What is Biological Dentistry?

Biological Dentistry emerged as a new field of Probiotic (life-supporting) dental medicine in the late 1970s. It was developed in Germany and is now taught and practiced throughout the world.

Though the term Biological Dentistry sounds scientific, it can be explained in simple enough terms. In general, biological dentistry incorporates a holistic philosophy into a clinical practice, and connects the health of the mouth and gums with the rest of a patient’s body.

Biological dentists are concerned about the overall health of patients, believing that dysfunction in one part of the body will show up as illness somewhere else. They investigate symptoms of patients to identify and work to eradicate their root causes.

The goal of biological dentists is to invoke natural healing using non-invasive treatments and techniques whenever possible. Secondly, these dentists double as educators and teachers, providing patients with information and resources to help them take charge of their personal health.

Biological dentistry can be categorized as conscious dentistry. Most of these dentists practice the holistic lifestyle and are therefore aware of the mind, body, spirit connection. Many are also connected to other holistic practitioners, so they are able to share about or incorporate time-proven healing into their methods such as homeopathy, acupuncture, nutrition, physical therapy and herbology.
