Biological Dentistry considers the effects dental materials, techniques, and procedures have on a person’s entire body. Biological Dentistry acknowledges, appreciates, and is concerned with the complex relationship between oral health and systemic health. When recommending treatment, a biological dentist informs the patient of procedures and materials that will be used. They may also inquire about materials that have previously been used for a specific patient.
Biological Dental Offices Typically:
- Do not place Amalgam (Silver/Mercury) fillings
- Use safe protocols to remove Silver/Mercury fillings (IAOMT protocol)
- Offer tests for allergies/allergic reactions to dental materials prior to beginning treatment (very valuable for immune-compromised patients)
- Desire to work with physicians or health care providers to meet individual health goals (necessary for patients with Heart Disease or Diabetes)
- Offer Fluoride-Free dental products and materials
- Offer Latex-Free dental products and materials
- Are fragrance-free
