Holistic dentistry does not leave patients without adequate treatment for TMJ disorders, tooth decay, and gum disease symptoms. It provides a safer option to small, constant amounts of toxin exposure that potentially put health in serious danger. Patients were given amalgam fillings for many years believing that ridding the mouth of decay restored optimal health, but the mercury in the metal then is able to leak into the body. Although cost effective, it is able to create complications with the development of other diseases, illnesses, and disorders.
