Dental Materials Testing with Bio-Scan
Using The BioScan For Biocompatibility Testing Of Dental Materials
At Natural Smiles Dental Care, we aim to ensure that the dental materials placed in our patients’ teeth for treatment will be safe for the whole body. This approach is known as biocompatibility of dental materials. Our bodies are all unique, and not every person’s body will react the same way to various materials used in dentistry. Dental materials used to treat teeth or gums are also likely long-lasting if not permanent. We therefore encourage our patients to have a test for compatibility of materials prior to dental treatment. The purpose of materials testing is to minimize toxicity and immune reactivity. Therefore, ensuring the compatibility of materials within the body is important. This test does NOT claim to replace the IgG or IgE antibody responses of an allergy test but rather aims to screen for possible disturbances of a dental material within a patient’s energetic system.
At our office, we use the BioScan MSA (Meridian Stress Assessment) device. This is a painless, non-invasive, FDA-cleared device used by alternative and integrative health practitioners to perform a general assessment of a client’s overall energetic health and well-being. It is used as a screening tool to identify “stressors” and energetic imbalances in the body’s energy pathways (meridians), which can help guide personalized wellness plans. Many of our patients who have chemical sensitivities, or who have the need to have several dental restorations placed, often choose to be tested for Dental material compatibility. We recommend that this testing be done yearly, as the body’s sensitivities can change over time.
