Our Style of Care
Dentistry 4 Health and Healing is a developing modern approach to a whole person and holistic practice of dental care. No one specific person or organisation owns this practice.
D4HH blends current and developing scientific understanding and information about dental and general health care with an alternative and holistic approach to health and healing.
D4HH is part of a team approach to 21st century health care. It has a role towards an INTEGRATIVE approach to whole body health care.
How it is practiced depends on the individual practitioners understanding, knowledge, skill and personal beliefs and as importantly what each patient understands and chooses to receive.
D4HH promotes using modern equipment, techniques and materials, integrating it with holistic observations and healing principles to deliver dental care that enhances dental and whole body health.
What is Dentistry 4 Health and Healing’s CORE MESSAGE?
D4HH is a dental orinetated healing modality. It primarily aims to restore health and balance (hormesis) by harmonising form and function and the oral cavity head neck and shoulders as part of the whole body.
Its secondary aim is the elimination of dental diseases and toxic dental care influences and thereby reducing dental induced inflammation. This will have a direct effect on whole body inflammation which is acknowledged as one of the main causes for the increase in chronic systemic ill health that we see in our modern world.
