Helpful resources to find a qualified dentist to assist you


We have always been firm believers in dental professionals who have been trained in toxin-free, whole-body dentistry. 

If you’ve had the pleasure of working with a quality dental professional, you know how precious of an asset they can be!

The right dentist can be a wonderful, trusted ally to assist us along our path to greater oral health. Incidentally, feel free to check out our article that explores the 7 Key Components of a ‘Dream Dentist’.

A dentist who is mindful of the mouth/body connection for supporting overall health is a tremendous professional to have on our wellness team.

We have compiled this list of resources to help you find a dental team who has been trained in toxin-free protocols and techniques.

The goal is to:

  1. Find a list of potential dentists in your area.
  2. Call each dental office on the list to interview them over the phone and see who sounds like they would be the best fit for you.


But first, remember that you’re in control here

You are the MVP (most valuable person) on your journey to greater oral health.

We know it can be intimidating to be ‘in the chair’. We want to empower you with the reminder that ultimately, you get to decide whether to accept or decline any recommended treatment or procedure.

Here’s a resource on how to be your own oral (and whole body) health advocate. Also, here’s a resource that describes how to use essential oils to reduce dental appointment anxiety and pain.

As you begin your search, we strongly urge you to interview any dental professional you find (even if they’re at the top of the search results in the links below).

This will help ensure that they meet your personal criteria for a professional assistant who can help guide you and your family to greater oral health.

We’ll touch on this more below. For now, let’s dive into the resources that can help you find some dental team options in your area.


International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology

The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1984.

This global network of dentists, health professionals, and scientists is dedicated to protecting public health and the environment. They also research the biocompatibility (and safety) of dental products.

Here’s a link to their “Find a Practitioner” page where we can search for dentists who are registered with the IAOMT.

Within this search tool, the designations of FIAOMT or AIAOMT are ‘higher’ rankings in the organization.  All of these dental professionals are at least aware of the potentially toxic impact of many dental materials. 

The IAOMT’s website also has advanced searching options to help narrow your results. 

For example, if you want to find a dentist who uses ozone in their practice, you can:

  • Click the “Narrow Your Search (zip code, specialty, etc)” button
  • Enter your zip / postal code into the appropriate field
  • Select “Distance Search” and the amount of miles you’d be willing to travel
  • In the “Services Provided” section, select “ozone/oxygen”
  • Click the “Search” button

This helps to sort through the dentists in the database.


Huggins Applied Healing

If you are looking for a dentist who has been trained by Dr. Hal Huggins, then reach out to the Huggins Alliance.

Here’s an interview we did with Dr. Huggins, in case you’d like to check it out.

The Huggins Alliance does not publicize its list of members who were trained by Dr. Huggins. 

For more information on Huggins Applied Healing, you can call or email them using the contact information at the top of their website.

Another option is that you can fill out this form and they will send you a list of dental professionals in your area.


International Academy of Biological Dentistry & Medicine

The International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM) is an interesting collective of dental professionals, chiropractors, medical doctors, and naturopathic doctors. 

The IABDM is committed to integrating body, mind, spirit, and mouth to care for the whole person.

Here’s a link to the IABDM’s “Find a Practitioner” page.


List of dentists who use ozone

Dr. Julian Holmes’ site has a search feature to help folks find a dentist who uses ozone in their practice.

It’s not the most user-friendly search feature, but in this link, you’ll find plenty of dentists who use ozone.  You can also find dentists who use ozone via the IAOMT find a practitioner link above and selecting ‘oxygen/ozone’ in the search options.


Holistic Dental Association

In 1978, a group of dentists formed the Holistic Dental Association.

This organization provides continuing education for dentists. It also shares information with the general public to help empower patients on their journeys to greater oral health.

Here’s a link to the Holistic Dental Association’s “Find a Holistic Dentist” feature.


Special shout-out for networking

If you know a really awesome functional medicine practitioner, chiropractor, holistic nutritionist, ayurvedic doctor, homeopath, etc., you can always ask them if they know any dentists that they approve of in your area.

You can also research online reviews for the different holistic practitioners, dentists, and organizations that you encounter. That way, you can see what kinds of experiences other folks have had with them.


Remember to interview any dental team you’re considering

Again, for any dental professional you’re considering, please always do your own research.

Just because a dentist has their practice listed in a holistic dental database doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re awesome to work with personality-wise, that they’re properly trained in nontoxic protocols, or that they practice dentistry from the perspective of the whole being.

Ultimately, each person is responsible for interviewing and questioning any dental/medical professional prior to consenting to any work in or on their body.


More tools to help with your search

We invite you to download our FREE Guide to Safe Dentistry, which explains what interview questions to ask to find a great dental team.

The questions in this eBook will help you determine whether or not the dental team you’re considering has the training and mindset to assist you and your family on your path to greater oral (and whole-body) health.

You might also find it helpful to check out our blog entry, “How to find awesome emergency dental help while traveling”. In it, we explain the step-by-step process that we used to find a great dental team when we had a dental issue while we were away from home.


Note on dental insurance coverage

For full disclosure, as you’re considering your dentist options, it’s also wise to ask about their billing process and to reach out to your dental insurance provider to check on your plan’s coverage.

Insurance plans often consider non-conventional medical practitioners (including dentists) to be “out of network” providers.

So, often times these dentists and other health practitioners will charge the patient the full fee for a service upfront, and then their office files the insurance paperwork. Then the patient’s insurance company sends the patient a check for whatever percentage their plan will cover.

This may not always be the case, and sometimes a holistic health practitioner might have additional and/or staggered payment options.

However, it’s best to check with both your insurance company and the dental office. That way, you can plan your budget accordingly.

You might also find it helpful to read our blog entry, “5 ways to save money at the dental office“.


Wrapping up…

We hope you found this article helpful. If you know a reputable organization that offers a search feature to help find dentists who would fit into the theme of this article, please contact us so we can review the database and consider including it in this online resource.

Finally, for even more information to help you along your path to greater oral health, check out the HealThy Mouth World Summit, our digital download product that’s a collection of 21 interviews with health experts.

To your health!

    Thank you so much for all the information you’ve put together to help others. I’d just like to throw out a word of caution here for anyone looking for a practitioner. The above links/websites (IABDM, HDA, etc.) should not be seen as recommendations. I feel that it doesn’t take that much for a dentist to add their name to these lists. We’ve been to several of them and know others who have been to them and we’ve had some terrible results with a couple. So the lists of practitioners can be a starting point but please don’t assume that these dentists are good just because they’re on these sites.

    Hi,
    I am not from US, I live outside and came to your website that referred by my friend, I have crown and root canal since 2008, I got many issues but I was not aware that the causes are from root canal, I got an issue with my heart’s valve and also enlargement of the right side. recently I suffered from an other tooth and a doctor filled it with amalgam. my health issues increased with breath difficulties and infections in my nose.
    a friend advised me to visit your website to read more about this subject, really I learned a lot and connected these issues with what in my mouth which is disaster for my health.
    what advise can you give me and what I should do with:
    – Tooth filled with amalgam
    – Root canal removed with crown for 12 years.

      Aloha Zakaria,

      Thank you for reaching out to us.

      We’re sorry to hear about your health challenges!

      We here at OraWellness aren’t medical or dental professionals, so we can’t treat, diagnose, advise, etc. Instead, what we can do is share information with you to help you become self-empowered on your journey. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s see what information we can share to help. 🙂

      We encourage you to work with a competent dental professional who can assess your current oral health situation and suggest a treatment plan that serves your healing path.

    Can anyone recommend a dream dentist, who meets all or most of the OraWellness criteria, anywhere within 6 hours drive from Pittsburgh, PA? Cleveland area? West Virginia? Near DC?

    I need a large metal filling replaced, and hoping not to lose the tooth, so I’d like to find a biological, holistic dentist, who uses lasers instead of drilling, magnification, and hopefully follows the Huggins Protocol or something similar.

      Aloha Emilie,

      Thank you for reaching out to us. We’re honored to assist you along your path.

      Given the criteria you share here, I’d suggest you check out either Dr Blanche Grube in Scranton, PA or Dr Mark Breiner in CT. I realize CT is a bit further, but if we lived in the area, we would allow Dr Breiner to work in our mouths.

      I hope this helps!

    Thank you for this resource. I really like how you have categorized them because every patient has specific needs. I’m a dentist in the Houston area and I’m constantly educating my patients on the options they have. I would also like to share a page on my blog that can contribute to oral health awareness. It’s better to be aware. Find the right local dentist for you. Over 51% of adults ages 20 and over have gingivitis, and most of those people have no idea.

      We are so glad to hear that more and more dentists are in the educational/empowerment role! Truly, each of us is the only one that can navigate positive change in our own oral health.

      We agree that the extreme prevalence of gum disease and utter lack of awareness of it causes all sorts of trouble for so many… Together we can help others who are looking for information and solutions to their oral health challenges…

      Keep on the course! 🙂

    About 50 percent of dentists in the US are mercury-free. However, only an estimated 10 percent of those fully understand the health risks associated with dental amalgam. You’re encouraged to ask questions of your dentist prior to enlisting his services, to make sure the office is truly adhering to holistic dental practices.

    Once one finds a Biologic dentist, it is critical to interview he/she with many questions. I went to two Dentists that were supposedly trained by Dr. Hal Huggins and each caused damage and did not care about true healing.
    I wish I could find a Dentist that has a soul. I don’t mind paying the 40 thousand dollars that most have asked; but, for God’s sake, I expect to have my teeth functional.
    I hope that the science of regrowing teeth is fast approaching.

OraWellness is awesome. The information they share is not only well researched and unbiased it has been extremely helpful to me.

This is an invaluable service you provide. Thank you.

Glenn S from Victoria, Australia

On recent business trip with my daughter, I noticed we were both using OraWellness products for brushing.

I’ve been using your products for several years and have given them to all my children and friends who are having dental issues. I really have confidence in its ability to clean without the toxic ingredients of toothpaste.

I’m also so appreciative of the tooth saving information I’ve received from the OraWellness website. It has helped me to sort thru the often erroneous information about dental health that exists out there.

Lyn R from Utah

I have learned information from OraWellness that helps me stand up for what I believe in, and have been empowered by what you share to say no to fluoride in my life and at the dentist. They used to try to pressure me to do fluoride treatments; they no longer ask me anymore, as they know my stance.

Monica R from Tennessee

I used to have bleeding gums and sensitive teeth…

And now I’m elated to report shiny, white, plaque-free teeth using your natural HealThy Mouth Blend and simple Bass brush!

I appreciate your quality products and your company, particularly how you focus on educating about optimum oral care.

Nell A from Washington

Everyone that is interested in oral health should watch your videos, AND every dental professional should be required to watch them.

You did an OUTSTANDING job.
