Holistic Dentistry

Mineral Wells, Texas

Are you concerned about what goes into your body, even your mouth? Do you know how much what goes on in your mouth affects the rest of your body? Here at Dickerson Family Dental, we want to provide you with not only your normal dental care but we want to also provide treatments that can help your overall health and wellbeing.

Introducing Holistic Dentistry

Holistic dentistry is a type of dentistry that offers safe, natural, and minimally invasive treatments for your dental health. It also understands that much of what goes on with your mouth, such as how you hold your mouth, tongue, and whether you grind your teeth, and other things, can also affect other areas of your health, such as your ability to breathe properly through your nose and have good sleep.

Holistic dentistry strives to not only care about clean teeth and healthy gums, but also offer relief to the root causes of things such as sleep apnea or TMD. We want you to not only have a beautiful smile, but an overall healthier life, by taking care of all of your oral health needs.

Who Is a Candidate for Holistic Dentistry?

Since the point of holistic dentistry is to be minimally invasive and to use things like physical therapy to strengthen muscles related to the mouth and such, this type of dentistry is for anyone.

If you are interested in being empowered to care for your dental health, then this is the kind of dentistry for you. We want to be able to answer any questions you may have, so we can explain how and why the treatments we offer work. Being educated about your oral health benefits both you as a patient and allows us to ensure that each of our patients are recieving the best care they can get both in and out of the office.

Because we also focus on taking preventive measures in order to ensure there isn't a need for more invasive measures later, this type of dentistry isn't only for adults but also for children as their mouths fully develop.

What Are the Benefits of Holistic Dentistry?

Here are some of the many benefits of Holistic Dentistry:

Promotes overall health: Since the mouth and the rest of the body are a network of bones and muscles, we make sure not to just ignore signs from your body that may indicate that an adjustment in your mouth may be necessary. Thus, preventing unnecessary costs in treating symptoms that don't even help with the root cause.
Fewer invasive procedures: If it isn't necessary to have an invasive procedure to treat an issue, then we can help with treatments that tend to be less expensive and less risky for your overall health while still benefiting your future health.
Personalized care: We don't want to simply offer the same treatment to every single person. Each person is unique with their own set of needs. Rather than offer cookie-cutter treatments, we strive to fit the treatments we offer to each unique individual.
