Why are “holistic” dentists on the rise?
Dawn Ewing, executive director of the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine, answers: “The growth is definitely patient-driven”.
The modern patient is increasingly health-conscious. The readily available latest information in all spheres will soon cause patients to increasingly enquire and then entrust their healthcare, including dentistry, to establishments where these treatments and environments are practiced, even if just partially.
Today, the trend is looking toward natural alternatives when it comes to food, household products, health, and wellness. It is therefore necessary for the dental industry to change with the passage of time. Holistic dentistry views the body and its well-being as a whole; this also includes oral health.
The mouth does not exist in a state of isolation but forms an integral part of the entire body. In fact the mouth is a microenvironment that mirrors the health of the total body.
