Holistic Family Dentistry
Holistic family dentistry at NIHA has been a holistic, mercury-free dental practice in Washington, D.C., for over 30 years.
Our caring holistic dentists are pioneers in the field of biological and holistic dental practices, and recognized long ago the toxicity of mercury. The dentists do not use mercury amalgam fillings and may not support some root canal procedures as they believe the materials used may be toxic or harm you.
Holistic family dentists understand the connection between good oral health in relationship to your overall health and wellness. This is reflected in how they practice dentistry. We use biocompatible dental materials that do not harm your health and have a specialized water purification system to protect you, the dentist and the environment. We encourage prevention of cavities and periodontal disease with good oral care, a healthy diet and regular check ups.
As a family dental practice, we treat health-seeking people of all ages: toddlers, children, adults, and special needs patients for all dental issues.

Holistic Dentistry Interview from Holistic Oral Health Summit
I was recently honored to have been selected to be interviewed by the Holistic Oral Health Summit 2015. The interviews were taken from leading edge medical, dental and other health practitioners.

Even with the best of intentions some dental patients are still getting bit-by-bit treatment instead of integrated treatment.
