What is Mean By Holistic Dentistry and Its differents from general dentistry !!

A holistic dental health practitioner looks at all parts of the human body as connected and believes that no part works in isolation to another. A holistic dentist is aware of not just the tooth and gums,but also the person attached to the teeth and gums. Holistic Dental Dubai informs everything that we do and is the reason why every initial consultation starts with a health history that examines the way you sleep and breathe as well as your posture and nutrition and then relates this information (your general health) to your oral health.

The mouth is the gateway to the respiratory tract. We believe that both good quality breathing and sleeping are central to good health and therefore the shape and health of the oral cavity are critically important to your overall well being.

The mouth is also the beginning of the digestive tract. Thus having a functioning masticatory system (the ability to chew) is a really important first step in proper digestion of your food.

The mouth is also the site of the two most common infections known to man, woman or child – gum disease and tooth decay. Tooth decay means we have to fill and restore teeth. But why has this tooth decay or gum disease occurred? What implications are the food or drink that one is consuming having on their body? This is a holistic approach to health, not looking at problems in isolation but how they relate to one another.  

Is Holistic dentistry different from general dentistry?

In terms of the equipment that we use, holistic and general dentistry are very similar. At Glasgow medical center we use digital radiography, these are X-rays which have considerably less X-ray exposure to the normal old-fashioned X-ray machines. So how about in terms of our anesthetics and the way in which we do our filings? At Glasgow Medical Center Dubai we give great consideration to the materials that we use on our patients. Something that definitely defines a holistic dental practice is that they will not use Mercury amalgam.
