When practicing biological dentistry, patients frequently ask is a root canal safe, prompting a deep dive into root canal risks and the critical choice of tooth extraction vs root canal followed by holistic dental implants. If you’ve ever scrolled through wellness forums, fallen down a late-night TikTok rabbit hole, or watched a documentary on systemic […]
What is Dental Cavitation? These are known as jawbone cavitations, or hollow, necrotic (dead) holes in the jawbone. When most people think of a dental infection, they picture a painful, throbbing toothache or an obvious swollen gum. But there is a silent, hidden type of bone infection that standard x-rays completely miss, a type of […]
If you've lost a tooth, and are researching replacement options, you've probably noticed two materials keep coming up: titanium and zirconia implants. Titanium has decades of track record behind it, though some patients have raised concerns about whether titanium implants can trigger allergic or inflammatory responses. Zirconia is the newer metal-free option, and at Biological […]
Many people are surprised to learn that traditional "silver fillings" are not actually made of silver alone. In fact, dental amalgam fillings are approximately 50% mercury by weight, combined with silver, copper, tin, and other metals. This has led many patients to ask an important question: Could my old silver fillings be exposing me to […]
Titanium dental implants have been used successfully for decades and have helped millions of people replace missing teeth. For most patients, they function well and integrate successfully with the jawbone. However, a growing number of patients are asking an important question: Can titanium dental implants cause inflammation, allergy-like reactions, or other health concerns? The answer […]
Biological dentistry, also known as holistic or functional dentistry,is an approach that recognizes the mouth as an integral part of the entire body. Rather than focusing only on teeth and gums, holistic dentists evaluate how oral health influences and is influenced by systemic health, including the immune system, cardiovascular system, and even neurological health. This […]
When patients look into dental implants today, many are no longer focused on function alone; they’re also thinking about biocompatibility, long term affects to whole body health, and aesthetics. Zirconia implants have emerged as a leading option for those seeking a metal-free, biologically aligned solution for tooth replacement. What Are Zirconia Implants? Zirconia implants are […]
When patients think about dental implants, they often focus on the material (such as zirconia vs. titanium) or the look of the final crown. Those details matter, but one of the biggest factors in long-term success is something many people don’t hear enough about: proper implant placement. At Seattle Dental Care – Biological Dental Care, […]
Root canal therapy is meant to remove infected tissue from inside a tooth and seal it. But in real life, an infection can still develop, or linger around, underneath a root canal treated tooth, sometimes months or even years later. In biological dentistry, we pay close attention to hidden infection patterns, how they impact the […]
Root canal re-infection, cavitation, unhealthy tissue formation under the bone, and chronic jaw infection are often overlooked complications that can develop after root canal treatment. In some cases, unhealthy or necrotic tissue can form beneath the bone years after a root canal, slowly worsening over time and leading to infection, cavitation, and chronic inflammation. Often without […]
