Surprising search results for “biological dentistry near me” in Glen Allen, VA
Maybe you have heard of biological dentistry, and you are curious if there are practitioners “near me” in Glen Allen, VA. Your smartphone or computer is a great place to start. Take a few minutes to understand the concept better before you search. You could find biological dental care in an unexpected place, such as Virginia Biological Dentistry.
What biological dentistry IS
“Biological” means an understanding that components of something are intimately interconnected and part of the whole. Biological dentistry is an awareness of the impact of dental care on the entire person.
Defining characteristics include:
- An overarching goal of improving and maintaining wellness through multi-disciplinary healthcare.
- A conviction that patients should have information about dental procedures, materials, risks, and benefits to make informed treatment decisions.
- Integration of preventive, nutritional, and homeopathic therapies.
- Mercury-free and often metal-free treatments. Amalgam fillings are comprised of about 50 percent mercury. A biological practice does not place amalgam fillings, and offers non-metal alternatives for other restorations.
- Training, equipment, and adherence to strict protocols for safe removal of amalgam.
- Dedication to utilizing the safest, most biocompatible materials and techniques available.
What biological dentistry is NOT
- New age. Biological dentistry is rooted in the 3,000-year-old Indian healing system of Ayurveda.
- In competition with conventional dentistry. Biological dentists offer many of the same services and apply similar processes. We just approach care a little differently.
- A recognized area of specialization. The American Dental Association does not acknowledge biological dentistry as one of its nine dental specialties. Rather, biological dentistry is a whole-body wellness principle adopted by the dentist.
