When it comes to your child’s dental care, choosing a holistic approach can make all the difference. At Dental and Skin Clinic, we believe oral health should support overall wellbeing, not just healthy teeth. That’s why we take a whole-body approach, focusing on safe materials, preventative care and a gentle experience designed for children.
What Makes Holistic Dentistry Different for Kids?
Holistic dentistry is about more than fillings and cleans, it considers how oral health influences a child’s whole body and future wellbeing. By using treatments that are free from BPA and fluoride, we protect your child’s teeth while reducing unnecessary exposure to substances that may not align with your families preference. This means:
- BPA-Free Fillings: When a filling is needed, we only use materials that are biocompatible and safe for growing bodies.
- Fluoride-free Cleans: We use gentle, fluoride-free options for preventative care that still keeps your teeth strong and healthy.
These choices ensure your child’s dental care is both effective and supports long-term health.
Oral Health and the Whole Body
Children’s oral health is closely connected to the health of their organs and systems. Untreated decay, gum inflammation, or infection can place extra stress on the body. Research shows that oral health can affect:
- Heart health: Gum problems can increase inflammation, which affects cardiovascular wellbeing.
- Joints and bones: Poor oral health may contribute to inflammatory processes that impact musculoskeletal health.
- Respiratory health: Oral bacteria can travel through the airway, influencing breathing and lung health.
- Skin health: Infections or inflammation in the mouth may show up in the skin.
- Emotional wellbeing: A healthy smile supports confidence, while pain or dental anxiety can affect mood and social development.
By protecting oral health early, we support the whole child. Physically, emotionally and socially.
A Healthier Smile, A Healthier Child
Holistic dentistry empowers parents to choose treatments that feel safe, effective and supportive of overall wellbeing. At Dental and Skin Clinic, our BPA-free, fluoride-free approach ensures your child’s dental care aligns with your values while laying the foundation for a healthier body and a confident smile.
