Dental materials Compatibility and You
As a holistic dental care provider, I constantly ask myself: “Is what I am recommending going to cause a burden to the immune system?” While we cannot eliminate all toxins, I believe it is wise to make choices that minimize body burden.
Dental Amalgams
When it is time for amalgam restorations to be removed, there are safety protocols that can reduce your exposure to mercury vapors. One of the most important protocols is that the patient has an external oxygen source to prevent breathing in mercury vapors as they are released during the removal process.
Bad Breath and Ozone Therapy
Ozone is a natural way to get rid of bacteria, fungus, parasites and viruses. Our dental cleanings are chemical and floride-free. We use ozonated water made from an ETL approved generator and medical grade oxygen, insuring delivery of contaminated-free ozone.
Spiritual Dentistry – Creating Conditions to Support Balance
It’s been a challenge in dentistry to acknowledge that what we do in the mouth affects the entire body. Through research, we finally understand that there is a direct relation- ship between gum disease and systemic diseases, but the next step is to look beyond the physical body even to include the mental-emotional and spiritual-energetic components
Oral Health- A Whole Body Experience
In integrative biological dental medicine, I believe we have a new truth and that the physical, mental/emotional and energetic bodies must be addressed as all three contribute either to our health or to the disease process.
Holistic Dentistry – Beyond the Mouth
Much of the root cause of dis-ease has to do with energy flow. What does energy (spirit) have to do with dentistry? Everything. We are energetic beings and our physical body extends beyond what the unaided eye sees as physical. In fact, everything is energy, and everything can be approached from its energetic component.
Holistic Dental Practice
“Everything is connected, so when the tooth isn’t preserved, you can throw off the entire system,” she says. “Everything begins with what goes into our mouth – it’s the portal to the rest of our body. We have to be very conscious about what we put in it, and that includes what kind of dental materials as well,” she continues.
Natural Teeth Whitening
Oil Pulling is an Ayurvedic treatment used for detoxification. Traditionally sesame seed oil is used as the oil pulling agent, however, the more palatable coconut oil may be used instead. Both are highly effective in removing toxins from the body. A brighter smile can make you look and feel better about yourself, but oil pulling does more than that.
Plastic for Dinner
BPA-free materials are available and are always used at Ecologic Dentistry.
“Silver” Fillings Contain Over 50% Mercury
Why are those black unsightly amalgam restorations called “silver” fillings when over 50% of its composition contains mercury? Ecologic Dentistry practices safer mercury filling removal to minimize your exposure to this neurotoxin.
