In traditional dentistry, a standardized approach is used and time is usually never taken out to get to know the patients beyond their mouth. Holistic dentistry, which has recently become a buzzword in the dentistry world, treats the patient as a “whole” and focuses on the root cause of dental problems.
There are several toxic chemicals like mercury, which are used in the traditional approach which has adverse effects on the human body. Around 50% of Dental clinics in the US are mercury-free, our clinic in India being amongst the few. We at Dr. Sanjay Kalra’s Multispeciality Dental Clinic care for you and your family and hence practice holistic dental treatment at the clinic.
With holistic dental treatment, we aim to use a natural and therapeutic approach to cure dental problems from its roots. Eliminating the use of all controversial substances like mercury, fluoride etc., that are now known to medical science as harmful.
We understand that the mouth is part of your body and not a separate entity that is why we aim to cure the body as a whole and avoid all treatments that may bring temporary relief to the mouth but harm the rest of the body.
So with long term “holistic” benefits, keeping you and your body in mind we devise the cure for your dental ailments. Holistic dentistry thus treats systems, not symptoms. The underlying problems are identified that are the reason for your discomfort in the mouth, attempting to eliminate those problems and prevent symptoms from occurring in the first place. It ensures your dental care does not have any adverse effect on your whole-body health and well-being.
With holistic dental treatment in mind we have been using the CAD/CAM machine since 2005(being the first dental clinic in India with this equipment). This machine uses the CEREC® in-office dental CAD/CAM system to provide bio-compatible porcelain crowns, bridges, and veneers in one visit. In just one or two hours, the restorations are composed and milled while you lay back and wait.
We use only biocompatible and non-toxic materials. Most procedures done are non-invasive and use materials that are perfectly safe for your body. Using the information preserved in the venerable Ancient Indian medical practices, we approach the treatment with a multidimensional approach. So everything that is in your mouth during the treatment is 100% natural and safe for your body.
We suggest oil pulling, an ancient and natural oral health care practice, which not only benefits the mouth by eliminating bad breath, inflammation and prevention of cavities but also benefits the entire body by aiding detoxification and protecting the body against various ailments.
Factors like mental and emotional health, diet, and lifestyle are also taken into consideration in holistic dentistry. Questions related to these mentioned factors are asked by us and one’s oral health is analyzed. The ideology of holistic treatment does not believe in the “one-size-fits-all” approach.
Holistic treatment will cure the disease entirely and not just the symptoms. This will in turn ensure no- recurrence of the disease. According to FDI “Oral conditions are the fourth most expensive to treat. In the United States alone, US$110 billion are spent yearly on oral health care.
For an effective, safe, and long term cure, opt for holistic dental treatments.
