Biological Dentistry Procedure of Treatment
Neural therapy, oral acupuncture, cold laser therapy and mouth balancing dental procedures are accompanied with homeopathy remedies. And diet and nutrition maybe recommended to enhance its effectiveness.
- Neural Therapy – When biological energy that flows throughout human body is disrupted a number of chronic disorders occur. For example, injuries, infection and inflammation in the mouth signals blockage of energy. So the problem in a distant organ can be remedied by restoring normal flow of energy at the site of dental problem.So biological dentists inject procaine (local anesthetic) around the offending tooth.
Treatment Time – 2-3 seconds for injecting.
Treatment Frequency – Depends on the body’s response to the injection. To identify the site of blockage 4-5 treatments over a period of 2-4 weeks maybe tried.
- Oral Acupuncture – According to this therapy imbalanced energy-flow can be adjusted by applying needles at specific points (meridian). Homeopathic solutions, weak local anesthetics or injections or saline water are used at points within the mouth. It is useful for problems ranging from digestive disorders and neuralgia to allergies and sinusitis.
Treatment Time – 1-2 seconds for injecting.

It is found beneficial in temporomandibular joint syndrome, eye problems and headaches. With the aid of a computer the alignment of teeth, jaws and muscles are evaluated. The deformities are identified, and the jaw is realigned with the help of custom orthopedic braces, thus eliminating pain.
