Naturopathic Medicine
Holistic and Biological Dentistry in Delta and Vancouver, British Columbia
Naturopathic medicine, also known as holistic medicine or even biological dentistry, acknowledges the wide-ranging causes of illness and potential effects of treatment on our bodies.
In holistic dentistry, for example, we seek to understand the underlying causes of dental problems, and to understand the relationships between your dental health and your overall physical health.
Examples
- Nobody can deny that metal amalgam fillings reinforce and repair decayed teeth. But they contain mercury. So to fully understand how they affect our bodies as a whole, we must understand the wider-ranging problems that are caused by the introduction of mercury to the body.
- Holistic dentists have a slightly different approach to the treatment of TMD. Besides straightening the teeth to create a correctly aligned bite, we also focus on the face, head and neck muscles, working to align them correctly.
Our goal is not just to provide you with a solid, healthy, beautiful smile, but also to do it in a way that won't cause other problems. For this reason, we only use the safest, most natural materials in our dental work; and all of our work is done with your overall health in mind.
