Maryland Holistic Dentist uses a biological approach in a mercury free and fluoride free dental office.

At Maryland Holistic Dentistry our goal is to improve overall health by optimizing oral health. It is a well established fact that oral infection can contribute if not cause heart, cardiovascular and other diseases. Oral infections can spread to other parts of the body and cause health problems. The mouth and the teeth are not disconnected from the rest of the body. Rather, the teeth, jaws and airway is the front door to the entire body and plays a critical role in our health for the better or worse. This is the cornerstone principal of holistic dentistry.

Our treatment starts with a comprehensive assessment and detailed patient dental and medical history. We may get a cone beam CBCT 3D scan. CBCT is especially effective in diagnosing asymptomatic oral infections such as failed root canals and cavitations (extractions that did not heal properly). We are accredited by the IAOMT and we always use safe removal of mercury amalgam fillings.

We offer many common dental treatments including metal-free fillings, crowns, biocompatible implants, holistic orthodontics, dental PRF, ozone and TMJ and airway treatments. The benefits of holistic dentistry are enormous.

Holistic dentists go to dental school and pass all the same tests as regular dentists.

They pass the dental boards. Holistic dentists have the same state licenses and are held to all the same standards of care. After dental school, a dentist can choose to get training at different places that teach holistic dentistry techniques. Some of these places include:

How Holistic Dentistry is Different

Holistic General Dentist vs Holistic Dental Specialists

Holistic dentists have a wide range of different training experiences from one provider to another. Just like regular dentists. Some do oral surgery, orthodontics, gum procedures. The materials are often different because holistic materials typically have fewer chemicals and toxins and need to be biocompatible. Some of the different things holistic dentists do are:

  • Ceramic fillings
  • Safe amalgam removal
  • Dental ozone infused into cavities and extraction sites
  • PRF or platelet rich fibrin
  • Holistic dental implants

How do Dentists Become Holistic?

Holistic dentists go to the same dental schools as traditional dentists and get the same DDS or DMD degree. Many of them even go on to become orthodontists, gum specialists or even oral surgeons. Holistic training is in addition to regular dental school training. A good filling, still needs to be a good filling. And oral surgery still needs to be done such as pull a tooth out. But a holistic dentist will select materials that have the fewest chemicals and are very biocompatible. Holistic dentists will use ozone along with fillings, crowns and oral surgery. In this way the holistic dentistry just makes the regular dentistry better. There is nothing weird or quacky about it.

How are Holistic and Biological Dentists Different?

A holistic dentist is one who believes oral health is an integral part of overall health. By understanding the connection of oral and overall health, holistic dentists become a valuable member of the medical team. Teeth are connected to other organs in the body by meridians.

In contrast, the goal of biological dentistry is to treat dental problems while working in harmony with the biology and natural function of the body. Teeth are living organs in the body and perform vital life processes.  Biologic dentistry recognizes teeth are living things. Teeth have the capacity to heal themselves. It is important to treat teeth in a way that does not harm or disrupt organic vital processes. Holistic and biological dentistry are similar and go together like birds and bees. A few examples of unique services in a biological office include ozone therapy, metal free zirconia implants, and prf platelet rich fibrin.

We are located in Spencerville/Burtonsville Maryland

Dr. Adams preselects materials that are metal-free, safe and biocompatible. “Every material placed into the mouth has an impact on our biology,” says Dr. Adams…”We should select those with the smallest and safest biological impact possible.” Dr. Adams has been replacing teeth permanently with implants for 19 years. Teeth are frequently lost from decay, root canal failure, and teeth clenching issues. “No one should have to accept losing teeth…my job is to repair and replace teeth while respecting overall health and biology… and also prevent future teeth loss by diagnosing and correcting the underlying cause…”

Dental Implants, Holistic Dentistry & Orthodontics

Dr. Adams is a holistic dentist who uses a biological and natural approach to all procedures.

Gary Adams DDS is accredited by the IAOMT for SMART amalgam filling removal. Dr Adams is also trained in the Hal Huggins-Blanche Grube Protocol. Some of the biocompatible materials we use include BPA free Admira Fusion (porcelain) filling material, metal-free zirconia crowns, fluoride free treatments, non-metal ceramic dental implants. There are many benefits to zirconia implants vs titanium such as better biocompatibility and gum health. A very popular natural holistic treatment is oxygen and ozone therapy in the treatment of jaw bone infections, tooth cavities, and infected root canals. Ozone therapy is a mixture of O2/O3 gas. Ozone is very effective in treating bacteria and fungal infection and promoting healing by oxygenation of biological tissues. Ozone is especially useful in treating root canal infections. Explore alternatives to root canals.
