What is Holistic Dentistry?

At Valley Green Center for Holistic Dentistry, we believe that it is impossible to treat dental maladies without enormously affecting all other biological systems. Substantial dental stress produces a pattern of far reaching physical and emotion repercussions.

Dental distress can result from malocclusion, postural imbalances, and improper jaw relationships. This stress differs from all other stressors affecting the human body in that, pending the intervention of a trained dentist, it is unrelenting.

Daily living exposes you to the negative influences of environmental and occupational hazards, improper diet,lack of exercise, lack of sleep, medications, toxic chemicals, and emotional stress. All of these conditions impact the entire biological system, including the head and neck. In fact, many ailments, have recently been linked as potentially caused by substances used in older "silver" dental fillings such as mercury.

People feel and act their best when they are balanced physically and emotionally. As crucial members of the medical profession, we strive to do far more than relieve localized pain, restore proper occlusion, and create pleasing esthetics. We minister to the person sitting before us - not merely the patient.

We believe that our holistic techniques, coupled with patient education and a close, supportive patient/doctorrelationship, provide patients with the most effective dental care available.
