What makes holistic dentistry different?

For Dr. Zraiqat, holistic dentistry starts with one key idea: the mouth is connected to the rest of the body.

That means looking beyond a single tooth and considering how oral health, materials, inflammation, immune response, and each patient’s overall health may all play a role in care decisions.

It also means personalization. A dental material or treatment approach that works well for one person may not be the best fit for another — especially when factors like sensitivity, biocompatibility, detox pathways, or immune health are part of the picture.

Holistic dentistry isn’t about ignoring traditional dental care. It’s about widening the lens, asking better questions, and creating a plan that respects the whole person.

Educational content only. Not medical or dental advice. Individual evaluation is necessary.

You can watch the bacteria from your own mouth — live, on a screen. Calm slide = good sign. Busy one (movement, spirochetes, white blood cells) = worth a closer look. That's phase contrast microscopy. 🔬🦷 #oralhealth #biologicaldentistry

Ozone is simply a form of oxygen — O₃ instead of the O₂ we breathe. It has antimicrobial properties, which means it can help reduce bacteria. In our practice, we use it in a few specific ways as part of an overall treatment plan:

💧 As ozonated water during cleanings
🦷 As a gas during cavity preparation and treatment 🌿 In certain gum and root treatments, to help reduce bacteria

It's not a magic bullet, and it doesn't replace good dental care — it's one more tool that fits our metal-free, biocompatible, whole-body approach. We use it where it makes sense, as part of a bigger plan tailored to you.
Curious whether ozone fits into your care? We're always happy to talk it through.

That cloud you see when a drill hits an old silver filling? That's the part most people never think about.

A "silver" filling is about 50% mercury. While it sits intact in your tooth, it releases very little. But the moment it's drilled, the friction and heat throw off a spray of fine particles and vapor — and according to peer-reviewed research, that particulate can be an even greater source of mercury exposure when inhaled than the vapor itself.

That's why, in Dr. Z's view, the real question was never "should I remove my fillings?" It's "if I do, how is it being done?"

A protected removal is designed to catch that spray before it ever reaches you:
🦷 Rubber dam isolating the tooth
🦷 High-volume suction right at the source
🦷 Cool water to limit heat and vapor
🦷 Clean air to breathe + full protection for the team

Same procedure. Completely different exposure.
If you've got old amalgam fillings and you've never been shown how a safe removal actually works, that's worth a conversation — no pressure, just information.

🦷 Always get a second opinion.

A patient came to me after being told he needed a crown. He'd been seeing a dentist who kept finding "new" work every single visit — and something didn't add up.

So I took my own X-rays. The truth? The decay was small, nowhere near the nerve, and most of the tooth was completely healthy. A crown would've meant shaving down all that good structure. Instead, a simple filling saves around 70% of his tooth and gives it way more longevity.
Crowns are sometimes necessary — but only based on what's actually left after the decay is removed. Not by default.
Whether it's a dentist, a doctor, or a contractor: honesty is the most important thing you should be looking for. 🙏

Pregnant or planning? This is the filling question no one tells you to ask 🤍

Those silver fillings = mercury. And studies have linked how many a mom has to mercury found in cord blood + breast milk.

Not saying panic. Not saying rip them out. Just saying… ask. 🌿

Why drill more than necessary when your natural tooth structure may still be worth preserving?
🦷✨

At Holistic Dental Arts, we take a conservative, whole-body approach to dentistry.

With Biomimetic Dentistry, the goal is to restore teeth in a way that respects their natural strength, function, and design — not just “fill a hole.” When decay is caught early, we may also use Dental Ozone Therapy to help reduce harmful bacteria and support a cleaner foundation for treatment.

Because your teeth are not separate from your body. They are part of your overall health — and they deserve thoughtful, precise care.

(1/5) Most people call them “silver fillings”… but dental amalgam isn’t just silver.

It’s a mixture of metals that can include mercury, silver, tin, copper, and zinc. Over time, amalgam fillings may release small amounts of mercury vapor, especially during chewing, grinding, or removal.

At Holistic Dental Arts, we look at dentistry through a whole-body lens — including the materials used in your mouth.

Mercury-safe removal matters.

Your dental implant lives in your jaw for decades.
Titanium → corrodes over time Zirconia → biocompatible, metal-free, ceramic
Ask which one your dentist is placing.

It matters. 🦷

Have you ever noticed a metallic taste, tingling, burning, or a quick “zapping” sensation near old dental work?

This may be related to something called oral galvanism - a small electrical current that can occur when different metals are present in the mouth and saliva acts as a conductor.

For example, a silver/amalgam filling and a gold crown can create a “battery-like” effect in certain situations.

At Holistic Dental Arts, we look beyond the tooth alone. We consider how dental materials interact with your mouth, your body, and your overall wellness.

Biocompatibility matters.

Comment “METAL” if you’ve ever experienced a strange metallic taste or zapping sensation near dental work.

Your jaw position may affect more than just your bite.

In this clip, Dr. Z explains how jaw alignment can influence your airway, breathing, and even sleep apnea symptoms. When the jaw is not properly positioned, it may contribute to restricted airflow during sleep — leading to snoring, poor rest, and daytime fatigue.

At Holistic Dental Arts, we look beyond the teeth to better understand the full mouth-body connection.
