Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, DDS
Biologic Dentist, Naturopath, Author, Educator & Trusted Guide to Thousands
Dr. Michelle Jorgensen is one of the most trusted leaders in holistic dentistry. A functional dentist, Board-Certified Traditional Naturopath, and author of six books, she’s helped thousands reclaim their health by addressing what most doctors ignore—the connection between the mouth and the body.
Today, patients fly across the country to visit her Utah-based practice, Total Care Dental & Wellness, and healthcare professionals nationwide train under her guidance. But her journey began with a health crisis that changed everything…
The Wake-Up Call That Changed Everything
After 10 years as a traditional dentist, Dr. Michelle became chronically ill—only to discover she had mercury poisoning from removing mercury fillings. This terrifying discovery led her to question everything about conventional dentistry.
What followed was a journey through functional medicine, nutrition, detox, and holistic health. Her research—and recovery—evolved into a new model of care: The Total Care Dental Way™, a whole-body healing approach that’s now transforming lives across the U.S.
“I didn’t set out to change dentistry. I just wanted to heal myself. But once I found the truth, I knew I had to share it.”

Expanding the Mission
Living Well with Dr. Michelle
When she couldn’t find clean, effective oral care for her own family, she created it. Today, Living Well with Dr. Michelle offers safe, natural dental and wellness products trusted by families across the country.
Living Well Professionals
When she saw patients struggling to find the care they deserved, she began training the next generation of holistic healthcare providers. Her professional training and mentorship programs help dentists and practitioners integrate biologic, whole-body approaches into their work.
Total Care Kids
When she wanted children to receive the same high-quality care, she co-founded Total Care Kids—a pediatric and orthodontic clinic grounded in the same biologic principles as her flagship practice.
The Living Well Homestead
Dr. Michelle doesn’t just talk about healthy living—she lives it every day on the Living Well Homestead. Together with her husband, children, and grandchildren, she tends the land, growing and preserving food, making natural medicine, and practicing self-sufficiency.
What began as a family lifestyle has grown into a thriving on-site education center, where Dr. Michelle and her team have taught thousands of families how to:
Grow and harvest their own food
Preserve what they produce
Make safe, natural remedies
Cook wholesome meals straight from the garden
Prepare their homes for greater resilience
The homestead is more than a farm—it’s a living classroom where families discover that living well is possible, practical, and deeply rewarding.
