Holistic dentistry is a field of dentistry with a focus on the health of the body as a whole, not just the mouth. Holistic dentistry ensures everything performed in the mouth. It's for the benefit of the rest of the patient and ensures all procedures and materials are biocompatible. Dr. Nathan Pfister also educates patients on the oral systemic connection, which is a link between bacteria and the smile and specific medical conditions that may be improved or resolved with dental treatment. Holistic dentistry provides natural therapies in conjunction with conventional treatments to provide patients with the best in oral healthcare solutions. This type of dentistry is sometimes called biological dentistry and takes into account the patient's health as a whole and not just the smile. This type of dentistry avoids the use of non-biocompatible metals and materials in the mouth, such as silver amalgam fillings, which are known to cause mercury toxicity.
Holistic dentistry extends beyond the smile instead of just focusing on cleanings, fillings, and the treatment of periodontal disease. The field of dentistry ensures the health of the entire body dentist practicing biocompatible dentistry are well aware of the effects of using certain materials within the smile and how it impacts the rest of the body. Holistic dentists also ensure bacteria does not enter the bloodstream from periodontal disease. Holistic dentistry does not mean treatment is more expensive. In fact, Dr. Nathan Pfister ensures all of his services are affordable for patients so they can receive the best care possible. Many treatments may have costs associated with other types of materials being used, but these services can be financed with our team or paid in a variety of ways to make treatment attainable.
At the practice of Dr. Nathan Pfister, we follow the standards set forth by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, also known as the IAOMT and the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health. These organizations have set forth specific ways to address a variety of periodontal concerns, such as periodontal disease and the placement of fillings, which are followed to a T by our staff to ensure safety and health of everyone participating in treatment. Patients who are considering holistic treatment may be unsure as to whether aesthetics are still attainable. Dr. Nathan Pfister still focuses on cosmetic dentistry as well as holistic care. He can offer materials that are not only safe for the smile, but are more aesthetic than traditional materials. For example, instead of using silver amalgam fillings, which are noticeable within the smile, he utilizes composite resin fillings instead, which match the color of natural tooth enamel.
In recent years patients, dentists, doctors, and medical studies have recognized the connection between the health of a person's mouth and his or her overall health and wellness. Specific medical conditions including memory disorders, Alzheimer, heart problems (Cardiovascular Disease CVD), diabetes, and stroke have been connected to dental bacteria and inflammation originating from the mouth. To that end, patients in Dothan are searching for a dentist who will care for the entire patient, from a complete and holistic view, instead of only being concerned with the teeth and gums(between the cheeks).
Dr. Nathan Pfister of Biodentist Alabama is a trusted dentist providing his patients with holistic dental care. Dr. Pfister believes that everything that affects the mouth, such as tooth decay and gum disease, can also affect the patient's health and wellness. In fact, dental problems are a symptom and, if the source of the problem is not corrected an individual may continue to have dental problems and experience frustration. Therefore, he is committed to not only treating the problem or the symptoms, but finding the underlying cause. For example, a dentist could easily fix a cavity or treat gum disease and send you on your way. However, Dr. Pfister will ask you questions about your diet and oral health habits (risk assessment) and evaluate your dental plaque under microscope to determine if your oral health problems could be caused by poor nutrition, poor hygiene, dangerous oral bacteria, an abusive dental bite, or perhaps a deeper medical condition.

There are other factors that separate a holistic dentist from a general dentist. As a holistic dentist, Dr. Pfister is also committed to only using safe materials during dental procedures. This includes using mercury-free and metal-free materials to fill cavities. As many people have taken notice over the last several years, mercury has been shown to be hazardous to the environment as well as dangerous to a person's health. Some dentists believe that the patient is safer to keep an old mercury filling than to replace it. While that may be the case in some instances, Dr. Pfister is trained and experienced at "safely" removing mercury fillings, the goal of which is to not pollute the person or the environment, as mercury waste has been demonstrated to cause.
Finally, maybe the most important thing that earns Dr. Pfister the trust and respect of his patients searching for holistic care is that at Biodentist Alabama, patients are always involved and in charge of their individual treatment plan.
