Like every type of health care, there are contemporary western methods as well as natural or "alternative" ideas, and that pertains to dentistry as well. While many people ascribe solely to contemporary, conventional methods of dentistry, others are interested in exploring alternative dental ideas.

I hope you like what you see and that we both learn something along the way!
