Holistic Dentistry – An overview

Holistic Dentist Dr. Michael Schecter from SchecterDental.com discusses holistic approach to dental implant surgery.  In holistic dentistry, the focus is not just on treating the problem, you have to understand the cause.  Therefore it is important to determine what is the root cause of the issue.  Microscopic analysis is performed to see what microbes are present and treat them to ensure the gums are healthy so they heal better after surgery.  Another key component of holistic dentistry is the use of homeopathic remedies used as alternatives to pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics and pain medications.  Ozonated olive oil is used as a topical anti-inflammatory and natural mouth rinse is used, which minimizes invasiveness and toxicity.
