In today’s busy world, taking good care of your oral health is essential. At the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM), we strongly support biological dentistry. But you might wonder, “What exactly is biological dentistry?”
Biological dentistry is a unique approach that treats dental problems while keeping your whole body in mind. Unlike traditional dentistry, it doesn’t just manage symptoms. Instead, biological dentists focus on the root causes of dental issues, knowing your mouth affects your overall health.
A significant part of biological dentistry involves using safe, non-toxic materials. Traditional dentists often use fillings containing mercury, which can negatively affect your health. Biological dentists avoid mercury and use biocompatible materials instead, ensuring safer treatment for your body.
Biological dentistry recognizes that your mouth is part of your entire body. Dentists practicing this method consider factors like your nutrition, daily habits, and other health conditions before deciding on the best treatment for you.
At IABDM, we genuinely care about your whole health, not just your teeth. We look for underlying causes of your oral issues to help improve your total well-being. We believe a healthy mouth contributes significantly to your overall health, and vice versa.
In addition to traditional methods, biological dentistry uses natural remedies and integrative medicine. Treatments can include gentle therapies like ozone therapy, which naturally disinfects areas of tooth decay, or essential oils, which effectively fight gum infections without harsh chemicals.
Biological dentistry may be new to many people. Yet, it provides reassurance by showing dentistry can go beyond just teeth and gums. At IABDM, we are proud to support biological dentistry because it prioritizes your overall well-being through natural and comprehensive oral care.
Biological dentistry represents a meaningful advancement in oral health care. By connecting your mouth’s health to your entire body, it transforms the traditional view of dental care, promoting healthier living for everyone.
The International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM) is a network of dentists, physicians, and health professionals committed to promoting biological dentistry.
