San Diego Holistic Dentist Welcomes Biological Dentist Dr. Stacy Godes to The Center for Natural Dentistry

The Center for Natural Dentistry (www.NaturalDentistry.us) has taken another significant step in it’s fight to protect and preserve the health of it’s patients by hiring Dr. Stacy Godes to join Dr. Marvin Pantangco at San Diego’s prestigious holistic dental practice.

November 3, 2011 – San Diego holistic dental practice, The Center for Natural Dentistry, is pleased to announce the addition of biological dentist Dr. Stacy Godes to it’s team.

The Center for Natural Dentistry — a holistic dental practice in San Diego integrating natural procedures with traditional science-based dentistry — is focused on improving whole-body wellness through proper, effective dental care with an eye on improving the health of it’s patients.

The addition of Dr. Stacy Godes provides two benefits to existing and new patients:

• It provides patients with another skilled, experienced doctor to work with (The Center for Natural Dentistry was consistently booked up to five weeks in advance. Dr. Godes’ addition provides more opportunities for patients to schedule an appointment)
• It adds ozone therapy to the practice’s alternative dental offerings. Ozone Oxygen/ozone therapy, when introduced into the living system, disinfects the area treated, both safely and effectively. Treating with ozone in dentistry can increase blood flow, enhanced immune response, and provide a more rapid healing response. It’s often used as an alternative method of fighting cavities and periodontal disease.

“Being a holistic dental office, we never place mercury fillings,” says Dr. Marvin, “but it goes beyond that. We are seeking to improve and enhance the health and wellbeing of our patients. We never perform root canals, we follow a strict extraction protocol to prevent bone infection, we use non-surgical methods to treat gum disease, we are extremely cautious when removing mercury fillings, and we never use metals in our restorations. We also test our patients for biocompatibility before using any new materials… we are holistic dentists in every sense of the word. Adding Dr. Godes to the team takes us to a new level and allows to provide even better service to our patients.”

Dr. Stacy Godes (pronounced ‘Goddess’) chose to pursue a career in the dental profession as a way to help people achieve their goals related to overall health and well-being; a career choice that she says is exceptionally rewarding for her at The Center for Natural Dentistry as our newest holistic dentist. Combining the art and science of dentistry into a tool for healing is not just an interest, but a passion for Dr. Godes, as she works to promote health and healing of her patients.

Trained at University of the Pacific in general dentistry and at the IAOMT and IABDM in holistic dentistry, Dr. Godes is a valuable addition to the team and an asset to our patients.

“At The Center for Natural Dentistry, we help patients who have an appreciation for natural health as well as patients who have suffered from long-standing systemic health problems. Many of our patients have tried traditional medicine with unsatisfying results. We offer an alternative look – a look into how their mouth affects their overall health — with some amazing results.”

To celebrate the addition of Dr. Godes to The Center for Natural Dentistry team, they are offering a FREE 30-minute phone consultation to anyone who would like to know if holistic dentistry is right for them or to patients who have long-standing systemic health issues and are looking for answers.

The Facts About Ozone Therapy in Dentistry

Ozone: Natural Healing Agent … or Just a Lot of Hot Air?

Touted as a skincare treatment, a cure for cancer, and Mother Nature’s sunscreen, Ozone (O3) has also raised interest – and eyebrows – in the dental industry. As a 12-year dental practitioner passionate about holistic healthcare, I have been drilling down on the truth about ozone therapy. Here, let’s bust some myths about ozone and explore the proven applications of this treatment option.

True: Ozone is the strongest oxidizer in medicine. It’s the most powerful anti-bacterial treatment known, with the ability to kill viruses, yeasts, and bacteria.

True: Our bodies naturally produce ozone. Our white blood cells, which we use to combat infections, live in an ozone environment. Ozone applied as a dental treatment supplements that which our bodies already use naturally to kill bacteria and fungus.

False: Ozone treatment is a proven cure for cancer. Ozone does inhibit the growth of new tissue, and some proponents advocate that certain cancer cells can be inhibited by ozone, but there are no studies or clinical trials proving as much.

True: Ozone is not yet approved by the FDA for medical purposes. It is, however, FDA approved for food preservation and water treatment.

False: Olive oil infused with ozone can make you look younger. Some products, however, infused with ozone, are used for the treatment of skin inflammation including dermatitis and seborrhea.

True: Ozone has been used successfully for many years to combat cavities, infections, periodontal disease, tooth sensitivity, and cavitations. It also has effective applications in whitening and oral surgery.

False: Ozone is toxic to humans in all forms. Ozone, inhaled in certain quantities, can cause respiratory issues in mammals. At The Center for Natural Dentistry, however, we follow protocols that strictly limit ozone inhalation in quantity.

True: Ozone in dental therapy is not administered in toxic doses; it is not inhaled, or injected into the blood stream. At the Center for Natural Dentistry, we deliver ozone under a strict protocol, making it a safe and effective treatment option.

True: As a practioner of dentistry, I have seen remarkable and often immediate results from the use of ozone therapy. The strong and vital correlation between our oral environment and our entire body is supported by the use of holistic treatments such as ozone.

Dr. Frank Shallenberger, M.D., has noted 13 major effects of ozone on the human body, which help explain its effectiveness in holistic dentistry.

1. Ozone stimulates the production of white blood cells. As a result, allergies have a tendency to become desensitized.
2. Interferon levels – globular proteins that orchestrate every aspect of the immune system – are significantly increased.
3. Ozone stimulates the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor, inhibiting the growth of lone, metastasized cancer cells.
4. Ozone stimulates the secretion of IL-2, one of the cornerstones of the immune system..
5. Ozone kills most bacteria at low concentrations.
6. Ozone is effective against all types of fungi.
7. Ozone is the best virucide.
8. Ozone is antineoplastic, which inhibits the growth of new tissue.
9. Ozone oxidizes arterial plaque.
10. Ozone increases the flexibility and elasticity of red blood cells, allowing oxygen levels to stay elevated for days, or even weeks after treatment with ozone.
11. Ozone accelerates the Citric Acid Cycle. Also known as the Kreb’s Cycle or TCA Cycle, this is a very important step in the glycolysis of carbohydrate for energy.
12. Ozone makes the anti-oxidant enzyme system more efficient.
13. Ozone breaks down petrochemicals, which have a potential to place a great burden on the immune system.
