Many patients have heard of the word biological but are not exactly sure what it means. Biological dentistry focuses not only on the smile but the health of the body as a whole. This means looking at a variety of things before diagnosing a condition or providing treatment. There is a connection between the mouth and the body called the oral systemic connection that needs to be taken into consideration when determining the best possible treatment for an individual. During an initial examination, Dr. Olivia Hart may find an issue that could be linked to another medical concern somewhere else in the body.
A biological dentist is also mercury safe. This means that they take the appropriate steps to ensure the body is not exposed to toxic materials. Amalgam fillings which have been used for years in fillings have proven to be detrimental to one’s overall health. the material contains approximately 50 percent mercury, which can produce toxins when warmed. This can happen even when patients are chewing their food or drinking a warm beverage. The toxins then enter the body and can result in a variety of health conditions.
Instead of using non-biocompatible materials, our practice focuses on using alternatives such as composite resin bonding. This is a safer, more aesthetic material that eliminates the risks of traditional amalgam fillings. Dr. Olivia Hart also provides removal of silver amalgam fillings for patients and replaces them with safer materials such as this.
