Holistic dental care available in Carlsbad, ca area dental practice
When patients are ready to achieve the smile of their dreams, they might not think of holistic care. However, holistic dental care can not only get the smile to its best appearance and health but can also protect the health and wellness of the body. Dr. Al Fallah of the Carlsbad, CA area is dedicated to helping patients get their teeth and gums in great health while also paying close attention to the rest of their bodies.
WHAT IS HOLISTIC DENTAL CARE?
Holistic dental care is focused on ensuring the materials used in the mouth are safe for the rest of the body. It also takes a biological approach by seeing the link between oral health and overall health. A good example of this is eliminating the use of silver amalgam fillings.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH SILVER AMALGAM?
Some dentists have used silver amalgam fillings for years – and continue to do so. However, studies show that this material exposes patients to mercury. Mercury is not safe for the human body, and silver amalgam fillings are approximately 50 percent mercury. They release mercury when patients chew their food or enjoy warm beverages. Instead, patients should consider composite resin fillings. Not only are they safer, they are also tooth-colored and practically indistinguishable from the rest of the smile.
At the practice of Dr. Al Fallah, he does not place silver amalgam fillings. However, he does offer safe removal of these fillings from the smile. Removal is:
- Safe
- Affordable
- Effective
