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. Many of the alternative methods claim to be drawn on ancient concepts, or they embrace natural ideas such as using essential oils.

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