Biological Dentistry
What Is Biological Dentistry?
NIHA dentists have practiced biological dentistry in the Washington, D. C. area for 25 years. Biological or holistic dentists respect that the mouth is an integral part of the entire body. Dental treatments should impact the rest of the body as little as possible. Biological dentistry uses natural, or biocompatible materials that will not adversely affect a patient’s immune system. The emphasis is on promoting good oral health for good overall health and wellness.
Sometimes, traditional and commonly performed dental procedures may leave people with chronic problems or other health consequences. If there is disease we will look for the underlying cause that may have its origin in the mouth. Often, oral health and dental issues may relate to overall health within the body.
Mercury Free Dentists and Holistic Biological Dentistry
Holistic biological dentists are mercury free dentists who promote treatments that are safe and effective, with minimal to no side-effects. We use dental materials that are natural, non-toxic and bio-compatible.
The body’s innate capacity to heal itself (self correct) is utilized by providing appropriate immune system support and neurological support, proper nutrition, and if necessary, by reducing an infectious load.

What You Should Know About Periodontal (Gum) Disease
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is the major cause of tooth loss. The foundation of biological dentistry is to promote a healthy mouth. When the mouth is in a healthy state the gums are pink and attached to the roots. The roots are strong and completely surrounded by bone. There is no inflammation and rarely is there bleeding; imagine a sturdy new fence post that has just been placed in the ground. If you are following a daily regimen that involves brushing and plaque removal from the area around and in between the teeth there is a good chance that your mouth is in a healthy state.
