All You Need To Know About Natural Dentistry

Trusted Health Products
Many people try to steer clear of processed food, chemical products, medicines and highly perfumed cosmetics in favour of a more natural approach to life and natural dentistry is very popular. Natural dentistry is an umbrella term, which covers many bases, from natural and organic oral hygiene products, to green and amalgam-free dentistry and natural remedies for dental health problems. 


What is natural dentistry?

Natural dentistry is a form of dentistry which uses natural remedies, ingredients and techniques to treat dental issues, prevent dental health problems and promote good oral health. There are many different aspects of natural dentistry, from treatments and remedies for common dental ailments, to modern, environmentally-friendly techniques.

What is amalgam-free dentistry?

Amalgam-free dentistry is dentistry that does not use metal amalgam. Amalgam fillings, which contain mercury, used to be used very common to fill cavities, but many people now choose to have composite fillings, which are tooth-colored to provide better aesthetics and contain materials which are more environmentally-friendly. Concerns over the use of mercury have been raised and many countries have already banned the use of amalgam fillings; there are concerns about health, as well as the impact of using mercury and disposing of mercury fillings, on the environment. Many professional clinics are proud to promote the fact that they believe in amalgam-free dentistry.

What are the benefits of amalgam-free dentistry?

Amalgam-free dentistry has aesthetic benefits as composite fillings blend in with the natural color of the tooth and they are also safer. Amalgam-free dentistry is also much cleaner and there are no concerns about disposal of amalgam, which is thought to have a negative impact on the environment.

What are the best natural remedies for a toothache?

Most of us suffer from tooth ache at some point in our lives and are familiar with just how painful tooth pain can be. Sometimes its not possible to see a dentist straight away and many people prefer to use natural remedies, rather than visiting the medicine cabinet and taking pills.

Natural remedies have been used to treat dental pain for centuries and popular treatments include clove and peppermint oil, tooth powder and oil pulling.

Is natural dentistry as effective as conventional dentistry?

The jury is out on this one; some people swear by natural remedies while others prefer to stick to medical treatments, which are backed up by drug trials and scientific evidence. Many people prefer to use natural treatments and find them very effective, but most dentists recommend a conventional, medicine-based approach.

There are dentists, however, who practice natural dentistry and prefer a more holistic approach.

When should I see a dentist if I have a toothache?

If you have toothache and the natural remedies you are using are not having any effect, you should see your dentist. Tooth pain is often symptomatic of decay or infection and these issues tend to get worse with time, rather than better; you may need more intensive treatment, such as a filling or the removal of an abscess.

Are there any natural remedies for gum disease?

The best way to treat gum disease is prevention. Gum disease is the most common cause of tooth loss in adults, but it is completely preventable. Gum disease is caused by plaque, which contains harmful germs, irritating the gums and causing them to become sore and inflamed.

The best way to prevent plaque from collecting in the mouth is to brush morning and night for at least two minutes each time, rinse with mouthwash, floss and attend regular dental appointments. If you notice symptoms of gum disease, such as bleeding when you brush or swollen, tender and red gums and soreness around the gums, see your dentist.
