Holistic, Organic, or Biological Dentistry (whichever term you prefer to describe it) involves taking a different approach to the practice of dentistry. It means looking at a patient as a whole person and addressing any issues from that perspective. Many of the things that happen in the mouth affect the whole body and many things happening to the body have an impact in the mouth. A holistic approach means addressing all of these issues in the process of seeking optimal health.
Many of our patients are very conscious about maintaining a natural-healthy-organic Lifestyle. This can lead naturally to concerns about dental materials compatibility, chemical exposure, and treatment options that fit a holistic and organic philosophy. Whether your concerns are about fluoride, mercury fillings, root canals, surgical techniques or biocompatibility we are here to help.
We are committed to creating a healthy environment for all of our patients. We are happy to discuss any or all of these topics with you and are committed to giving you all the information you need to make an informed health care choice. Dr Whicker is a member of the Holistic Dental Association and the International Association of Mercury Toxicology. We have all the equipment, materials, and protocols needed to safely remove mercury fillings.
We work with many of the holistic providers in our community and are happy to consult with yours about the best options for you, or to provide referrals to local providers as needed.
