What is holistic dentistry?

There are a lot of different definitions for “holistic dentistry.” The term “holistic” refers to the idea that your oral health and the health of the rest of your body are connected, and that which affects one part of your body can affect the health of other parts.

For example, if you have a metal-amalgam filling, the mercury from the filling could potentially cause toxicity in other parts of your body. Or, if you have gum disease, the inflammation caused by gum disease could contribute to your risk of heart disease.

‍

At Dental Wellness, we use this approach to ensure that your oral health is protected, and that the rest of your body is healthy, too. We want to empower all of our patients with the tools they need for better overall health and wellness, and provide guided, customized treatment plans that help our patients take control of their health.

What to Expect at your First Visit

COMPREHENSIVE EXAM

After Dr. Moses reviews your x-rays, they will take a close look at your gums and teeth. If they notice any potential issues, they will help you understand exactly what is going on, and how best to address it. It is our goal for you to stay informed so you can feel confident about making the right decision for your oral health.

Thorough Cleaning

Your dental hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth, removing any plaque and tartar that may have accumulated. This includes flossing and scraping off plaque that has built up under the gum line with either water or an ultrasonic cleaner. Your teeth will be left feeling polished and refreshed.

NECESSARY X-RAYS

Depending on how long it’s been since your last dental x-rays, Dr. Moses may take new x-rays. Dental x-rays are a useful tool to help us detect problems that may not be visible to the naked eye. Dr. Moses will be able to see any problem areas such as cavities or infections, cracks in the tooth enamel, and make a recommendation from there.

"Dr. Moses is the kind of practitioner I choose: she and her staff teach me how to take care of my teeth, rather than just fixing what's wrong. Leonora is an excellent hygienist, and really took time to clean my teeth well"
