Rethinking Dental Health with Biological Dentistry - 19
In this episode of The Whole Health Podcast, co-hosts Dr. Kelly Blodgett DMD, NMD, IBDM and Megan Barnett MS, CNS, dive into the fundamentals of biological dentistry, exploring how it differs from conventional dental practices and why it matters for whole-body health.
Topics Discussed Include:
- Biological Dentistry Prioritizes Health-Conscious, Minimally Invasive Care
Dr. Kelly Blodgett explains how biological dentistry focuses on treatments that align with whole-body health—avoiding toxic materials (like mercury) and unnecessary procedures (like aggressive crown prep or root canals), and instead honoring the uniqueness of each tooth and patient. - Patients Must Advocate for Themselves and Ask Questions
The episode emphasizes the importance of informed consent and patient empowerment. Megan and Kelly encourage listeners to seek second opinions, ask providers about all available options, and be cautious of practices that use terms like "holistic" or "biological" without demonstrating those values. - Less Is Often More When It Comes to Dental Interventions
The conversation highlights the value of taking a conservative, step-by-step approach to dental care. Instead of jumping to invasive procedures, providers should assess each case individually and allow the patient’s condition to guide treatment—prioritizing preservation over intervention whenever possible.
