#027 - Dentist Explains Holistic vs Integrative Oral Care 🧠🦷

In this episode of Mind Your Mouth, Dr. Maria Florou breaks down the difference between holistic and integrative dentistry, and why the distinction matters for your health. From root cause diagnostics to biological materials, she explains how each approach tackles oral care, systemic inflammation, and long-term vitality.

Drawing from clinical experience and patient case studies, Dr. Florou shares how integrative dentistry blends conventional tools with functional medicine, while holistic dentistry often leans into natural remedies without the same clinical rigour. This episode offers a clear, evidence-based guide to choosing the right path for your dental and overall wellbeing.
