subject: What is Bio Compatible Dentistry? [print this page] You may have them yourself, if not, you definitely know other people who have a whole lot of them, especially the older generations: a mouth full of heavy metals and toxic chemicals. Old style dentistry uses some seriously nasty and often quite dangerous substances to fill the cavities in teeth, but no longer do you have to fill your mouth with such noxious elements.
Bio compatible dentistry is focused on holistic dentistry, meaning that rather than just trying to fix an isolated problem in the teeth, the whole body is viewed as an interrelated system in which there can be cascading consequences from an initially minor problem. Therefore, rather than using dangerous substances as filling material, a holistic dentist will use bio compatible materials that will not react badly with your body. There have been many people who have suffered for years from the mercury in their old fillings without knowing the cause, only to have their problems clear up after having their old fillings replaced with bio compatible material fillings.
Holistic dentistry is not just about using safer and more natural substances for fillings though, as with all holistic medicine it is about viewing the body and mind as one whole system rather than a disparate bunch of issues. Holistic medicine is focussed on encouraging life changes to improve health, fostering good mental health to improve physical health, understanding how problems in one area can affect the rest of the body and mind, and especially about trying to improve the body as a whole.
Modern medicine has become over specialised in some ways, many doctors only have an expert knowledge in one specific area of the anatomy, when often the problems most people suffer have interconnected issues that cannot be solved with a piecemeal approach. Rather, they need to be understood with the whole of systems approach.
Because of holistic medicine's approach to healing, you will find that you are actually treated like a human being rather than the recipient of an ailment. This is because a holistic practitioner understands that to know the illness they have to know the person first, that there can be no prognosis without broad comprehension.
