Will Insurance Cover a Holistic Dentist?

Posted on May 31, 2018 by writeradmin.

I’ve been going through my dental insurance provider book with a fine-toothed comb. I can’t find a holistic dentist anywhere. Does this mean insurance doesn’t cover holistic dentists? If that’s the case, what’s the best type of dentist to go to in order to change my amalgam fillings to white fillings? Brianna Dear Brianna, The […]

Did Yolanda Hadid Need a Holistic Dentist to Get Well?

Posted on September 9, 2017 by smiles4u.

I’m a huge fan of the Real Housewives series and I’ve been following along with story of Yolanda Hadid. She was on social media last month saying she had visited a holistic dentist in order to have all her mercury fillings removed. She has also had all her crowns removed as well as silicone breast […]

Is there such a thing as holistic orthodontics?

Posted on June 22, 2017 by smiles4u.

Our son needs braces, and I’m concerned about his allergy to nickel. At our consultation with the orthodontist, I asked about the possibility of Invisalign, but we were told it’s not appropriate for his situation and they mentioned something about ceramic braces. I really don’t want to deal with any metal-type braces so I am […]

Do I really need to fly overseas to see a holistic dentist?

Posted on December 12, 2016 by smiles4u.

I’m not sure if I should see a holistic dentist here or go visit my family in Taiwan. I’m 19 and have not had a checkup for many years, but I have one tooth is hurting a lot. I talked to my aunt about it and she says to come stay with her in Taiwan […]

“Holistic” dentist… serious or a scam?

Posted on July 25, 2016 by smiles4u.

I’m wondering if holistic dentists are legit. I was considering seeing one because I’m more into natural options and treating my whole body, not just symptoms, but I read somewhere that there’s no such thing as a legit holistic dentist. The article put it on par with naturopathic doctors, and how many states don’t even […]

Will a Holistic Dentist Remove a File from my Tooth?

Posted on March 28, 2016 by smiles4u.

About six months ago, I went in to have a filling done and after I was already in the chair, the dentist changed his mind. He said a filling wouldn’t be enough and that the tooth needed to be crowned.  I went along with it and let him do the crown, but my tooth hurt […]

Can a holistic dentist help me deal with my allergies?

Posted on January 24, 2016 by smiles4u.

I have been fighting eczema and a host of other issues for many years. I’ve got chronic fatigue, joint pain… you name it. My doctors basically dismissed me and told me it was all in my head. They said if I just got more rest, ate better, and exercised, I would feel better. When that […]

Is there a home remedy for dry socket?

Posted on May 27, 2015 by smiles4u.

I had a tooth pulled unexpectedly yesterday and today I am in so much pain. The throbbing in my jaw is almost more than I can bear. I think I may have a dry socket, but I want to treat it with a natural remedy at home and I read about clove oil. Will that […]

My breath stinks… can a holistic dentist help?

Posted on February 10, 2015 by smiles4u.

I’m very frustrated and, honestly, a little embarrassed. I generally take good care of my teeth, but the other day my boyfriend said that I had bad breath. I was mortified. He said it’s been that way for a few months and didn’t know how to tell me. I went into my office for a […]

Are mercury fillings the cause of my migraines?

Posted on January 8, 2015 by smiles4u.

I have had debilitating migraines for many years that literally leave me “in the dark” at least two to three times a week. My doctor can’t seem to pinpoint any certain cause for them, so the only way I can deal with the headaches is to take strong pain meds and hibernate in a dark […]
