Holistic dental care is an important part of any complete health plan. As you know, taking good care of one’s oral health is essential. But the health of our teeth and gums do not stand in isolation from the rest of the body. Dr. Shane Nelson and his team in Overland Park firmly believe that like every other biological function and system, your oral health is intimately interconnected to your total health.

The Benefits of Holistic Dentistry

If you have an understanding of nutrition and fitness, then it’s easy to understand why a dentist would attend to the patient’s total health. Here are a few reasons why holistic dentistry is the healthier choice.

Avoid Toxic Substances Commonly Used in Dentistry:

Amalgam Removal

Hazardous substances like mercury are present in many fillings and must be removed. A holistic dentist, whom is SMART certified, has a safe way to remove the hazardous substances and achieve restorative needs without the harmful materials.
