Boca Raton Holistic Dentist
Holistic Dentistry is an alternative, natural method of dentistry that is becoming both more widely known and popular. Holistic dentists, like Tower Dentistry in Boca Raton, Florida, do not work with materials they believe to be toxic, including the traditional method for filling cavities, amalgam fillings. These fillings are made of nearly 50 percent mercury, which is a known toxin. The rest of the fillings are made of about 35 percent silver and various other metals such as copper, zinc, and tin. Holistic dentists like Dr. Donald Newman in Boca Raton offer an alternative to the use of these fillings as our practice views them as poisonous. Mercury can be absorbed into the brain, blood and organs, causing disease and disorders. We also discourage the use of “laughing gas”, believing it to be potentially harmful to the body.
Dr. Newman, a Holistic Dentist, and owner of Tower Dentistry, considers his patients’ entire well-being as opposed to just their teeth and gums. He believes that his patients’ mouths can tell them a lot about what is going on with the rest of their body, and approach these problems with programs that will care for their whole body as well as their mouth.

What is Holistic Dentistry?
Holistic dental techniques encapsulate both traditional dental treatments and what are known as alternative techniques. One of the major benefits to holistic dentistry is the use of biocompatible dental materials that reduce toxicity in the body.
To some, holistic dentistry will sound new age and strange; why change dental techniques now? However, holistic dentistry is aimed at focusing on the patient’s well being and care. Holistic dental treatments do not differ hugely from traditional treatments but will focus on using dental materials that will not introduce toxins into the body. As your Holistic dentists our Boca Raton office will also be able to educate you, as our patient, on ways to maintain a diet that will reduce toxicity in the body.
