What Is Holistic Dentistry?
Holistic dentistry considers how dental health may affect the rest of the body and how overall health may influence the mouth. This approach does not replace traditional dental diagnosis or treatment. Instead, it adds a broader perspective to prevention, materials, habits and long-term wellness.
Our pediatric dentist may consider factors such as cavity risk, gum health, diet, oral hygiene, airway-related signs, oral habits, inflammation and material choices when planning care for your child.
