Maryland Holistic Dentist creates healthy smiles for adults and children. Our treatments never come at a compromise to overall health. We are a fluoride-free and mercury-free dental practice. We do not use any metals or toxic chemicals. We preselect biocompatible, organic, safe and effective dental materials. When removing materials such as amalgam mercury fillings we do so in a safe manner. The goal of safe removal is to avoid exposing anyone or our practice to potentially harmful toxins.
We have special air filtration and clean water systems to ensure safe environment and cleanliness in our dental office. There is no such thing as a completely natural dental material and what is safe for one person may not be safe for another. We can do dental material testing and when we believe someone may have a sensitivity to a material. If a material or tooth is affecting your health, we will remove it safely and replace it with a healthier option. Some examples of healthier options may be:
