Find out whether you should be visiting a holistic dentist for care.
These days, more and more people are taking an active and vested interest in their health. Instead of simply treating problems once they occur there is more of a focus on preventive care that invests in ways to support the body as a whole. Here in Honolulu, HI, our dentists Dr. Tony Kim and Dr. Mark Kuioka provide holistic dentistry to patients of all ages who are looking for safe, effective dental care that puts their health first.
What makes holistic dentists different from regular dentists?
Traditionally, dentistry has focused on ways to treat certain conditions and diseases that impact the teeth, gums, oral tissue, jaw, and face. Our oral health impacts our general health and vice versa, so to only consider one factor of your health ignores another major component of your health and wellbeing.
With holistic dentistry, we understand how your oral health and general health are interconnected, and we provide treatment options and preventive approaches to support your health overall, including helping you maintain a beautiful smile.
What are the benefits of holistic dentistry?
Wondering what to expect when you turn to our holistic dentistry team here in Honolulu, HI? Some of the benefits of visiting our practice include:
- Metal-free restorations
You might not know that amalgam fillings and crowns contain mercury, which is toxic. Every time you bite or chew, the metal in your teeth releases a little bit of mercury into your body. Over time, this can lead to everything from poor sleep and headaches to respiratory issues and nerve damage.
Here at The Dental Day Spa of Hawaii, our holistic dentistry team is focused on providing you with metal-free restorations such as fillings and crowns that are completely safe. Plus, they are made from tooth-colored materials, so they blend right in with your smile for a more esthetically pleasing final result.
- Whole-body care
Your mouth tells us so much about your overall health. We commonly deal with cavities that are caused by an increased buildup of plaque or tartar. They tell us that there are bad bacteria in your mouth and in your body. Those with plaque buildup may also be more at risk for plaque buildup in the arteries. Patients dealing with gum disease are also more likely to deal with widespread inflammation. By providing holistic and safe treatment options to improve your teeth and gums, we can also protect your overall health, too!
Give your smile the trustworthy and dependable care it deserves. If you’re interested in turning to our holistic dentistry team in Honolulu, HI, all you have to do is call Dr. Kim and Dr. Kuioka of The Dental Day Spa of Hawaii at (808) 734-2099 to schedule your first appointment.
