We know that stress is the combination of emotional, environmental, nutritional and postural factors. But did you know that dental complications can also lead to chronic stress?
In this episode of The Good Doctors, we will discuss how the holistic dentistry approach to the dental related issues can reduce the chronic tension headaches and other stress related problems.
It is believed that root canals may endanger systemic health of our body through the spread of trapped dental bacteria to the body. We will chat about other holistic dental topics and why Dr. Ron Ehrlich became a holistic dentist.
