Holistic dentistry combines alternative therapies such as massage, nutrition, biofeedback and acupuncture with the traditional dental technology. Like all holistic therapies, holistic dentistry treats the whole patient, rather than an isolated symptom, through the use of natural, safe and painless methods. Holistic dentists offer X-rays without exposure to high doses of radiation, and alternatives to metallic-colored, potentially toxic mercury fillings. Holistic dentists believe that every person is a unique individual, rather than an example of a particular disease. Tooth or mouth diseases are understood to be the result of physical, emotional, spiritual, social and environmental imbalance. Healing, therefore, takes place when these aspects of life are brought into proper balance
