Interference field therapy addresses one of the most underestimated causes of chronic illness: silent inflammatory processes originating in the jaw. In biological dentistry, these focal infections and interference fields play a central role because they can burden the entire body — often without causing obvious local pain. If you experience persistent, unexplained health complaints, the source may be closer than you think.
An interference field is a localised area of chronic, low-grade inflammation or irritation that continuously sends pathological signals into the nervous system and immune system. In the jaw, the most common interference fields include:
These interference fields can trigger or perpetuate a wide range of systemic complaints, including chronic fatigue, headaches, joint pain, hormonal imbalances, and impaired immune function. The connection between oral focal infections and systemic disease has been recognised in biological medicine for decades.
Accurate diagnosis is essential — many interference fields are invisible on standard two-dimensional X-rays. At our practice, we employ a multi-layered diagnostic approach:
This integrative approach allows us to build a comprehensive picture and prioritise treatment in a way that minimises stress on the body.
Once interference fields are identified, treatment is planned individually and carried out with the highest standards of biological safety. Depending on the findings, treatment may include surgical removal of FDOK/NICO lesions with careful debridement of the affected jawbone, extraction of non-restorable or problematic teeth, and comprehensive aftercare to support optimal healing.
Where ceramic implants or metal-free restorations are indicated following tooth removal, we use only metal-free, biocompatible materials to avoid introducing new interference sources. We also integrate supportive biological therapies to accelerate healing and reduce post-operative inflammation:
Every treatment plan is developed in close dialogue with you, taking into account your individual health situation and the recommendations of any collaborating practitioners.
Interference field therapy is particularly relevant for patients who:
Many interference fields cause no local pain and are therefore easily overlooked. Typical indicators include chronic fatigue, recurring headaches or migraines, unexplained joint or muscle pain, persistent skin complaints, or a general sense of unwellness that has not been resolved through conventional medical investigation. A comprehensive jaw assessment using 3D CBCT imaging and clinical examination can provide clarity. Using PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) after surgical treatment further supports natural healing and reduces the risk of post-operative complications.
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia and, where appropriate, with additional sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout. Patients with dental anxiety are particularly welcome — we take the time to explain every step and proceed only when you feel safe and ready.
The number of sessions depends on the extent and complexity of the findings. After the initial diagnostic consultation, we will outline a clear treatment plan with realistic timeframes. Many patients notice improvements in their general wellbeing within weeks of the interference field being resolved.
Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan and the specific treatment required. We are happy to advise you on the likely costs during your consultation and provide you with a detailed treatment estimate in advance.
If you suffer from chronic, unexplained complaints, a comprehensive jaw assessment with CBCT and clinical examination can provide the clarity you have been searching for. Book a consultation.
