The Dr. Nilo Recommendations Program: Your Path to Holistic Dental Health

There are situations where patients need certain things to improve or solve specific conditions. The ability to treat and heal holistically has been a key principle in my practice for many years. Why? Because dentistry isn’t just about filling a hole in a tooth or doing a cleaning. We are dealing with a human being, and the conditions we see are often just symptoms of what’s hidden.

While the medical community is often focused on prescribing the obvious, they may not be prepared to deal with each person as a separate entity with unique needs and presentations. As a dentist or hygienist, we are often the first, and many times the only, healthcare provider a patient sees. Therefore, our approach should be based on the best path to a patient’s overall health and well-being. Not taking a holistic approach and viewing the patient as a real, live, and complete person is contrary to why we got into this field in the first place.

This is why I’ve created the Dr. Nilo Recommendations Program. As part of your treatment, I will at times recommend specific items, such as certain brushes, supplements, or other health-related options, to enhance your healing process. These recommendations may have a direct or indirect impact on your overall health. The intention isn’t to promote a specific product, but to recommend the  type of item and explain what it does to improve your health situation.

You are always welcome to do your own research and find a similar item that works for you. The goal is to provide you with the tools you need to take control of your health beyond our time together in the dental chair.

Stay tuned and return to this ongoing blog, as this list will be continuously updated and expanded as new needs and patient improvements arise.
