Biological dentistry is the practice of the best elements of conventional dentistry with a focus on the implications oral health has on the entire body. Biological dentistry recognizes the link between oral health and general health.
As biological dentists, Drs. Ira and Michael Schecter appreciate that the diseases and materials in your mouth can have lasting, negative affects on other systems in your body. At the same time, systemic imbalance can manifest as disease in the mouth. It is critical to work within a team of other like-minded health care providers to achieve ideal health.
At Schecter Dental, we keep your whole health in mind – not just the condition of your teeth and mouth. We are excited to discuss and learn with you. There are complex relationships between nutrition, life balance, strong health, and quality of life. We are striving to bring awareness and value to comprehensive therapeutics.
