Why Are So Many People Choosing Holistic Dentistry?
Episode description
In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of practices offering holistic dentistry and this has largely been patient-driven.
In the past, clients were happy just to have a dentist fix their teeth but attitudes to dentistry have been gradually changing. The internet has made people much more informed about all aspects of dentistry and how oral health impacts other areas of their lives.
People are turning to their dentist for information about everything from the right diet to sleep problems to treatment options and the environmental impacts of dental materials.
Dr Rachel Hall of Evolve Holistic Dentistry Brisbane reveals that she sees patients from all walks of life who come in for holistic dental care and just expect more than they are getting from their mainstream dentist. They ask better questions and they're much more informed about heading along a holistic path in their health care.
It's this that has created a demand for holistic dentistry but if you've never heard of it before you're likely to be wondering what, exactly, is a holistic approach to dentistry.
