There is an old saying: “Old wolves eat their own teeth.” It reminds us that wear, damage, and loss are not sudden. They are the result of long, quiet processes unfolding over years. In dentistry, most invasive treatments are not caused by accidents. They emerge from neglected habits, undetected changes, chronic inflammation, erosion, grinding, and delayed care. Preventive dentistry exists to interrupt those processes early — before they become irreversible. Today, prevention

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” — Benjamin Franklin In dentistry, small decisions often carry long consequences. Few choices illustrate this more  clearly than how a tooth is restored once decay or structural damage is present. While fillings  have long been the default solution, advances in restorative design and materials have expanded  the conversation. Porcelain inlays and onlays offer a different way of thinking about repair —  one centered on preserv

"Humankind has not woven the web of life; we are but one thread. Whatever happens to the web, happens to the weaver.” — Chief Seattle For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine has viewed the human body as an interconnected landscape — one in which organs, nerves, circulation, emotions, and regulatory systems communicate along defined pathways. Within this framework lies one of the most intriguing tools now entering modern holistic dentistry: the Meridian Tooth Cha

Not Just Straight Teeth For many people, Invisalign begins as a cosmetic idea. Clear aligners instead of metal braces. Straight teeth without wires. Something discreet, removable, and visually subtle. What happens next is rarely subtle at all. Over years of orthodontic care, Dr. Karina Zaygermakher watched Invisalign do far more than straighten teeth. She watched it change how people sleep, breathe, speak, eat, carry themselves, and move through the world. She watched it re

“The mind creates thoughts the way the salivary glands secrete saliva.” — 14th Dalai Lama An Overlooked Diagnostic Tool More than a century ago, the pioneering physician Charles Mayo, MD, suggested that the future of medicine—and disease prevention—would ultimately lie in the hands of the dental profession. His idea was radical for its time, and for many decades it remained largely unrealized. Historically, dentistry focused almost exclusively on the teeth and gums, while me

“The good, therefore, is that in which measure is found; the bad is the unlimited.” — Aristotle Few treatments reflect this idea as clearly as ozone therapy. Ozone — a highly reactive form of oxygen — offers remarkable therapeutic potential when used with thoughtful calibration. In the right concentration, it helps eliminate harmful microbes, encourages natural healing, and restores balance within the oral environment and many other internal and external tissues of the human

“Through years of experience, I’ve observed how anxiety keeps so many people from caring for their teeth. By a seemingly chance encounter, I discovered a tool that changed even my own perspective on the matter. One day, while attending the International Meeting of Ozone Therapists, in the midst of a crowded conference, Dr. Shallenberger generously shared his unique knowledge about one therapeutic approach I hadn't encountered in person before — IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedbac

A restful night’s sleep is one of the most natural ways our body heals, re-balances, and prepares for a new day. Yet for many people, quiet sleep is interrupted by snoring or moments when breathing pauses briefly during the night. What might seem like a simple habit or inconvenience can often be a sign of something deeper: a change in how the soft tissues at the back of the mouth move when we rest. We understand that good sleep affects every part of your wellbeing from focus

There is a certain poetry in light. It illuminates, it restores, it softens edges. In modern dentistry light has found another role: it heals. Laser dentistry is not just a technique, it is a different language in dental care. A way of working with precision so fine it feels effortless, with a gentleness that leaves space for the body to recover on its own. As Dr. Rossinski often says, “Laser is not about What, it’s about How.” Every pulse of laser light carries a focused wav

Changing the Way We Think About Dentistry When most people think of dentistry, they picture routine cleanings or fixing problems when something goes wrong. But your mouth is much more than teeth to be maintained — it’s the gateway to your whole body. Every nerve, vessel, and  breath flows through this space, influencing digestion, sleep, heart health, and even mood.  That’s why holistic dentistry  isn’t just about repairing what’s broken. It’s about  honoring the mouth as a v
