Dentist in Virginia now offers holistic dentistry

Midlothian, VA, Sept. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — N&H Dentistry is pleased to share some insights into the holistic/biological dentistry it offers here in Midlothian, VA. As a trusted holistic dentist in Virginia, Dr. Herod emphasizes biological dentistry in his Midlothian dental practice. Holistic dentists recognize the body’s ability to heal itself and when dental treatment is necessary, it uses the safest and least toxic methods of care by discouraging the use of harmful chemicals and toxins that can negatively affect patients’ health.

This holistic dentist in Virginia believes that every patient is different, and so is their biology. Biological dentistry ensures that the treatment is biocompatible with each individual. It begins by analyzing the mouth-body connection and understanding the root cause of the dental problem. This understanding helps prevent unnecessary dental treatments, reducing systemic disease and trauma. Recognizing a connection between oral and systemic health helps bridge the gap between dental and functional medicine.

For example, gum disease is not just a dental issue. They can increase a patient’s risk of developing coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, autoimmune disease, dementia and cognitive decline, IBD, liver and kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, pregnancy complications, and more. This holistic dentist helps his patients with preventive care and helps them create and maintain good oral and whole body health. This holistic dentist in Virginia follows holistic dental practices and a good example is its metal-free dental services. Many metals are not biocompatible with the human body and may be the main reason for underlying immune responses. Mercury in dental fillings was recently recommended to be avoided by pregnant women and children under 5 years of age.

Dr. Herod, a biological dentist in Virginia, uses BPA-free ceramic-based composite fillings, ceramic crowns and zirconia implants, and clear orthodontic aligners like Invisalign instead of metal braces. Original titanium dental implants are considered the gold standard by some dentists. Tooth replacement using titanium implants can last for decades. But titanium is a metal and can be subject to corrosion and oxidation, and can also be an allergen for some dental patients. To provide a biocompatible health solution, Dr. Herod recommends zirconia dental implants that are fully oxidized and do not degrade over time. From fluoride-free dentistry to airway-focused dentistry, the procedures followed here are holistic, keeping the patient’s overall well-being in mind. The clinical team also provides nutritional guidance and suggests lifestyle and diet changes to avoid dental disease.
