Holistic dentistry is an approach to dental treatment, primarily caring for patients' health and safety from a conventional and alternative healthcare point of view. It is sometimes called "biological" dentistry or "biocompatible" dentistry. Holistic dentistry looks at the person as a whole rather than just a set of teeth and jaws.
According to the principles of holistic dentistry to avoid the destructive effects of Dental Infections and Dental Diseases, one should eat nutrient-dense foods, avoid root canals problems from the beginning, and avoid avoid mercury (amalgam) fillings. If it is necessary to extract teeth, then avoid leaving the jawbone with cavitations, which can be focal points of infection. Amalgam use is avoided in holistic dentistry due to concern about possible toxicity problems. Amalgam removal and replacement with natural-looking bonded materials is a common holistic dentistry treatment as well as a common aesthetic dentistry treatment. The mercury/amalgam is not only potentially bad for the teeth and for the body, but also it looks awful and unnatural, too.
In his dental practice in Los Angeles, Dr.Anthony Mobasser is committed to holistic dentistry. According to Dr. Anthony, the health of the mouth and the health of the body simply cannot be separated. He uses this as a guiding principle in his treatment. So his style of practicing Holistic Dentistry is taking the whole person into consideration and recognizing the dental problems. Dr. Mobasser believes in combining the most natural approach possible with state-of-the-art technology.
Depending on the patient's needs and desires in relation to holistic dentistry, Dr. Mobasser can address many significant aspects such as the use of mercury free-fillings, material compatibility testing, innovative isolation techniques to eliminate mercury exposure, the use of oxygen, the role of nutrition to oral health, the relationship of gum disease to other physical problems, structural components (such as TMJ, postural asymmetry, uneven bite) etc. At Dr. Anthony Mobasser's Los Angeles based Beverly Hills practice, we look at the biocompatibility of the different tooth filling composite resins with the person concerned.
