If youve ever experienced a toothache, you know how nasty it can get. The throbbing pain keeps you awake at night, and no matter how hard you try, its all you can think about. Even though the ache is in your mouth, your entire body feels it, and sometimes carrying out simple tasks feels like a tedious chore. This example is proof of just how much your body is interconnected. Your oral health has the ability to impact your mental, emotional and physical well-being.

Unlike conventional dentistry, biocompatible dentists recognize that your mouth is the gateway to your body, so they take a holistic approach when treating you. Healthy teeth and gums may help you smile with confidence, but holistic dental services are the key to your overall health.

Bio dentistry is also referred to as organic dentistry, holistic dentistry, or natural dentistry. Its based on one of the most obvious premises that regular dentistry tends to overlook; your mouth and your body are interconnected. Think about it; your mouth is the door to your entire body, and if you have a tooth infection, the bacteria may find its way into your bloodstream, ultimately impacting your overall health.

In fact, studies have revealed that people with gum disease are 2-3 times more likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases. This is why at Wellness Biodentistry Idaho Falls, we offer you more than just the average dental treatment. We use your mouth as a lens to look into your mental, physical and emotional health. We understand that your oral health doesnt exist in isolation; its connected to who you are as an individual.

An organic dentist understands that even though oral health is critical to a confident smile, treating your teeth and gums without considering your overall well-being is equivalent to building a house without a weak foundation. The job will get done, but the house will be shaky!

Biocompatible dentistry is all about protecting your body by promoting natural oral health treatments. We recognize that holistic dental services are the most effective way of investing in ones general well-being, so we focus on treating your smile and body simultaneously.When you visit Wellness Biodentistry, you should expect;

Your oral health is critical to your overall well-being, so we take a comprehensive approach to your dental treatment. We are committed to giving you the best dental experience, which is why we dont recommend the fastest or most expensive treatment option. For instance, if were dealing with a diabetic patient, in addition to treating their dental problems, we will also advise on the best oral care practices and on the effective ways they can manage their blood sugar levels. We will also recommend an exercise program and a healthy diet.

At Wellness Biodentistry, we dont just view you as a dental services patient. We connect with you on a deeper level to provide treatment options that uphold your overall health. Our treatment options focus on aspects such as heredity, the condition of your gums, areas that are experiencing decay or are infected, the safety of your current dental materials, and possible health risk factors. We also look at functional disabilities, including sleep apnea and digestion.

Our holistic dental services focus on using the latest techniques and equipment to ensure you have a comfortable experience. We invest in dental non-toxic treatment options that are safe for you and the environment and use quality materials & safe dental procedures that dont impact your physical or mental health unintentionally.

We understand that missing teeth not only impacts your beautiful smile but also affects your ability to chew and speak. While we dont dispute that implants are the best treatment option, we strongly recommend against using metal implants, including Titanium ones.

We use non-toxic dental implants like those made from Zirconia because they are safer and are more compatible with your body. They are also stronger, denser, and healthier compared to titanium implants, making them a more functional alternative.

Our organic dentists never use mercury amalgam fillings because they lack adhesive qualities, which means that your dentist has to wedge them in your teeth. This is highly dangerous because it can cause microfractures in your teeth where bacteria can thrive, further worsening your condition. These types of fillings contain mercury which is highly toxic and sometimes results in tooth discoloration. They also expand and contract based on current temperatures and may cause microfractures.

We only use digital x-ray equipment because it reduces your radiation exposure by up to 50%. They are also comfortable, produce high-quality images, and the results are instant. This ensures that you get the best of x-ray imaging with significantly reduced health risks.

We work with you to create personalized treatment plans that are unique to your specific dental condition. Universal approaches dont work in biocompatible dentistry because every person has different needs.

Biocompatible dentistry is the future of oral healthcare, and its not hard to see why. It prioritizes your overall dental health and advocates for the use of safe dental products like organic dental fillings instead of amalgam fillings. At Wellness Biondetristsry, we not only treat your oral health but understand that physical, mental, and emotional well-being is integral to your general health.
