Biological Dentistry – Health Begins in the Mouth
Modern dentistry is faced with the challenge of meeting patients’ increased desire to combine health, functionality and aesthetics. Biological dentistry focuses on the human organism as an integrative system that is very closely connected to the chewing organ and is dedicated to the interactions between the teeth and body organs.
The general medical effects of diseased and root-treated teeth play a central role here. Traditional dentistry for example like a canal root treatment can burden our organism with heavy metals, toxic materials and inflammation. A large percentage of the causes of many chronic diseases and allergies lie here. In biological dentistry, the rehabilitation concepts are designed to recognize negative interactions and disruptive factors and to eliminate them within a complex treatment plan with appropriate protective measures.
The materials we use for dentures, implants, etc. are highly biocompatible and play a central role in biological dentistry. Patients can react very differently to different stresses in our oral cavity. The extent to which a person is susceptible to such stress depends on their genes and the stress factors they bring with them. For example, nutrition and the supply of micronutrients have a significant influence on our oral health. Our immune system and the function of our detoxification also play a central role.
