Holistic Dental Health Care

Have you thought of the concept of a 'benevolent dictator'--ahem--dentist who told you what had to be done to your teeth?
Dentists, who practice holistic dentistry believe that it is essential for a dentist to listen, ask questions and seek to understand your dental situation and wishes. The initial dental discussion is experienced in a relaxed comfortable person-to-person exchange--not in the dental chair, tilted backward with the light shining in your eyes as if you are in an interrogation room.
Holistic dentistry consists of treatment that combines accurate diagnosis and planning for care while considering the elements of physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs of the individual. Holistic dentistry provides the education and information you need; and allows you the opportunity to choose options for treatment that you can feel good about.
