Biological dentistry is an approach to oral healthcare that views the teeth, gums, and jaw as part of an interconnected biological system, where dental materials, infections, and procedures can influence systemic health through immune, neurological, and inflammatory pathways.
That definition captures a shift that is still under-recognised in mainstream care. Conventional dentistry has historically focused…
Root canals and autoimmune disease are often linked through theories of chronic inflammation and immune activation, but current scientific evidence does not establish a clear, direct causal relationship.
This is one of the most contested topics in modern dentistry.
Biological dentistry often treats root canal-treated teeth as potential contributors to systemic illness. Conventional dentistry, by…
Dental infections can contribute to chronic illness by acting as persistent sources of inflammation, immune activation, and microbial byproducts, although their impact varies depending on the individual, the severity of infection, and overall biological context.
This is one of the most important, and most misunderstood, questions in oral health.
At one extreme, the claim is…
A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, disinfects the canal space, and seals it so the tooth can remain in place.
