Choosing a Biological Dentist in Addison
"Holistic" and "biological" aren't regulated terms, so the label alone tells you little. Here's how to find the real thing in Addison.
Credentials worth looking for
Membership or accreditation with the IAOMT or a similar body, and SMART training, are reasonable signals — as is a dentist who explains materials and prevention clearly and cites sources like the ADA or AAP.
Questions to ask
- Do you follow a safe amalgam-removal protocol, and what is it?
- How do you decide when not to treat?
- Do you help with grinding and airway issues?
- Will you coordinate with my physician if a medical issue overlaps?
Red flags
Be cautious of a large, urgent first-visit plan — especially one built on removing sound fillings or "cavitation" surgery framed as necessary to cure a systemic illness. Cavitations are contested and poorly established, and no dental procedure treats a general-health disease.
Second opinions
Get a second opinion before any big plan — easy across the metro, and a good dentist welcomes it. Choose the office whose reasoning stays conservative.
