holistically minded: NORTHWEST NATURAL DENTISTRY Written by Dr. Cory Harker, DDS | Owner of Northwest Natural Dentistry
What is holistic dentistry? Holistic dentistry can mean many things and go by many names. Some of those names include: natural dentistry, biologic dentistry, integrative dentistry, preventive dentistry and biomimetic dentistry. While natural dentistry tends to focus on avoiding ingredients or procedures that may have toxic effects, any practice that goes by one of these names will incorporate the main tenet of holistic health: the whole body is much more than the sum of its parts, meaning that all the systems of our bodies work together synergistically. Essentially, the health of your mouth is connected to, and can have an effect on, your overall health. 22 jan • feb 2022
