Free Resource for Natural, Holistic Dental Information

It used to be that a search for holistic dental information would only turn up one or two resources on the entire Web. Today there are thousands of resources.

Unfortunately only a handful of truly great resources exist. At most sites you have to wade through tons of information that you’re not looking for just to answer the one or two questions you want to ask. We’ve solved that problem!

Today we officially launched a new website called AmericasHolisticDentist.com that provides one thing: answers to the most commonly asked holistic dental questions and the questions you might not have now, but need to ask!

All the answers are provided completely free and all are on video. Our goal is to get your most common questions answered by yours truly.  We’ve found that people love this format because they can see and hear it from the main source.

Currently we’re in Beta mode, but we already have more approximately 20 videos available to watch completely free. These videos answer questions such as:

• “What’s The Safest Way to Have Mercury Fillings Removed?”
• “What’s the Best Toothbrush for Children?”
• “Are Gold Fillings Safer than Mercury (Silver) Fillings?”
• “Are Deep Cleanings and Root Planings Safe?”
• “What’s the best way to prevent dental cavities?”
• “What are the 5 most important dental care items?”
• “Which electric toothbrush is the best?”
• “What’s the best mouthwash on the market?”
• “What’s the Proper Way to Floss Your Teeth (and What’s the Best Floss)?”
• And more.

Registration is completely free. All you need to do is visit http://americasholisticdentist.com/welcome/ and sign up for a free account.

Once you’re registered, you’ll get free access to all the videos currently on the site as well as all new videos we upload in the future (we currently have at least a dozen more that are being finalized and will be uploaded soon).

Check it out and let us know what you think. http://americasholisticdentist.com/welcome/

PS: We created this site because we believe that education is important. Before you seek any form of medical or dental treatment, you should understand your options and the risks inherent in any procedure. As a former educator myself, I always strive to provide complete information to my patients. I hope that AmericasHolisticDentist.com will be another positive step forward in our quest to educate and provide answers to questions about traditional and holistic dentistry. Thanks!

Cleanings

In addition to nutrition, routine cleanings are a vital way to ensure you’re not at risk of periodontal disease.

Periodontal disease is an infection of the teeth, gums, and the bone that surrounds the teeth. Most people who have periodontal disease aren’t even aware of it. It’s rarely painful, especially in the early stages.

The main cause of periodontal disease is the accumulation of plaque above and below the gumline. Plaque is the sticky film of food and bacteria that forms constantly on your teeth.  Though it is hard to see plaque, through our use of microscopes, we are able to see the “bugs” that invade our bodies through the gum pockets.

You must completely remove plaque each day or it will build up and mineralizes to become tartar, also known as calculus. It takes a dentist or dental hygienist to remove tartar.  In other words, there’s no way for you to remove it while in front of the mirror. A toothbrush or floss won’t budge it. If tartar isn’t removed, it migrates to the root surfaces and causes more damaging effects.
