(NaturalHealth365) When most people think of dentistry, their thoughts are confined to care of teeth and gums. But integrated biological dentistry takes a more comprehensive view, focusing on the links between good oral health and overall wellbeing.

Unlike conventional dentistry, biological dentistry seeks to treat the whole patient, not just his or her teeth and gums. The result is an opportunity to improve overall health by targeting the causes of disease and other health conditions, wherever they lie.

80% of disease symptoms are caused by problems in the mouth, and millions are exposed to disease-promoting dental procedures every day! Register now for the Holistic Oral Health Summit and learn how to improve oral health, prevent and reverse disease symptoms and avoid years of unwanted pain.

An intelligent way to dramatically reduce your health risk

“In dental school, it seemed to me that nothing existed below the head and neck,” relates Phil Mollica, DDS “In reality, we are one organism. There are no ‘barriers’ in the human body. So if you have a chronic infection in the jaw, face or anywhere in the body – it has whole body consequences, ” says Dr. Mollica, an expert in the field of integrated biological dentistry and a featured speaker at the Holistic Oral Health Summit.

Biological dentists see the mouth as an integral part of the entire body. But unlike conventional dentists, they understand a healthy mouth is only one measure of good health. That means any dental treatment performed should impact the rest of the body as little as possible.

But conventional dental treatments, like fluoride treatments, root canals and cavity fillings, often result in chronic health problems. Rather than pose a risk to patient health, biological dentists instead rely on biocompatible materials that will not interfere with a patient’s immune system.

Do you have toxic metals in your mouth?

One of the most urgent areas of concern in biological dentistry is the toxicity of metals from conventional dental treatments. These have the potential to come lose in the mouth and can be readily absorbed by the body’s tissues, resulting in serious health concerns.

“Integrative biological dentistry is a comprehensive modality that deals with dentistry on multiple levels,” explains Mollica. “Integration means that we put all of medicine and dentistry on the same playing field, and it’s really patient-centered care. The key is to customize the therapies specifically to what the patient needs.”

For example, infections in the mouth or jaw weaken the immune system and may lead to secondary infections. The advancement of disease can be slowed or stopped by resolving the cause in the mouth. By concentrating on what is going on in the head, neck and mouth, biological dentists can help to restore optimum health.

“You know it’s amazing that people have all this organic food and all this great water, but they open up their mouth and there’s infection everywhere,” observes Dr. Mollica. “They take all this beautiful food, mixing it with infection and then you swallow it. So it’s very important that we concentrate on the health of the head and neck.”
