More and more, health conscious people are turning to natural medicine and holistic dentistry for their dental health care needs. In general, holistic dentists try to treat the underlying cause of disease by using the safest and least toxic forms of dental care possible Holistic Dentistry is essentially an approach to dental treatment, primarily caring for patient's health and safety from both a conventional as well as an "alternative dental care" point of view.

With almost 90% of the population suffering from bleeding gums at some point of their lives, gum disease is today a real threat; sore gums that bleed with the slightest contact of a toothbrush or dental floss are a sign of a problem which requires careful attention and a professional dentist’s diagnosis. The accumulation of dental plaque where the teeth meet the gums is the main cause of gingivitis, the inflammation of gum tissues because of the bacteria contained in dental plaque. Long term gingivitis indicates plaque has been accumulating over time. It can lead to the formation of “pockets”, a separation between gum and teeth, where the process continues even if the bleeding stops. 10% of the patients who suffer from bleeding gums and develop “pockets” end up having periodontal disease, which is an inflammation around the teeth that usually leads to the loss of bone supporting teeth and, eventually, to tooth loss. Prevention and early recognition is the key to avoi...

Dental Implants Lancashire Over the last few years I have repeatedly been asked the same question over and over, by my patients; Dental Implant restoration or a fixed Bridge. Patients would like to know which the better option for them is. If you are looking at it from a purely financial angle; dental bridges can be a cheaper option, depending on who the cosmetic dentist is, their qualification, experience and of course the type of bridge provided and the materials used. But bridges are supported on the surrounding good teeth. Over time the load on these perfectly good teeth causes them to wear away. Or you might have to shave down the other teeth in order to get the “bridge” done right. This is the worst aspect of the bridge. It weakens your other teeth while trying to keep your tooth in question. Now, ten years down the line you will be looking at fixing two more teeth. So, it seems like the answer to the question dental implant or bridge? The dental implants...
