Biologically Friendly Dental Care for a Healthier Smile and Body

Other dentists often describe root canal treatment as a way to “save” or preserve a deeply inflamed or infected vital tooth. This therapy is also touted as a way to avoid the extraction or removal of the tooth, as well as restorative care to replace it. 

At Dentistry for San Diego, Dr. Al A. Fallah provides holistic alternatives to this procedure. These alternatives align with our fundamental values and principles as a biologically friendly dental practice that promotes the optimal health and safety of our neighbors in Carlsbad as well as patients who travel from across California, the U.S., and even other parts of the world to benefit from Dr. Fallah’s genuinely holistic dental care.  

Our values 

As authentic, biologically friendly dental care providers, our team only uses the safest materials and products most compatible with living tissues. Root canal therapy involves removing and cleaning the inflamed or infected tissues inside a damaged tooth. The treated tooth is filled and sealed off for protection as it heals. Later, a dental crown is secured on top of the tooth to restore its strength. 

With this process, the “dead” tooth material may be left behind. The body’s immune system responds in kind, attacking the dead tissues. Both the tissues themselves and the immune system response encourage the proliferation of harmful bacteria. This situation can threaten oral health and overall or systemic health because bacteria and other disease-causing pathogens may enter the bloodstream and travel to other parts of the body.

We protect the health of your smile and the “whole you.” Our approaches to addressing severe damage to the tooth include:

• Proactively preventing the damage that leads to the need for more aggressive or invasive restorative therapies.
• As appropriate, recommending biocompatible fillings, inlays, onlays, and full crowns to restore the health and natural appearance of the tooth safely.
• Resolving the infection at its source with natural and biologically-appropriate services like healing oxygen/ozone therapy.
• As needed, recommending the extraction and replacement of badly infected teeth with the likes of metal-free and non-toxic implants made from a ceramic, zirconia oxide.
• And much more!

If you feel something is amiss with a tooth, do not wait for it to “get better” on its own. It won’t. Underlying conditions like decay must be treated with professional dentistry services.
