In our quest for a healthier and natural lifestyle, we tend to forget the importance of oral health. The mouth, after all, is the window to the rest of your body. Dental care goes beyond fixing cavities and straightening teeth: the overall well being of your oral health can profoundly impact your overall health.

I’ve always lived a more “crunchier” lifestyle, particularly after having kids - cloth diapering, making home made organic baby food when possible, breastfeeding, and maintaining an overall conscientiousness of what I put into my mind and body. I meditate twice daily and would love to become a yoga instructor one day. The mind-body connection is powerful and real.

Professionally, I’ve harnessed my love for solving puzzles into a curiosity for figuring out why a person has dental disease, and not just merely finding a way to treat it. In the fast-paced world of insurance-driven corporate and private practice dentistry where I began my career, this kind of curiosity was always out of place. We were pushed to “Drill, fill, bill, and get the patient out of the chair.” Many patients I encountered had learned to accept and expect the same standard, and resented my approach: “I’m just here to get my teeth cleaned; you’re just a dentist, why do you care about my overall health? I’ll just do what my insurance covers because that’s all I really need. My teeth are all gonna fall out anyway.” I grew tired of perpetuating this cycle of disease and hopelessness I saw on a daily basis.
