Bio-Holistic Dentistry (Biological) (Whole body) Biodentistry accentuates the use of non-toxic, non-reactive, non-allergenic with better compatibility materials used in dentistry for treatments or restorations. It is focusing on the impact that toxic ingredients of material, bacterial toxins or hidden infections have on local oral tissues and on general health of the body. Holistic(wholistic) means interrelation of dental condition or problems with other parts of the body or the body in total. Most important and most frequent (most popular) problems associated with interaction of toxic substances with the dental tissues and with body in total is mercury from amalgam silver fillings. The detrimental effects of mercury leaking from dental amalgams on the health are well publicized. In the 1950s, Reinold Voll, M.D., Germany, discovered that each tooth in the mouth relates to a specific acupuncture meridian. Using his electro-acupuncture biofeedback technique, he found that if a tooth became infected or diseased, the organ on the same meridian could also become unhealthy. He found that the opposite held true as well, that dysfunction in a specific organ could lead to a problem in the corresponding tooth.
