About

Holistic Dentistry (also known as alternative dentistry or biological dentistry) is an aspect of holistic medicine that focuses on health and wellness instead of the treatment of disease. Holistic dentistry promotes a preventative approach to dentistry, and draws on knowledge from the world’s natural healing traditions.

Holistic Dentistry acknowledges and deals with the whole person. It takes a holistic view of the patient, not just their illness.
