Posted one of the questions from last weeks talk show with my reply.
What is Natural Dentistry, and how does it differ from traditional dentistry?
The answer depends on the perspective of who is defining the terms. I believe most alternative dentist would agree there is more to dentistry than teeth and gums. The term natural, biological, holistic, integrative, biocompatible, all would take into account not only oral health but that your entire body. We are concerned that the materials we use first do no harm. For example we have ways to evaluate each individual to determine what materials would uniquely be best for that individual. We consider the individuals current health status, their medical history as well as their genetic disposition. We consider their life style and habits that may be deleterious to themselves. We do not use certain traditional materials that we believe are toxic. We tend to minimally invasive, using surgery as a last choice not first choice. We tend to use less pharmaceutical prescriptions than traditional medicine and traditional dentistry. Nutrition is center of treatment to many of us aside from one’s beliefs, many of us believe the body has the capacity and inclination to heal itself providing it has not been damaged past the point of repair. The clinician considers the patients uniqueness while evaluating what factors work against or work for the individuals total teeth recovery. We know one cannot optimize one part of the body without consideration of the total body.
I personally want to invite you to join me Monday the 16th at 7:20 pm the show airs on 1250am, whnz.
Thank you,
Dr. Adams
