South Lakewood Dental – Dr. Scott Stewart, Holistic Dentistry

When patients hear of treatments with a holistic dentist, thy are often curious as to what holistic dentistry really is. Dr. Scott Stewart of South Lakewood Dental encourages patients to ask questions about this field of dentistry. Holistic dentistry is dental care that goes beyond the smile. It is dental care that ensures the entire body is healthy with whatever is performed in the smile. It is also an understanding of the connection between the mouth and body, especially the oral systemic connection.

What is holistic dentistry?
Holistic dentistry is a different approach to dental care. Also known as biocompatible dentistry, or biological dentistry, holistic dentistry gives consideration to the body as a whole. It ensures that all procedures performed in the smile are good for the overall health. It is a belief in the link between the smile and the body’s health through the Meridian tooth chart and the oral systemic connection. Refer through the below link to the Dental Meridian Tooth Chart app ( http://www.lakewoodlaserdentis.com/tooth-chart.html)

How does holistic dentistry go beyond ordinary dentistry?
Instead of just treating the condition in the mouth and going along with their day, a dentist will discuss with patients the impact of their dental health with the rest of their body. Education is at the forefront of Dr. Scott Stewart’s visits with his patients. He wants his patients to know how the health of the smile impacts their entire body. This includes education on how to avoid the development of periodontal disease.

Is holistic dentistry more expensive?

Do holistic dentists follow a protocol?

They understand the importance of following specific standards during the removal of silver amalgam fillings in the dental office. These protocols are designed for the health and safety of everyone involved in silver amalgam filing removal and replacement.
