Holistic Dentistry is an approach to dental treatment, primarily caring for patient's health and safety from both a conventional as well as "alternative healthcare" point of view.
In holistic dentistry there is an effort to find biocompatible materials to use to reduce toxicity for everyone, especially the chemically sensitive. Amalgam use is avoided in holistic dentistry - "mercury free" due to concern about possible toxicity problems.
Amalgam removal and replacement with natural-looking bonded materials is a common holistic dentistry treatment as well as a common cosmetic dentistry treatment. Detoxification, especially of residual mercury deposits in body tissues from amalgams is often done.
The Holistic Dental Centre is committed to safe dentistry and Dr Rhidian is a member of the British Society for Mercury Free Dentistry.
