    About this ebook

    Why are "holistic" dentists on the rise? Dawn Ewing, executive director of the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine, answers: "The growth is definitely patient-driven". The modern patient is increasingly health conscious. The readily available latest information in all spheres will soon cause patients to increasingly enquire and then entrust their healthcare, including dentistry, to establishments where these treatments and environments are practised, even if just partially.Today, the trend is looking toward natural alternatives when it comes to food, household products, health and wellness. It is therefore necessary for the dental industry to change with the passage of time. Holistic dentistry views the body and its well-being as a whole; this also includes oral health.The mouth does not exist in a state of isolation but forms an integral part of the entire body. In fact the mouth is a micro environment that mirrors the health of the total body.This book is meant mainly for dentists and dental medicine students and it is a helpful and informative guide about how to implement holistic and eco dentistry in the traditional day to day practice with some of the most efficient, safe and ethical elements along with the latest technology.

      Your Complete Guide to an Environmentally Friendly and Green Personal Dental Practice

      The holistic dental community is practised in various ways but there is a  number of common threads of what is to be considered the basic. A strong rejection of traditional amalgam for dental fillings is one of the key attributes that defines a holistic dentist including extremely cautious measures when removing mercury fillings. Similarly fluoride prevention is considered unfavourable and not to be recommended especially for children as well as the belief that the root canal treatment may spread microorganisms into the body and endanger the systematic health of the patient. A non-surgical approach for gum disease constitutes another strong element in the holistic treatments along with the use of bio-compatible dental materials as well as applying techniques that preserve as much of the tooth as possible.

      This book is an informative manual about how to implement holistic dentistry in the traditional day to day practice with some of the most efficient, safe and ethical elements, combining these three important topics:

      Green Dentistry or Eco Dentistry that is related to the environment friendly practice, less general waste, awareness and methods of how to prevent toxic leakage and long terms financial savings. Jumping from a non-toxic environment to a toxic-free treatment to the patients and the medical staff constitutes number 2, important book element.

      Elected materials and procedures that will benefit the patient long term and has the purpose to create a deeper trustful connection to their dentist based on the extra mile the dentist is making in assessing the well-being of the patient as a whole in the first place and then addressing to the specific issue.

      The concept is perceived by the patients as being more caring, professional and nurturing bonds with their dentist surgery then building the sensation of a safe environment. The human needs for security and safety is one of the most primary strong needs, create that space for them committed to the practice for a long term.

      The AI technology and nanotechnology these days evolve with light speed and are at a point where it shapes dentistry in a safer, faster, precise and less invasive dentistry. The dentists community’s main goal is to deliver the best service possible with minimum effort, time and expense for a safer more predictable, controllable treatment and one way is to combine these fields of dentistry more or less conventional and allow each dentist to elect the convenient approach suitable for their practice depending on influential factors like location, patient’s cultural background etc.

      This book’s educational purpose is to present a number of options, concepts, steps and procedures from which the dentist can elect according to their own vision.

      Introduction

      The purpose of this book is to introduce or improve current knowledge by including estimates of global environmental impacts and to the well-being of individuals, and patients. Homeostasis is a state of balance, environmental balance and balance for the body. For this reason it is important to understand that such balance and stability can be achieved by incorporating Holistic and Eco Dentistry into dental practice.

      Webster’s dictionary defines homeostasis as the maintenance of normal internal stability in the organism by coordinated responses of the organ systems that automatically compensate for environmental changes.

      Natural healing of the body occurs when all the internal and external elements are in balance. When external factors such as the food you eat, your environment, the chemicals in your area and the chemicals in your body are out of balance, it affects the natural healing of your body. In the human body homeostasis refers to the balance of the body's chemical and electro-magnetic systems. When your body balances all the related systems, including the inside of your mouth, they work together, and the necessary chemicals secreted by your glands are naturally released into your bloodstream at that moment and then your body is fully functional.

      After extensive research in the field of Holistic and Eco Dentistry, it is clear that none of them can do it alone. It is only in this mindset that the field of dentistry can move towards a future that benefits the planet and the people who live on this planet.

      Holistic and Eco Dentistry have a symbiotic relationship and should not be practised in isolation, but rather as a collaborative discipline.

      Change from Traditional Dentistry to Eco-Dentistry is Essential

      Climate change and the environment are important global problems, and this requires concern and awareness. Traditional dentistry produces harmful waste in the soil and in the eco systems of the planet. Dental work can make a difference in this area as dental practices change from traditional dentistry to holistic and eco-dentistry. This book focuses on alternative ways in which a dentist can begin to make changes in their practice to make a difference in the challenges i.e. facing climate change, waste production and management, and make their practice more profitable and sustainable, while giving patients healthier and better options.

      Currently, a dental practice generates waste in the areas of water, electricity, carbon emissions and harmful chemicals. Green dentistry identifies cost effective and easy to implement measures for dentist practices that ensure both dentists and patients are aware of how they can reduce waste and conserve energy, while encouraging awareness of the environment and promoting eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable habits.

      Definition of Eco Dentistry

      We are all aware of the predicament and the state of our planet. The human population and technology that humanity developed through the centuries has led to systematic breakdown of natural resources, resulting in climate change, water pollution, waste production and energy deficiency amongst other problems. This has all had a negative effect on the body including teeth and thereby the entire well-being of the body.

      Eco Dentistry or Green Dentistry is a new approach to dental practices and the well-being of the patient, the dentist and support staff. Environmentally conscious dental practices sustain and maintain wellness of the patient and dental office while reducing the impact on our environment by utilising a high-tech approach in the field of dental equipment. Eco Dentistry is highly beneficial to the patient as it encompasses a more holistic health point of view.

      Green dentistry is the future and resonates with millions of people in terms of their lifestyle and wellness while preserving our planet. Eco Dentistry is  aimed at the patient who wants to reduce their carbon footprint, wants to create a more sustainable earth for future generations and who believes  in the holistic, natural and healthy way of living.  This person exercises on a regular basis, eats healthy and is aware of chemicals used in the world in which he lives.

      Patients, dentists and green dental products and practices together can change the dental industry and contribute to the recovery of our world to being a healthier place for ourselves and future generations.
