What is a Holistic DDS?
From www.healthcentereddentistry.com:
“Holistic dentistry is an alternative approach to dentistry that believes your oral health is absolutely interconnected to your overall health. It focuses on using biocompatible (non-toxic) restorative materials, eliminating infections, and promoting optimal teeth / jaw / head / neck structural relationships. Because no dentist can “do it all,” they will often work together with a wide variety of healthcare professionals promoting integrated, complimentary care. The focus of a true Holistic Dentist is to identify areas of oral disease and structural dysfunction that may be negatively impacting the health and wellbeing of the patient. As a rule, they will then use the least invasive, least traumatic, and least toxic means of diagnosis and treatment. True holistic care supports the body’s natural abilities of self-healing and regeneration.”

Do you do amalgam removals?
Yes, we do. During your amalgam removal appointment, we use double high-vac suctions, and have air purifiers and ionizers in each operatory. After your appointment, we give an amalgam detox sheet with dietary guidelines to help further detox the body of the mercury amalgam that was removed.
