Cornelius area patients ask about the standards set by a holistic dentist

Dr. Carl McMillan of Cornelius and Cary Holistic Dental Centers encourages patients to learn about the advantages of biocompatible dental care. Many patients who think of dental care don’t often associate it with affecting their entire body. However, the oral cavity is linked to the body and infection and inflammation in that area can carry through the bloodstream.

At Cary and Cornelius Holistic Dental Centers, we have many standards that we follow. For example, Dr. Carl McMillan ensures that they follow the protocols set forth by the IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicity). This group has developed a set of protocols to follow when removing silver amalgam fillings, which contain mercury. They developed these steps to ensure the safety of everyone in the room during the removal of these harmful fillings. Many patients who have these fillings removed address their smile with composite resin fillings, which are much safer and more appropriate for the teeth than metal counterparts.

Our practice also does not perform certain services that are not biocompatible with the body, including:

• Fluoride applications
• Sealants
• Root canal therapy
• Metal dental implants
• Metal restorations
• In-office power bleaching

Dr. Carl McMillan is looking out for the best interests of his patients and wants to ensure that everything done to their smiles helps to maintain oral health and overall wellness. We work with patients to determine what can be done to enhance their smiles’ health and beauty in a way that is safe and biocompatible.

We highly recommend you take the time to book a consultation visit with Dr. Carl McMillan today at the Cary or Cornelius Holistic Dental Centers. Call our practice to schedule an appointment with our professional staff and educate yourself further on the dangers that may lurk in other dental practices.
