TOP 5 Frequently Asked Questions about Collective Health Society
What is your approach to gut health and digestion, and why is it linked to oral health?
The gut is central to nutrient absorption, immune balance, and systemic inflammation. If your gut is out of balance (dysbiosis, permeability, poor digestion), it can drive inflammation, hormonal issues, or immune stress — which in turn can influence oral health (e.g. gum inflammation, slow healing). We evaluate digestive function, diet, microbiome, and then use nutrition, lifestyle changes, and healing protocols (e.g. gut repair supplements, food elimination) to support both gut and oral wellness together.
Does insurance cover holistic/biological dental care?
In most cases, insurance covers holistic dentistry the same way it covers conventional dentistry, since many of the procedures are the same (exams, cleanings, fillings, crowns, etc.). Some specialized tests or therapies may not be covered, but your dental team can help you navigate coverage and financing options. For new patient visits, insurance typically covers the comprehensive evaluation, including 2D X-rays if yours need updating.
What types of patients benefit most from holistic dentistry?
Anyone can benefit, but patients with autoimmune conditions, chemical sensitivities, or those seeking a more natural and preventive approach to health often find holistic dentistry especially valuable.
Do holistic dentists still do regular dental procedures?
Yes. Holistic dentists still perform cleanings, fillings, crowns, and other standard dental treatments. The main difference is the philosophy and choice of materials—biocompatible and non-toxic options are prioritized whenever possible.
What does functional/integrative dentist mean, and how is it different from a regular dentist?
Integrative oral health + wellness” means treating the mouth in connection with the rest of the body. Instead of just cleaning your teeth or fixing cavities, the approach looks at how your oral health affects gut, hormones, inflammation, immune system, and overall vitality. At Collective Health Society, we use lifestyle, nutrition, supplements, detox, and targeted healing strategies alongside dental care, so improvements in one area support the whole system.
