Abstract

Holistic dental care integrates traditional dental practices with natural remedies and whole-body health philosophies, emphasizing the prevention of oral diseases and the promotion of overall well-being. This approach advocates for the use of natural remedies such as oil pulling, herbal mouth rinses, aloe vera, tea tree oil, and dietary modifications to maintain oral health. Additionally, holistic practices include minimally invasive dentistry, biocompatible materials, laser dentistry, homeopathic treatments, and stress reduction techniques. This article explores the various natural remedies and holistic practices, their effectiveness in dental care, and their role in enhancing the patient's overall health. While scientific evidence supports many holistic methods, further research is needed to establish standardized protocols. Holistic dental care offers a comprehensive approach to oral health, reflecting a growing trend towards integrating natural and conventional treatments for optimal health outcomes.
