Remember when going to the dentist was a dreaded activity that people would do anything to avoid? Maybe a trip to the dentist is still something people lose sleep over to this day? Hopefully after a sneak peak into the direction the dental industry is moving, everyone will be less nervous about a trip to that cold, leather, execution-style chair.
Ordinarily, going to the dentist meant sitting in a chair, leaning back, with someone examining and scraping peoples’ teeth. It was a quick trip, with dentists looking around mouths for any sign of cavities or tooth decay. Then they would say those words that would send chills down individuals’ spines, “See you in six months.”
Wouldn’t it be nice if going to the dentist meant more than just examining teeth for cavities and decay? Welcome to holistic dentistry. The Holistic Dental Network defines the field as: "an approach to Dentistry that promotes health and wellness instead of the treatment of disease. This approach to Dentistry encompasses both modern science and knowledge drawn from the world’s great traditions on natural healing. Holistic Dentistry acknowledges and deals with the mind, body, and spirit of the patient, not just his or her "Teeth".
Dr. Shea Stevens, a Lancaster PA dental services provider, is ahead of the curve in the holistic dentistry world. At Smiles By Stevens, located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Dr. Stevens has already begun, and continues to take measures, to ensure his patient are receiving the best care, many times catching problems before they arise. One of his first moves was to discontinue use of dental fillings that contain amalgam. Amalgam has been found to contain mercury, which is very harmful to the body.
Dr. Stevens, along with the Holistic Dental Network are also examining the issue of root canals possibly endangering patients’ systemic health by potentially spreading trapped dental bacteria throughout the body. These few issues, along with many other innovative treatment ideas in the holistic dentistry community, are being studied closely by industry leading dentists like Dr. Shea Stevens.
Going to the dentist may still be a scary thing to many people. Hopefully after reading this, and now knowing that the best dentists in the industry have more than just persons’ teeth as their top priority, the visit to the dentist’s office will bring more fulfillments to everyone. Who knows, maybe people will catch themselves beating the dentist to the punch saying, “See you in six months Doc.”
