Health Focused Dentistry

To define it simply, Health Focused Dentistry means bringing a holistic philosophy to the practice of dentistry. Health focused dentistry can also be referred to as "holistic dentistry, biological dentistry, metal-free dentistry, toxic-free dentistry, natural dentistry, etc.". The goal of health focused dentistry is to harmonize a patient's dental wellness with their overall physical wellbeing, through the use of non-toxic materials for dental work, and by focusing on the unrecognized impact that dental toxins and hidden dental infections can have on overall health. When toxicity is identified as being present in the oral cavity, steps can be taken to rid the mouth of the toxin, and to help reestablish a state of wellness. Health focused dentistry takes into consideration how the treatment of the oral cavity will affect the immune system and overall health of the individual. Detoxification and support from other medical practitioners may be utilized to insure a successful treatment outcome.

Health focused dentistry is not always conventional, but always strives to be individually biocompatible. Practices such as electro-dermal screening, homeopathy, nutritional and detoxification therapies, acupressure, and massage are all incorporated by Dr. Evans, Dr. Nordin-Evans and Dr. Carney in an effort to individualize the treatment recommendations. Dr. Evans, Dr. Nordin-Evans and Dr. Carney strive to educate their patients which gives the patient the ability to make informed and educated decisions about all aspects of their dental care.

Above all, health focused dentistry emphasizes the need for prevention over intervention.
