Seven Essential Questions To Ask Your Holistic Dentist

Many dental offices claim to be “mercury-free” because they no longer place amalgam (silver-mercury) fillings. However, a mercury-safe office implements specific protocols to protect patients while safely treating teeth with existing mercury fillings. Our office has been mercury-safe for more than 20 years, ensuring your safety during treatment.

The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) is a global network of dental professionals, health experts, and scientists focused on the biocompatibility of dental products and techniques. Dr. Jonathan Odinsky, an accredited IAOMT member, has passed a rigorous board examination to meet their standards of excellence.

The Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) is a comprehensive protocol developed by the IAOMT to minimize mercury exposure during amalgam removal. For over 20 years, our office has adhered to IAOMT’s safe practices, even before the introduction of SMART certification.

Yes, we use digital x-rays, which reduce radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional methods. This technology provides immediate, high-quality images that help us evaluate cavities, ensure the proper fit of fillings and crowns, detect cysts or tumors, and more. Digital x-rays offer significant health and safety benefits, aligning with our commitment to your well-being.

Our office exclusively uses non-toxic, biocompatible materials that are free of heavy metals and BPA. For patients with unique sensitivities or allergies, we offer biocompatibility testing through blood analysis to ensure optimal material selection.

Ozone, a form of “super-charged” oxygen, is a powerful yet non-toxic solution for eliminating pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and mold. We use medical-grade equipment to create ozonized water, gas, and infused oils for use in periodontal treatments, cavity disinfection, root canal therapy, and more. All water used in our treatments is ozonized for enhanced safety.

Root canal treatment is a nuanced topic in holistic dentistry. When the nerve inside a tooth is damaged due to decay or trauma, our holistic dentists carefully evaluate whether preserving the tooth through root canal therapy is appropriate or if extraction is a better option. For patients opting for root canal therapy, we use ozone water, and gas to disinfect the tooth and biocompatible materials to seal it. 

Each patient’s situation is unique, and we provide personalized guidance to help you make the best decision for your health.
