About Holistic and Biological Dentistry
A holistic dentist such as Dr. Thomas H. Seal, DDS, is one that believes that oral health is connected to overall health. They also believe in only performing procedures that are beneficial for the entire body. The holistic or natural approach has their patients’ overall health in mind at all time. This means that potentially dangerous materials such as mercury are kept out of the equation at all times. Mercury is a toxin, and even in small amounts can be a risk to the body and a patient’s health. While they do last longer than alternatives, they also put pressure on a tooth and can weaken a tooth, leading to the need for costly and painful procedures in the future.
