Why might a Cary, NC patient choose to see a holistic dentist?
At Holistic Dental Centers in Cornelius and Cary NC, Dr. McMillan is committed to ensuring patients take a biological approach to their dental health. A holistic dentist is one who focuses on not only the mouth, but the body as a whole. Holistic dentists want to ensure that patients understand how their oral health affects their medical health. There have been many studies over the years that have shown the connection between the mouth and body. The oral systemic connection proves that poor oral hygiene can develop periodontal disease, an infection of the mouth. This infection can be carried through the blood to the rest of the body, increasing patients’ risk for problems such as diabetes, heart attacks, and strokes. By paying attention to what is going on in a patient’s mouth, Dr. McMillan of Cornelius and Cary, can provide patients with better health overall.
A holistic dental team will do their best to ensure everything done is biocompatible with the body. Holistic dentists do not use silver amalgam fillings due to the risk of mercury toxicity, and they use porcelain crowns and restorations instead of metal. Not only are these safer and more compatible with the body, but they are also much more aesthetic.
Holistic dentists also care about the impact dentistry has on the environment and use materials and products that are sustainable and recyclable whenever possible. Environmental pollution is a serious problem and by taking small steps and making just a few changes, dentists in Cary, NC can make a difference!
If you live in the Cornelius or Cary, NC areas and are considering a holistic dentist who cares about you as a patient and not as just another dental case, contact the team at Holistic Dental Centers and schedule an initial consultation visit with Dr. McMillan. Educating yourself on the benefits of holistic dentistry will help you understand why it is important to make the switch from a general dentist to a biocompatible dentist with the knowledge and experience to provide patients with quality, comprehensive dental care.
