Recent scientific research has raised concern about fluoride’s potential adverse effects on overall health. Therefore, Biological Dentists avoid toothpaste with fluoride and other harsh chemicals like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS).
Biological dentists spend time educating patients about the mouth-body connection and how to reduce toxic exposure in daily life.
Studies have shown that metal fillings can lead to toxicity, can harm the body’s immunity and can act as an antenna, which can interfere with your nervous system. Biological Dentists choose to avoid putting metals into their patient’s mouths for these reasons.
Traditional dentistry focuses on just the mouth. Biological dentists, however, consider the entire body, acknowledging how oral health can affect a person’s overall health and vice versa. They address the root causes of oral health issues, considering the patient’s overall health, including potential impacts from diet and lifestyle.
