Are you a holistic dentist?

There is no recognized specialty or standard for holistic or biological dentistry. We are very aware that the mouth is connected to the body even though historically medicine and dentistry have viewed it as separate.  We take the best of traditional dentistry and alternative approaches to bring you care that is both SAFE and EFFECTIVE. We provide the same care to our patients that we give to our own families.

What is your philosophy on fluoride?

Fluoride has been clinically proven to be effective in strengthening enamel and preventing cavities from growing and developing in the first place.  Fluoride is naturally present in the environment, but too much can be a bad thing so moderation is key.  We have chosen to use small amounts of fluoride with our own children. We know that the benefits of preventing cavities and a lifetime of subsequent dental problems greatly outweighs the risks of ingesting small amounts of fluoride. Because there are many factors that contribute to tooth decay, there are many different approaches to cavity prevention in addition to fluoride. It is usually best to use more than one approach in patients who are at high risk for tooth decay. If you have chosen not to use fluoride for any reason, we will be happy to recommend alternative treatments.
