Choose Healthier Options for the New Year - Visit a Holistic Dentist

It's time to set those 2014 New Year's Resolutions! Unfortunately for most of us, our resolutions to change and enhance our lives are abandoned within just three months! This year, prepare a list of resolutions you can stick with, such as taking steps to seek out a healthier mouth and overall well-being.  

Improve Your Dating Life with a Smile Makeover

What is the first thing you notice about someone you're meeting for the first time? Physical features make an enormous first impression, especially in the dating arena. In fact, 48 percent of people surveyed said that a smile is the feature they remember most about meeting a new person. Teeth can make or break your social life!

What Your Oral Health Says About Your Heart Health

There is growing evidence of a significant link between oral health and heart health. In fact, some doctors now think that gum disease, tooth decay, and missing teeth are as symptomatic of potential or impending heart disease as is high cholesterol. So don't be surprised if your cardiologist grills you about your last dental check-up.

And vice versa. Your dentist may want to discuss your heart health before performing a dental procedure on you. Some dentists will delay dental work – even a simple cleaning – if you are experiencing significant heart issues or have just undergone a heart procedure.

4 Things That Set Holistic Dentists Apart from a Regular Dental Practice

Mainstream medicine can make you feel like a robot that's been returned to the factory for repairs. Holistic dentists change that. Instead of mechanically treating symptoms, a holistic dentist looks at the effect your teeth have on your whole body's health – and the effect your body's health has on your teeth.

Holistic dentists look beyond treating the mouth. They know that mercury fillings and dental x-rays can cause serious health problems in the long run. Holistic dentists look at your oral health in relation to your other health issues and use that knowledge of your whole body to solve your problem.
