As with many journeys, with the recent completion of the HealThy Mouth World Summit, we find all the solutions often lead to even more questions.
And so it is with oral health.
We have always been firm believers in getting help from a dental professional who has been trained in toxin free, whole body dentistry. Truly, those of you who have had the pleasure of working with a quality dental professional know how precious an asset they can be!
The well trained dental professional can be a wonderful, trusted ally to assist us along our path to greater oral health.
Unless you were raised with a perfect diet as a child and have been blessed with stunning oral health, most of us are doing some form of ‘catch up’ when it comes to our dental health. A dentist who is functioning within the paradigm of the role that oral health plays in whole body wellness is a tremendous professional to have on your wellness team while we strive for optimal oral health.
We have compiled this list of resources to help you to identify someone who has been trained in toxin free protocols and techniques.
We also strongly urge you to question whatever professional you find, even if they are from the top of this list, to make sure that they meet your personal criteria for a professional assistant to help guide you and your family to greater oral health.
Here’s the first link to the database of dentists that are registered with the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.
When using this search tool, the designations of FIAOMT or AIAOMT are ‘higher’ rankings within the organization. All these dental professionals are at least aware of the potentially toxic impact of many dental materials. On this search function, you can also choose various options on the right side to help narrow your search. For example, if you want a dentist who uses ozone in their practice, you can select the criteria “ozone/oxygen” to help sort the dentists in this database. Here’s a link to the IAOMT ‘find a practitioner’ page.
If you are looking for a dentist who has been trained by Dr. Hal Huggins, then reach out to the Huggins Alliance to find a dentist within this excellent organization.
The Huggins Alliance does not publicize its list of members trained by Dr. Huggins. To find out more from Huggins Applied Healing, either call toll free 866-948-4638 or fill out this form and they will contact you with dental professionals near you.
The International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine is an interesting collection of not only dental professionals but also chiropractors, medical doctors and naturopathic doctors as well. The IABDM is committed to integrating body, mind, spirit and mouth in caring for the whole person.
To find a dentist who has been trained to use ozone in their practice, Dr. Julian Holmes’ site has a search feature. Not the most friendly search feature, but you’ll find plenty of dentists listed here who use ozone in their practice. Here’s the link to search for a dentist who uses ozone in their practice.
The Holistic Dental Association offers a search feature. Please always do your own research into the dental professional you choose from these lists. Just because a dentist has their practice listed in a holistic dental database doesn’t necessarily mean they will be properly trained in nontoxic protocols or practice dentistry from the perspective of the whole being. Here’s a link to the Holistic Dental Association.
Ultimately, it is each person’s responsibility to interview and question any dental/medical professional prior to consenting to any work in or on their body.
So, we invite you to download our FREE Guide to Safe Dentistry, which explains what questions to ask to find a dental team who will work with you on your journey to greater oral health.
The questions in this e-book will help you determine whether 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.
Also, for more great information to help you along your path to greater oral health, feel free to check out our HealThy Mouth World Summit Upgrade package.
If you know of a reputable organization that offers a ‘find a dentist’ search feature to help find dentists who would fit into the theme of this resource here, please contact us and we will review the database and consider including it in this online resource.
To your health!
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.
Oh dear! Who did you see as a dentist? If I may ask. I am looking right now for a Dentist that applies Hal Huggins method. I need to remove 2 root canals!
$40,000! Oh my! That is quite a treatment plan. I am the on-staff nutritionist at a Biologic Dental Office on the East Coast. Unless you needed full mouth rehab, no Dental treatment plan should be anywhere near that high.
(and I agree, Dentists should have a soul)
=0)
I agree…..I was one of Hal Huggins original patients (It’s All in your Head has my story) and when I went to the dentists who took over his practice they were NOTHING like Hal Huggins. They were cold and indifferent and I left and haven’t been to a dentist in 20 years
Aloha Dr Lynn,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Doc. I’m really sorry to hear that the people who picked up the baton from him didn’t carry forward his heart. Tragic to get the tech right without the compassion really.
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.

I really appreciate your effort towards this field which provides all useful information regarding the topic…Great job.
This means before finding a dentist we need to verify all these. If one will have all these qualities then only we should choose him for our treatment. Thanks for sharing these helpful suggestions.Dentist in Miami
Thank you so much for this kind information. i really like this tips…
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.

Thanks for stopping by Dr Ashley!
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! 🙂
Thank you and Aloha!
I am glad and impressed to see others with a high caliber of integrity. Finding the correct person to assist us in our health is a challenge for many of us. This article makes it easier. I thank you for putting it out there.
The best we can do now is trust that everyone will follow their intuition to find this page.
Thanks for stopping by and offering your supportive words!
I appreciate your efforts for writing this helpful article.
Thanks!
Great blog! Thanks for sharing all this information.
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!
Hi I would like to know if there is one who meets all or most of the OraWellness criteria also. I live in Los Angeles California area…
Any help would be greatly appreciated….
