At Daghlian Pediatric Dentistry & Sokolowski Orthodontics, our philosophy for holistic dentistry focuses on treating the mouth as a vital part of the whole body. We understand that every material placed in the mouth has the potential to affect overall health. That is why we avoid the use of metals, choosing instead natural, biocompatible materials that support the body’s natural processes and reduce the risk of chronic inflammation or systemic illness.
Our pediatric dentist will evaluate each patient through a biological lens – carefully considering how oral health, nutrition and hygiene interact with the immune system and overall physiology. Our goal is not just to address symptoms but to identify root causes and provide care that works in harmony with the body.
The Biological Science Behind Holistic Dentistry
Modern studies consistently show a link between oral bacteria and conditions like heart disease, diabetes and systemic inflammation. Holistic dentistry emphasizes prevention by focusing on:
- Reducing the bacterial burden through routine cleanings and early intervention
- Encouraging detoxification by avoiding materials like amalgam and certain bonding agents
- Using safe, tested alternatives that work with the body rather than against it
We select only non-metal restorative materials and ensure that all substances used during treatment are compatible with individual immune responses. This reduces exposure to potentially disruptive elements and promotes long-term health.
