What IsHolistic Dentistry?
Our Holistic Dentistry Services
We offer a range of treatments designed to meet your unique needs and preferences. These services include:

- Fluoride-Free Options: We offer a range of fluoride-free options to cater to our patients' diverse needs and preferences. These options are ideal for those seeking a more holistic approach to oral health or who may have sensitivities to fluoride. Rest assured, our team is dedicated to providing personalized care that respects your choices and supports your overall well-being.
- Nutritional Counseling: Nutrition plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal oral and overall health. Our team offers personalized nutritional counseling to help you make informed choices that support your dental and overall wellness goals.
- Integrated Approach: We work closely with other healthcare providers, including naturopathic doctors and holistic practitioners, to ensure that your dental care aligns with your overall wellness plan.
Fluoride Verses Nano-Hydroxyapatite
Fluoride: The Traditional Defender
How It Works: Fluoride fortifies teeth by integrating into the enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks and helping to prevent cavities.
Why It's Used: A mainstay in dental care for decades, fluoride is celebrated for its effectiveness in cavity prevention and is found in many toothpastes and mouthwashes.
Considerations: Despite its benefits, fluoride's potential for side effects at high doses has spurred interest in alternative treatments.
Nano-Hydroxyapatite: Nature’s Mimic
How It Works: nano-HA is a biomimetic material that naturally bonds with tooth enamel, repairing and rebuilding it on a microscopic level. It enhances the tooth's natural whiteness and reduces sensitivity by filling in cracks and lesions.
Why It's Used: As a holistic and biocompatible option, nano-HA aligns with natural health principles, offering an effective alternative for those sensitive to fluoride or seeking a more natural approach to dental care.
Considerations: nano-HA is particularly effective in remineralizing enamel and providing relief from sensitivity, making it a standout choice for comprehensive oral health
Making Your Choice
Whether you lean towards the time-tested efficacy of fluoride or the natural, restorative properties of nano-HA, both options serve to strengthen and protect your teeth. Your decision might be influenced by personal health philosophies, sensitivity concerns, or the desire for a more natural approach to dental care.
At Flossologie, we're here to guide you through these choices, ensuring your smile is not only beautiful but healthy and strong. Speak to us about your oral health preferences—we're dedicated to tailoring our care to suit your needs.
