Emergency Dental Care from a Holistic Dentist

What does a biological dentist have to offer the emergency dental patient? Biologic dentistry applies two standards of care: the standards of traditional dentistry and the biological dental standard of care, where the mouth is connected to the function of the body as a whole. This means that in every dental procedure and diagnosis both standards apply.

Diagnosis- As an example, in diagnosis of a tooth emergency, the biological, or holistic emergency dentist will try to prevent a root canal unless the tooth is truly irreversibly abscessed. If that is the case, the patient is fully informed of the possible consequences of a root canal.

Treatment- The treatment approach of the biological dentist may differ in that he or she will use drugs when necessary but has more options in the tool box to eliminate the pain, swelling and anxiety that are common with a dental emergency. Modalities such as herbals, homeopathics, oxygen/ozone, acupuncture/acupressure, lasers, and other biologic modalities may be incorporated for the comfort and healing of the patient.  If antibiotics are necessary, probiotic therapy with freeze dried garlic is recommended to re-establish the all important gut microbiome.

Emergency Care Dentist in Washington, D.C.

1. Convenient – emergencies happen at all times, and convenience means that the appointment may be the same day if needed; a group of biological dentists working day and night can better accommodate the patient as well as be on call 24 hours for the non-office hour emergency.
2. Compassionate – we know that you are hurting and may anxious about dental work (which is often the reason for the emergency), so we welcome you and have a wide variety of methods to make the emergency client comfortable.
3. Comprehensive-  Holistic dentistry for the entire family requires that our services include all Dental specialties – proficiency in surgery (all phases), periodontal (gum work), pediatric dentistry (children), endodontics (root canals), orthodonic (tooth movement), prosthodontics (dentures, crowns and bridges), TMJ (jaw, facial and head pain and other dysfunctions) as well as Biological Dental principles because often the tooth may be in pain but the organ that is on the same meridian could be related to the pain as a primary issue.
