What is Biological Dentistry?
May 6th, 2008 by Dr. Kourosh Maddahi DDS
Biological dentistry aims to use natural products or materials that are more compatible with the patient’s body. A biological dentist does not use any type of metals in the mouth, no metals underneath the crowns, no metal crowns and to some extent, no implants because these are materials that would be incompatible with the patient’s body. Biological dentists stay away from root canals because they cause toxins in the body. Every material that is used still has some toxicity, but these dentists use materials that are less toxic and better for the patient.
