Here are some of the questions we hear most often – along with answers.

Questions About Our Office
Do you take insurance?
Do you offer any payment plans or other financing?
Do you treat children?
If we’re unable to see or treat your child for any reason, we can refer you to a holistic pediatric dentist who can serve their needs.
Do you HAVE to take x-rays?
After that, we take x-rays only when needed to provide your dental care. All of our x-rays are digital, which require far less radiation than conventional film x-rays. We can also provide you with a homeopathic to help counteract the radiation you are exposed to.
What can I expect at my first visit?
I have MCS. Is your office fragrance-free?
Questions About Holistic/Integrative Dentistry
What do you mean by “integrative” dentistry?
The other aspect is our marriage of modern clinical dentistry with traditional healing wisdom. All the advanced techniques and technologies we use are complemented by nutrition, herbal medicine, energy medicine, and other “alternative” practices as we care for the whole person. It’s a best-of-both-worlds approach, where evidence-based practices are selected according to each individual’s needs and goals.
Do you offer any payment plans or other financing?
Questions About Common Dental Problems
I’m experiencing a lot of jaw pain. What could be causing it?
What should I do for a toothache?
In the meantime, dabbing some clove oil or arnica around the tooth may bring some relief, as can a cold compress on your outer cheek, next to where the painful tooth is.
What’s the best replacement option for missing teeth?
Is it true that a dentist can treat my sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea isn’t something that should be ignored. It doesn’t get better on its own and can ultimately result in serious health problems such as hypertension, GERD, cognitive decline, stroke, fibromyalgia, and even death.
Questions About Mercury Amalgam & Biocompatibility
Does the material you use for tooth-colored fillings and sealants contain fluoride? BPA? Derivatives of BPA?
How can you tell if a certain material is biocompatible?
We can also test materials here in our office with applied kinesiology (AK), which is a fine, low-cost option for healthy patients with no history of sensitivities.
I want to get my amalgams replaced. How much does it cost?
If I have you remove my amalgam fillings, do you HAVE to replace them with something else?
Are root canals safe?
