Biological Dentistry

Understanding biological dentistry, general dentistry by caring hands. At Virtue dental care we believe patients should have access to general dentistry solutions that focus on biocompatibility. Dr. Virtue and his team work closely with individuals who ensure everything done in the mouth is appropriate for the body as a whole. Biological dentistry is a field of dental care that specializes in providing care beyond the smile. Thanks to continued advances in technology and a better understanding of oral health and wellness dental teams can employ bio compatible dentistry techniques in their dental practices, easier than ever before. Not only do procedures ensure a natural look for the smile but they protect the body from other concerns. A perfect example of this is preventative care for periodontal disease and cavities. Periodontal disease can be carried through the body; this is because the bacteria causing the infection flows through the blood stream and can affect other organs, including the heart. Patients with periodontal disease may find themselves at a higher risk for a variety of conditions including strokes, heart disease and diabetes. By ensuring the smile is infection free patients can improve their overall health too. Dr. Virtue has extensive training which allows him to be branded as a biocompatible dentist in the area of Yadkinville North Carolina. His team of professionals are dedicated to helping with the removal and replacement of mercury filings. Our practice safely removes these old fillings and provides new filings using a material called composite resin, which is safer and more aesthetic.

Q & A with Dr. William Virtue – of Virtue Dental Care in Yadkinville, NC

What is biological dentistry? Biological dentistry is doing dentistry in a way that is the most health conscious way possible for the patient so we never use either one of those materials and we encourage people not to use particularly fluorite toothpaste unfortunately many times we have direct fluorite water because it is in our municipal supplies, but biological dentistry is doing said dentistry in a way that would increase one’s overall health

Dr. Virtue has dedicated his professional career to provide patients with the best of what dentistry has to offer with the higher standard of health and safety. Dr. Virtue practices mercury safe bio compatible dentistry in accordance with the highest standards of health and safety as outlined by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, which he was also the past president, the leading association of dental professional committed to biocompatible dental practices. We are delighted to speak to him today on a Few topics, which will give us clear idea of some of the common dental procedures. Welcome Dr. Virtue to DC TV and thank you for being on the show today.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you. Today Dr. Virtue will enlighten on some of the common questions you may have for holistic dentistry,

Dr. Virtue can you tell us what is holistic dentistry?

Well holistic dentistry is dentistry that takes the whole body into mind, in the past and still the present dentistry is usually the dentist looks at the tooth and the decides the best thing for that particular tooth for whatever the particular application it is – holistic dentistry is going to take in the fact of the immune system and the health of the patient so that we select material that are more biocompatible to the patient in other words we are always trying to optimize the immune system. Now I am the past president of the international academy of oral medicine toxicology, and also teach this material to dentists who want to learn to become bio compatible.

How is holistic dentistry different?

Well holistic dentistry is differ in the sense that we actually can do a biocompatibility study it is a blood test that can be done where we can choose materials and there is probably 6000 different materials in this booklet and the booklet comes back and we can actually choose what bonding material to use what tooth coloured filings to use, what crown we might have to use or whatever dental expertise you were doing. We can check through this book and find out what is compatible in the patient.

Who chooses holistic dentistry?

Well that is an interesting question because dentistry seems to be divided more or less between aesthetic dentistry and holistic density and the folks that we find and become more interested in the holistic or biocompatible dentistry come in from the internet. People who are more interested in aesthetic dentistry come in from a different avenue but what I have found over the years is the people who listen are interested in holistic dentistry are very knowledgeable about that subject and when I lecture to my students to teach this I tell them look you have to know what you are talking about because these patients will come in and they will know more about you on this and so you really need to bone up and study and be doing the right thing.

How does holistic dentistry go beyond ordinary dentistry?

Well as I said it takes a biocompatible issue into effect, and we are not just trying to fix a tooth we are trying to fix the patient. A lot of times people don’t realize you stick something in the mouth you are sticking it in the body so what that means is that we don’t use mercury filling. We have not used mercury filings in 20 years and the patient looks back into their mouth and they see what we commonly call a silver filing or amalgam they are 50 percent mercury so I call them mercury fillings so what I say a holistic is going to do is more safely remove those filings by using special suction equipment by using oxygen supply, vinyl dams and atom ionizers in the rooms in our basement we have a mercury collection system, it collects – you know 99 percent of the mercury that comes out of the patient’s mouth, and you realize that in most dental offices that mercury goes right into the septic system and it is estimated that 40 percent of the mercury in stream and rivers comes from dental offices but a bio compatible dentist will have a separator in his basement and will take that material out so that it does not get into our streams and rivers and that of course is recycled with a certified recycler with heavy waste like that.

Thank you so much for your time Dr. Virtue and for being with us today it was a pleasure! Well thank you I appreciate it.
