Abstract:

There are numerous opportunities for holistic dentists, doctors and natural healers to integrate their services to provide a more whole body approach to dental disease. This lecture will introduce students to holistic dental concepts and terminology; alternatives to root canal, mercury and BPA-free fillings, holistic sleep medicine, acid-base buffering and nonsurgical approaches to periodontal disease. Dentists with these tools will have advanced referral and employment experience and be able to compete in the global marketplace. Salivary acidity is an under-utilized body measurement that can be used by doctors to treat both systemic and oral disease. Normal saliva has a PH of 7.2, but only in a more alkaline environment can teeth and bone remineralize. Increased alkalinity is an important resource in the naturopathic treatment of digestive, hypertension, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. ALKA-WHITE, created by Dr. Lewis Gross, is a natural mouthwash made from essential oils and spices. Published research supporting ALKA-WHITE will be presented at this lecture. Oral chelation from heavy metals and mercury, the patientâ??s ability to eliminate toxins, stimulating immune response to treat infections, and an integrative approach to sleep apnea, are exciting new opportunities for dentists.
