What is holistic dentistry?

Holistic dentistry is dental care that positively impacts your entire well-being, rather than focusing only on your oral health. Your oral health is intricately linked to your overall health, and we strive to provide the high-quality, biocompatible treatments you need to improve your oral health as well as your overall well-being.

Is mercury bad for me?

Put simply, yes, mercury is bad for you. Research has indicated that mercury is more toxic than lead, arsenic or cadmium. Mercury can accumulate in the body over time from long-term, low-level exposure, such as from amalgam fillings. No amount of mercury exposure is considered harmless. To protect your health, we exclusively offer mercury-free restorations at our office, and Dr. Julia Gorelik also provides safe amalgam removal.

What is biocompatible dentistry?

Biocompatible dentistry focuses on using dental materials and products that have been proven to be non-toxic and safe for use in the human body. The materials used in your dental care affect your entire well-being, just as the foods you eat impact your health. To ensure your health, we use mercury-free restorations, BPA-free materials and products with a low allergenic risk.

What are the signs of periodontal disease?

Periodontal disease, or gum disease, can have a serious impact on your oral and overall health. You may suffer from periodontal disease if you notice the following symptoms:

  • Gums that bleed easily
  • Swollen, tender gums
  • Loose teeth
  • Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
  • A change in the way your teeth fit together or the spacing between teeth
  • Gums that appear redder than usual
  • Painful chewing
  • Receding gums or teeth that appear longer than usual
  • Pus around the teeth and gums

If you experience any of these symptoms, we encourage you to contact our office to schedule a visit with Dr. Gorelik. We are pleased to offer periodontal treatment to ensure that your smile stays in good health.
