Biological or Holistic Dentistry is a health-focused method of practicing dentistry where the relationship of oral health to overall systemic health is the chief consideration in patient care. The mouth is the mirror to one’s health and all dental procedures performed should consider what effect those procedures can have on the whole-body system. Areas of interest to the Biological/Holistic Dentist include the effect of incompatible dental materials on health, hidden jaw bone infections, impact of heavy metals (Mercury, nickel ), minimally invasive approaches to care, non-surgical periodontal therapies and much more .
