I wrote before about the importance of a daily oral healthcare routine. We are now going to explore more advanced techniques to take care of your oral health.

These techniques require you to work with a holistic dentist who implores the highest standards in there practice. In my practice at Smile Ranch we take great pride in being truly holistic practitioners.

What does it mean to be holistic? Using nontoxic substances, no fluoride, no drills, proper procedures and holistically minded professionals. We have to make sure your working with a very experienced and holistic professional or some of these techniques can be harmful to the body.

Mercury Removal
Mercury is a toxic metal that can absolutely wreak havoc on the body. It is one of the most toxic substances on the planet — and we use it in the mouth.

If you have mercury fillings in your mouth you need to get them removed. Mercury vaporizes in your mouth and can start a whole host of terrible symptoms.


Drill Free Laser Techniques
The most feared element in dentistry is that nasty drill. I would hate going to the dentist knowing that the drill was going to penetrate my mouth and cause a lot of pain.

Luckily, we now have the option to use a cold laser that won’t cause pain when extracting a decayed part of a tooth. I had this procedure done and I was completely in shock — no flinching or squirming around in the chair while my decayed tooth was being extracted.

Try to find a drill-free dentist in your area that is an expert at using lasers.

Biological dentistry like what we practice at Smile Ranch is the belief that we need to preserve the living bone structure of the mouth.
