Holistic Dental Care
The Power of Holistic Dental Care
Holistic dental care considers the impact of dental diseases on the body as a whole and emphasizes prevention and education.
When dental problems are left untreated, they can easily lead to other health challenges such as head and neck pain, fatigue, digestive issues, anxiety and depression. Chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and respiratory infections are also linked to poor oral health. Even our brains can be impacted, potentially resulting in dementia.
Preventive care, good oral hygiene, and proper diet form the foundation of our holistic approach. Our mission is to help you achieve and maintain your healthiest smile. Our dental practice has incorporated a number of natural herbal, holistic and homeopathic elements into our offering.
We also use digital X-rays over traditional X-rays, replace amalgam fillings with composite fillings, and provide ozone therapy.
Ozone Therapy
Dr. Cloth uses ozone therapy to treat periodontal disease and root canal infections. Ozone therapy can aid in reducing inflammation, promoting healthy blood flow and disinfecting the tooth.
Amalgam Filling Replacements
At Dentistry On Sheppard, we can replace amalgam fillings with composite fillings. Composite fillings can be a more aesthetically pleasing option, since they can be made to match the colour of your teeth.
Digital Radiography
Digital radiography uses electronic sensors to capture images of the teeth and jaw, which are then displayed on a computer screen for analysis.
Digital X-rays emit less radiation than traditional X-rays. They also produce very high-quality images, which is helpful for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Natural Rinses & Toothpastes
The term 'natural rinse' refers to a mouthwash made from ingredients, such as tea tree oil, peppermint or aloe vera, free from artificial chemicals. Similarly, natural toothpaste, made with ingredients such as clove oil, papaya leaf extract, or coconut oil, are formulated to clean and protect teeth without synthetic additives. Many of our patients find that these natural products provide a gentle yet effective way to maintain oral hygiene.
