As a holistic dentist, it is my mission and vision to highlight the weaknesses of my profession and the training we receive in regard to the oral-systemic connection (your mouth and your body impact on each other) so that dental professionals and educators can improve the delivery of the oral and overall health of our patients.

I believe it is our duty to support and empower you to understand where the approach of conventional dentistry is lacking so that you understand better your needs, what to ask of your dentist and other health professionals and how to take charge of your own dental health and wellbeing.

MERCURY FILLINGS AND HOLISTIC DENTISTRY

It is obvious that in regard to mercury amalgam fillings, dentistry is heading in a new direction and more and more dentists are rethinking the use and safety of these fillings. In 2008 it was estimated that 52% of all general dentists no longer placed amalgams in their patients' teeth. The majority however stopped doing so not because they felt amalgam was not a good or safe filling material but more because of a push to have fillings that look more natural. However, it does provide insight into the future of amalgam fillings and while it is clear that dentistry will eventually be Mercury Free . . . is just being Mercury Free enough?

If you suffer from headaches, migraines, facial pain, pain behind your eyes or pains in your neck and shoulders you should mention it to your dentist as the cause may actually lie inside your mouth. The cause of your headaches could be due to problems with your bite which is known as an occlusion in the trade. The way your teeth meet when your jaws close together can impact your jaw joint and surrounding muscles. If your bite is out of balance it can have far-reaching effects on your health, posture and well-being.

Do holistic dentistry and cosmetic dentistry go together? Did you know straight well aligned teeth provide you with many oral health and well-being benefits? Think of your teeth as a window to the health of your body. Your teeth and gums — and how they look to others when you smile — say a lot about your overall health. If you're taking good care of both, you're probably taking good care of the rest of you. Clear aligners or braces make caring for your teeth and gums easier.

Having straight teeth reduces the risk of possible problems alleviating issues that can be caused by an improper bite, speech or chewing difficulties, jaw problems, and increased wear on the tooth enamel. Clear Invisalign-like aligners effectively address all of these orthodontic issues, so you'll have the confidence of a great smile and increase the likelihood of improved oral health.
