Recommendation Come To US!
Many patients travel to our office with some even coming from overseas but we know not everyone is able to make it into our office. We also offer virtual appointments.
Mercury dental filling removal
Mercury is one of the deadliest metals on the planet and has been known to cause massive, irreversible neurological damage and can damage. Learn how we safely remove them.
Root Canals & Dangers of Failure
The problem is that is nearly impossible to completely clean out the tooth which could lead to major problems, including sickness, fatigue, chronic illness, and autoimmune disease.
What Are Dental Cavitations?
If the area where a tooth is removed doesn’t heal properly, a hole persists in the bone. These cavitation areas have been linked to the immune system and chronic illnesses.
Ozone in our office!
Ozone binds to to bugs, bacteria, virus, fungus and parasites and is effective at killing them 🦠☠️. We use it all day long, every single day to help you stay healthy or return to health.
How to Reverse Tooth Decay?
We have a special laser at the office that can detect cavities and it can tell us exactly how deep they are. This allows us to know if remineralization is a possibility 🦷✨.
Ceramic Zirconia Implants
Zirconia is known for its biocompatibility, meaning it is generally well-tolerated by the human body. This reduces the risk of allergic reactions or sensitivity.
Tooth Care Answers
Dental Care Products
We recommend using simple products with ingredients you can pronounce and don't have to worry about ingesting. We recommend using products with hydroxyapatite instead of fluoride.
Fluoride vs Hydroxyapatite
There is no fluoride originally in the tooth, So why are we adding back something we never had? We use products that have hydroxyapatite the mineral that a tooth is actually made of.
Toothpaste Ingredients
We also recommend products that have hydroxyapatite which will strengthen teeth and prevents cavities. Look for simple ingredients for the best results.
Tooth Powders
Combining the powerful effects of hydroxyapatite and bentonite clay with healing essential oils, this tooth powder helps to rebuild the enamel in a tooth.
Oral Problems & Infections
Acid Reflux
Acid reflux is usually misunderstood. Most people think if they have acid reflux it is because we have to much acid but it actually means the opposite. Learn the importance of stomach acid.
Bleeding Gums
Bleeding gums can be a sign of serious issues. There are literally thousands of research articles that have shown a connection between gum disease and overall disease.
Cavities
A tooth is made up of multiple layers🧅 an outer layer called enamel and an inner layer called dentin. Both layers are filled with minerals. The minerals can be dissolved from acid.
Gum Disease
Gum disease could lead to infection, bone loss, and the tooth eventually falling out. This infection can lead to a host of other health concerns. Learn how we can help.

TMJ or Jaw Pain
If you have these symptoms or signs of jaw pain, the first step should be to determine the source of the discomfort. From there, we proceed with treatment.
Ear Ringing / Tinnitus
Two things that I would look at is TMJ function with a dentist and a cranial sacral therapist. And hopefully we can help that ringing go away permanently.
Tooth Abscess
If your tooth is hurting all by itself, if the pain doesn't go away quickly, if it wakes you up at night, these could be signs that you probably have an abscess tooth.

protecting teeth with nutrition
Nutrition has an enormous part to play in making sure you never have another cavity. Learn what you should you eat and how to get all the nutrients from them.
Natural Probiotics
A lot of us have gut issues and I believe a significant portion of that is because we kill off the good bacteria in our gut. Fermented foods add those good bacteria back in.

Nightlase® is a really innovative, noninvasive treatment for sleep apnea and is a great alternitive using a CPAP. It uses a laser to treat the back of throat to allow better airflow.
