Holistic Dentistry: Natural approaches to Oral Health
Journal Title: Scholars Bulletin - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 9
Abstract
Abstract: Holistic Dentistry or biologic Dentistry is an age old alternative approach that is based on the assertion that the whole body is one unit and any changes in one part of this unit can have an impact on the whole unit. Traditional Dentistry deals with the head and neck region in general and oral cavity unequivocally but Holistic Dentistry deals with the unrecognized impact of Oral health on the overall health of a person. It focuses on the use of on-toxic restorative materials along with incorporation of techniques like Acupuncture and Neural therapy. Although this concept and practice has brought about a tranquil revolution but some of the complementary methods followed by Holistic Dentists are under criticism. It is a paradigm or a philosophy within Dentistry and not a specialty. This article is intended to provide information on the current status of Holistic Dentistry as Natural approaches to Oral Health, its scope and its various approaches. Keywords: Biologic Dentistry, Alternative Dentistry, Oral Health.
