Holistic Dentistry – Scottsdale, AZ

What Is Holistic Dentistry?

Holistic, or biological, dentistry looks beyond just teeth and gums to understand how the body and mouth interact, seeking natural treatment options. While we still provide traditional services like regular cleanings, we take a comprehensive approach, considering your entire lifestyle and its impact on your health. By examining factors such as diet, habits, and lifestyle, we can identify the underlying causes of oral health issues and offer practical solutions to promote your well-being.

Benefits of Holistic Dentistry

It's crucial to actively address and prevent microbial infections in the mouth since they can swiftly enter the bloodstream. By prioritizing the prevention and treatment of oral infections and toxic materials, we significantly reduce the risk of systemic diseases like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and dementia. This not only enhances your quality of life and potentially extends lifespan, but also saves you from extensive spending on dental and medical treatments.

Who Could Benefit from Holistic Dentistry?

Our team not only addresses current issues with minimal invasiveness, but also passionately educates on preventing future problems. Beyond basic oral care, we emphasize nutrition, quitting smoking, balanced alcohol intake, oral pH monitoring, material biocompatibility, and referrals to compatible healthcare professionals. At our practice, you can experience dentistry that cares for your entire well-being.

Ozone Therapy

Ozone consists of three oxygen atoms bonded together, distinct from the oxygen we breathe. Despite being unsuitable for inhalation, it significantly contributes to oral and overall health. Its potent antibacterial properties make it effective at eliminating harmful bacteria in the mouth.

Ozone therapy is particularly beneficial in dentistry in the following ways:

• Gum Disease Treatment: Combatting gum disease involves applying ozone into gum pockets, promoting healing and infection control.
• Addressing Cavities: Unlike conventional drilling, ozone effectively eliminates decay-causing bacteria inside teeth, offering a less invasive alternative, especially suitable for children.
• Others Uses: Ozone aids in reducing dental sensitivity, enhancing post-extraction healing, and more.
