Holistic dentistry emphasizes approaches to dental care said to consider dental health in the context of the patient's entire physical as well as emotional or spiritual health in some cases. Although the holistic dental community is in its practices and approaches, common threads include strong opposition to the use of amalgam in materials in dental fillings, nonsurgical approaches to gum disease, and the belief that root canals may endanger systemic health of the patient through the spread of trapped dental bacteria to the body. Many dentists who use these terms also regard water fluoridation unfavorably.

Everything you wanted (and didn't want) to know about conventional dentistry. Dr. Garcia provides thorough & easy to understand information. She tells it like it is & provides healthy alternatives.
A quick read. Finished in a few hours as I didn't have to read word for word, only what applied to me. Definitely worth the price!

Fantastic book. Very clear. Covers all bases. Important for people who have any metal (amalgams, silver or 'gold' fillings etc) in their teeth and root canals. Important for parents who want to ensure the best medical care for their children. Dr Garcia gives all the fundamental information we should have, the questions we should ask our dentists, and many simple things we can do each day to keep our teeth and mouth healthy.
As Dr Garcia clearly explains in this very accessible book, your teeth connect to your body's blood supply, lymphatic system, bones and connective tissue. If your teeth have metal or are locked in chronic infections (root canals) and if your health is eroding without a clear explanation, look to your teeth.
A must for us all.
Get your health back, stay healthy, by re-framing 'dental' health as *medical* health.

This book has an intriguing title, longer life? and even more valuable content. The world of holistic dentistry is explained, step by step, along with its connections to overall health, hence the use of the word holistic. It's kind of an owner's manual for teeth. Many of the common situations which we face over time, root canals, the use of different materials to fill cavities, bridges, implants, cleaning teeth properly are covered, as well as the now popular use of oil pulling and other less well known ideas. Anyone interested in pursuing their dental health and wellness should read this book.

I like the way Dr. Garcia takes the whole body into account, and her use of the term "whole body health". Her statement that the mouth is the gateway to health really makes sense to me. I've seen firsthand how having root canals removed has greatly improved people's health. This is important reading.
