Our Mission
The International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM) is dedicated to advancing excellence in the art and science of biological dentistry and encouraging the highest standards of ethical conduct and responsible patient care.
The IABDM recognizes the crucial link between like-minded practitioners by supporting a team approach to healing through:
Mercury-safe dentistry.
Individualized testing for biocompatibility of dental materials.
Cranio-sacral, osteopathic & other body work for effective treatment of TMD and malocclusion.
Cavitation surgery of dental focal infections.
Diagnosis & treatment of dental & intra-oral conditions & associated structures based on scientific knowledge of energy, muscle testing, electromagnetics, sound, light, acupuncture, homeopathy and nutrition.
Chelation & other detoxifying modalities as appropriate for the removal of toxic heavy metals.
An integrated approach to body, mind & spirit with treatment of the whole person in the context of family & other care-givers.
Respect for the dignity & individuality of our patients & the right to informed consent.
What is Biological Dentistry?
Biological dentistry is concerned with the whole body effects of all dental materials, techniques and procedures.
It is fluoride-free, mercury-free and mercury-safe. Individualized testing for biocompatibility of dental materials is a must.
It insists that all clinical practice be designed of components that sustain life or improve the patient’s quality of life.
For the word “biological” refers to life.
Clinical awareness and science show us that what happens in the mouth is reflected in the body, and what happens in the body is reflected in the mouth. The complex, dynamic relationships of oral and systemic health within the context of the whole person are inseparable.
Biological dentistry unites the best clinical practices and technologies of Western dental medicine with a wide array of practices beyond its horizon.
Biological dentists may be general dentists, periodontists, orthodontists, oral surgeons or pedodontists. They also have extensive training in dental toxicology and specific modes of healing, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, herbology, homeopathy, iridology and energy medicine.
While it may be impossible to construct an authoritative list of protocols followed by the “typical” biological office, all share a common paradigm: treating causes of symptoms rather than symptoms toward the goal of restoring and sustaining health.
We also share a deep and constant belief in the Hippocratic dictate First, do no harm.
Biological dentistry is conservative dentistry. The aim is to be minimally invasive yet appropriately active.
