"Holistic dentistry" – also known as environmental dentistry – is a completely new and multidisciplinary oriented therapy and treatment approach for dentists and dental assistants as well as dental technicians.

Foreign materials in the field of dentistry, orthopedics or surgery as well as drug and hormone replacement therapies are virtually already a matter of course – that is, they have become quite normal. And yet too easily we forget that every intervention into our organism can also have effects on the entire body. Accordingly, diseased teeth or intolerances to materials can be causes for chronic diseases, allergies or other medical problems.

The focus for the environmental dental specialist is, therefore, on the comprehensive dental treatment of chronically ill patients as well as preventative treatment concepts for healthy patients.

The aim is to prevent chronic inflammatory diseases – also those distant from the oral cavity – or alleviate already existing illnesses.

Environmental dentistry takes the relationship between the teeth and the body into account and in the treatment, helps by working together with other therapists (doctors, orthopedic specialists, dental technicians, osteopaths, physical therapists/physiotherapists etc.). 

The aim of a holistic dental treatment as well should always be to normalize the balance of bacteria in the oral cavity. When planning a tailored, individual treatment, an analysis of the minerals, trace elements and toxic heavy metals which are present in the body is very helpful.

Thanks to Oligoscan II diagnostics, we have the possibility to generate a high-precision analysis of the elements of mineral metabolism, trace elements and the disturbances caused by toxic heavy metals in a matter of seconds.

To do this, a measurement is performed at four different points on the palm of the hand using a laser device. This method is non-invasive – which means no blood is taken and it is completely pain free!

The Oligoscan II system is a certified EU medical product and with its innovative method of measurement – spectrophotometry – provides the possibility for the assessment of the intracellular mineral metabolism for the regulation of cellular metabolism.

The advantages of Oligoscan-II diagnostics:

• Fast localization of possible lack or surplus situations and therefore, a faster initiation of targeted therapy measures.
• The Oligoscan determines 20 minerals and trace elements as well as 14 toxic heavy metals.

Periodontitis is a chronic, recurring infectious disease, and, therefore, the care of patients with periodontitis is generally long-term.

The treatment of periodontitis is technically one of the most challenging within the context of treating infectious diseases, therefore, generalized solutions for these patients such as untargeted antibiotic therapy (outcome: development of resistance) or pure mechanical therapy without microbiological control (outcome: facilitation of bacterial growth and overgrowth with aggressive bacteria) are out of the question.

Due to the highly prevalent use of antibiotics worldwide bacteria and germs are becoming more and more resistant. Alternative treatment techniques are, therefore, increasingly coming to the fore, including the tried and tested treatment of infections with essential oils.
