How Turlock, CA area patients can benefit from the best solutions for their TMD
Q: What is advanced biological dentistry?
A : Advanced biological dentistry might sound like some new form of treatment, but it has ancient roots. It is a whole-body approach to dentistry that places a firm emphasis on the connection and balance between the health of the mouth and the health of the body. Advanced biological dentistry focuses on evaluating underlying causes for oral disease or conditions, restoring balance, and improving overall wellness. At the Turlock office of Ramsin K. Davoud, DDS, we believe this approach gives us an edge in providing superior care to our patients in the Turlock area.
The core of biological dentistry is utilizing conservative, safe methods for restoring health. One of the ways we accomplish this is by using biocompatible materials.
Q: What are biocompatible materials?
A : We consider any materials that we put into our patients’ mouths. We always assess potential toxicity and the risk of bacteria to ensure our patients are healthy both during and after treatment. We know that patients have different reactions to treatment, which is why we are diligent in assessing risk to minimize potential allergies, sensitivity, or autoimmune reactions.
Q: What is your policy regarding mercury fillings?
A : Our practice is mercury-free and mercury-safe. That means we do not utilize amalgam fillings, which contain up to 50 percent mercury. It also means that we adhere to very specific guidelines regarding the safe removal of amalgam fillings. These guidelines include the use of proper oral protection for the patient, air ventilation, and even the method for removing the filling itself. Once an amalgam filling is properly removed and disposed of, we can replace it with a biocompatible resin filling that is safe, durable, and natural-looking.
Q: How can we get more information?
A : These are just some of the reasons patients in Turlock may want to consider visiting with an advanced biological dentist. If you would like more information, call us today at (209) 666-8867 to schedule a visit.
