At Green Dentistry, we believe that your oral health is deeply connected to your overall health. Dr. Nammy Patel has dedicated her career to providing holistic dentistry that considers the entire body, not just the teeth and gums. For patients living with chronic illness, this whole-body approach can make a significant difference in both dental outcomes and overall well-being.
The Connection Between Oral Health and Chronic Illness
Your mouth is not separate from the rest of your body. Oral infections like gum disease can cause inflammation that spreads systemically, worsening conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders. Even the materials used in traditional dental treatments—such as mercury fillings and fluoride—can negatively affect health.
Holistic dentistry takes these connections seriously. By using non-toxic, biocompatible materials, we reduce the risk of triggering inflammation or exposing patients to harmful substances that may aggravate chronic conditions.
What Makes Holistic Dentistry Different
Holistic dentistry, also known as biological or natural dentistry, looks at how dental treatments influence the entire body. At Green Dentistry, we consider your physical, emotional, and even spiritual health when planning care. For patients with chronic illness, this personalized approach means safer procedures and a focus on balance throughout the body.
Instead of using outdated or toxic materials, we choose alternatives that are safer, gentler, and more compatible with your overall health. Our team works closely with naturopathic and integrative practitioners to ensure your care plan aligns with your broader health goals.
Dr. Patel’s Approach to Safe, Natural Dentistry
Green Dentistry is a mercury-free and BPA-free practice, equipped with advanced filtration systems that ensure safe removal of amalgam fillings. Dr. Patel is SMART Certified, meaning she uses specialized protocols to prevent mercury exposure during filling removal. These include protective barriers, mercury-absorbing rinses, and high-tech filters. The result is a safer, cleaner process for patients, particularly those managing chronic conditions.
Beyond removing toxins, Dr. Patel replaces old fillings with durable, tooth-colored resin that supports both function and appearance. Her membership in the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, the Holistic Dental Association, and the International Academy of Biological Dentistry & Medicine underscores her commitment to whole-health dental care.
A Supportive Path for Patients with Chronic Illness
Living with chronic illness often requires careful choices about medical and lifestyle care. Holistic dentistry offers an option that aligns with those priorities, reducing toxic exposure and supporting the body’s natural healing processes. At Green Dentistry, our focus is on helping patients achieve long-term oral health while also protecting their overall well-being.
