Holistic dentistry is a unique approach to dentistry. This innovative method intertwines the principles of conventional dentistry with a broader understanding of health and wellness. Practiced by Dr. Madison Kurz and Dr. Kevin Chittenden at Cedar Avenue Family Dentistry, holistic dentistry considers the whole person, not just their oral health. It emphasizes the use of non-toxic dental materials, focuses on the prevention of oral disease, and recognizes the links between oral health and overall wellbeing. It's a comprehensive, integrative approach that respects and nurtures the body's innate ability to heal itself.
Holistic dentistry is also known as biological dentistry or integrative dentistry.

Holistic dentistry prioritizes the use of biocompatible, non-toxic materials. This means you won't have to worry about potential health risks associated with common dental materials like amalgam, which contains mercury. Instead, safer alternatives are used, reducing potential toxicity and allergic reactions.
Holistic dentistry recognizes the interconnectedness of the body. An issue in your mouth can impact other parts of your body, and vice versa. This approach ensures that your dental treatments are in harmony with your overall health, promoting total wellness.
Holistic dentistry is not just about treating problems as they arise; it's about preventing them in the first place. Through education and preventive treatments, holistic dentists help patients maintain optimal oral health and prevent disease.
The holistic dentistry process begins with a comprehensive evaluation. This includes a thorough examination of your oral health, as well as a discussion about your overall health, lifestyle, and wellness goals.
Based on the findings from the evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is developed. This plan is designed to address your specific dental needs while also considering your overall health and wellbeing.
Holistic dentistry is about more than just one-off treatments. It involves ongoing support and care to help you maintain optimal oral and overall health. This includes regular check-ups, preventive treatments, and education about oral health and wellness.
