We provide and promote a wide range of treatments at our practice, including:
Tongue Diagnosis
Tongue diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an indispensable guide in differentiating syndromes. All the meridians of the viscera connect directly or indirectly with the tongue. more...
Mercury-Free
Mercury is the second most toxic element found on our planet. It is a known poison and has been used in the past to kill the cause of medical problems.
Beyond any doubt elemental mercury is released from dental amalgam fillings, the mercury does pass into the patients body where it lodges into the bodies tissues and even worse it passes into unborn children. We are convinced that this mercury aggrevates or causes health problems for those people with mercury fillings.
For this reason I have not placed any mercury fillings into a child, pregnant and nursing mothers since 1987 and have not place any at all since 1994.

Root Canal & Cavitation
All root cancel fillings have the potential to casue bad health. This is because, althought the nerve has been removed, bacteria still colonise in the minute tubules of a tooth. These bacteria produce toxins which enter the body causing potential harm. An area of residual infection which is left under the gum, usually following, but sometimes a long time after an extraction can cause problems. Symptoms can be coincided with the energetic links to the body as well as localised problems.

Energetic Links to body
On a more energy nediae level, using acupunture and meridians, we connect teeth to meridians and other body systems. This explains why problems with teeth may be caused by disease elsewhere in the body or a bad tooth may be affecting healing elsewhere in the body.
Fluoride
The use of fluoride in dentistry has grown in popularity since it was shown that fluoride strengthened the tooth enamel, the protective outer layer of the tooth. It is now found in most none metal dental fillings and in most dental care products, toothpastes, mouthwashes. Controversially and not supported by this practice is the desire by the dental and medical authorities to put fluoride into our drinking water supply as an aid to prevent dental decay. I am not convinced that fluoride in our water is safe click here for more information.

Bite Correction
The way your teeth meet, fit and function can have an effect on the surrounding face, head, neck, shoulders and back muscles. This in turn can lead to pains in these areas and in the postoral alignment.
