A comprehensive guide to natural, do-it-yourself oral care, Holistic Dental Care introduces simple dental procedures that anyone can carry out at home.
Featuring fifty-three colour photographs and illustrations, this book offers dental self-care strategies and practices that get to the root of problems in our mouths, helping to prevent problems from taking hold and gently restore dental health. Based on a "whole body approach" to oral care, Holistic Dental Care addresses the limitations of the traditional approach, which treats only the symptoms rather than the source of physical ailments.
Dental expert and author Nadine Artemis takes the reader on a journey through the ecology of the mouth, describing the physiology of the teeth and the causes of bacteria and tooth decay. Artemis reveals the truth about the artificial chemicals in many toothpastes and mouthwashes, and also discusses the harmful effects of mercury fillings and the much safer ceramic fillings available. Artemis covers topics such as healthy eating, oral care for children and the benefits of plant compounds and extracts for maintaining a healthy mouth. Artemis also introduces a comprehensive eight-step dental self-care protocol that offers an effective way to prevent tooth decay, disease, acidic saliva, plaque build-up, bleeding gums, inflammation and much more.
