Dentists

[Guest guest]

Interesting questions, I too worry about the polishing part wearing

down the tooth enamel. I have to get cleanings every 4 months to keep

my gums health regardless of what holistic methods I use. As for the

other stuff, well unfortunately I had bad dental care as a child and

had a mouthful of cavities which have become a mouthful of crowns and

will inevitably become a mouthful of either implants or dentures. I

use Sun Chlorella powder and use lots of cilantro in my veggie juice

to pull the heavy metals etc out of the body after xrays and heavy

dental procedures.

Hi,

Can someone please explain how a holistic dentist is different from

a regular dentist please?

 

I have just been told that I have a bad tooth that must either be

pulled out or have root canal. I remember that someone posted about

root canal being bad but I can't remember why. Can you please

enlighten me? Would a holistic dentist take a different view?

 

Thanks,
