Any Integrative~Holistic Dentistry Referrals?

OMG, Mitch Marder is a college friend and the dentist who literally saved my life! I just moved to Puerto Rico and am in search of a holistic dentist. Did you ever find one?

What is a holistic dentist?

The dental industry is a pretty toxic industry. Holistic, naturopathiic, or biologic dentists are dentists that have undergone additional training and commitment to reduce the toxicity. If you are going to get root canals, fillings put in or removed , this kind of dentist will do it in a less toxic fashion and possibly help you to detoxify from past work.

Hmmm...strikes me a bit odd.  I need to get educated on the topic.  What does the ADA have to say about the topic?

This type of dentistry is apparently controversial.  Think I’ll stay with my regular dentist.

I googled this.

Bad link, looks like they moved or removed the article

No, Sitka just missed the file extension

Each person is free to believe in whatever, but I do like the article, with 1 sinle exception, filling made with mercury can not in my mind be a good idea given the potential of Mercury accumulation in the body, we get it also from fish and other food and we get it from the environment, so why make it worse.

As a kid I received several of those fillings, but I have never had an issue. Maybe I was lucky, but why tempt faith.

Thanks Sitka

Guess I’m kinda conservative on medical issues.  I worked in the healthcare industry for many years, and come from a medical family. 

I trust evidence based medicine - the other stuff, not so much.   

Have a good day.   It’s a beautiful day on the beach today  - a smart guy I knew said “any day that my vision is not obscured by dirt is a good day”.  😎
