Lots of interesting information on the body, diet connection to dental health.

[Andrea · Rating 4 out of 5]

Teeth health is such a mystery, the only advice we are told is to brush and floss, yet that is not enough for so many, especially depending on the toothpaste used. I really appreciate that this book contains so much information about holistic dentistry and how it differs from allopathic dentistry, and explains so much of the how and why. This book is a rich resource for remedies for teeth, and I think it is a great book for dentists, those interested in or practicing interactive/alternative medicine, and for anyone who wants to learn about how to be healthy and have healthy teeth.
