The Importance of Biocompatibility Testing Prior to Dental Treatment

As a holistic dental clinic in Toronto, we provide biocompatibility testing for our patients to ensure prevention of dental toxicity and all other immune system challenges. We understand that each of our patients may have a unique immune system, where specific dental materials can cause adverse, unanticipated effects for some. In comparison to food allergies, dental materials can remain in your tissues and wreak havoc on your body for years!

Here at Junction Family Dental, all dental materials used are selected upon their ability to optimally integrate with each of our patient’s specific bio-chemistry, which is tested in a lab prior to treatment. In general dentistry, there are 2000+ dental materials that may have a different reaction to each individual’s immune system.

Toxicity created through a reaction with any one of these materials can create hazardous implications that could cause severe health problems we want our patients to avoid. It’s significant to note that because of each individual’s unique immune system, there isn’t one specific dental material used that will suit every patient.

It’s extremely important for us as a biological dental clinic to reduce outside stressors to the body as much as possible. By doing our due diligence through biocompatibility testing, we’re able to prevent unnecessary, extra stressors from all dental materials that may cause cases of systemic inflammation, gum inflammation, having to re-do failed dental restoration procedures, worsening of auto-immune diseases, dermatitis/eczema, allergic reactions and more.

Biocompatibility testing is highly recommended for any individuals who have auto-immune diseases, stressed immune systems, and any known/existing allergies. As a holistic dentistry that focuses on the health of the whole body, our goal would not be to create further implications to the immune system that could put more of a burden towards it. For all of our patients, having biocompatibility testing prior to treatments will help to ensure the longevity of any dental procedures done and reduce any adverse reactions.

The benefit of discussing these factors with each patient allows our biological dental team the ability to communicate solutions, which greatly benefit each individual according to their personalized evaluation done at our clinic. By following our recommendations, our patients are guided towards healthier lifestyle choices that will not only create the best outcome towards their oral health but towards an overall higher quality of life!

Our holistic methodology towards oral health puts strong emphasis on improving sleep quality, incorporating healthy habits/ eliminating poor lifestyle habits, introducing healthier diet alternatives and daily exercise. Patients benefit greatly through creating resilient immune systems, taking them far in all areas of their life with Junction Family Dental’s recommended solutions.

When it comes to sugar intake in our diet, we should all know by now the damage it causes and to keep sugar levels at a minimum. This includes sugary sodas, fruit juices and candy. If you do want to grab something to drink, green tea is an incredible option with a multitude of health benefits. It kills odor-causing bacteria, alkalizes your mouth, helps to prevent tooth loss and inhibits the growth of cavity-causing bacteria.

We’ll use our biocompatibility testing to ensure that your dental procedures will be done only with materials that are suitable for your immune system.
