly?
