Holistic Children’s Dental Health: Natural Cavity Prevention & Oral Care Tips
February is Children’s Dental Health Month—a perfect time to embrace holistic and biological dentistry for your child’s oral wellness. Swap fluoride for nano-hydroxyapatite to naturally strengthen enamel, encourage proper brushing and flossing habits, and promote nasal breathing for healthy jaw development.

Make brushing fun with engaging routines while double-checking their technique. Start these natural dental care habits early to support strong, cavity-free smiles for life!

The Importance of Daily Toothbrushing in Hospital Settings
At our holistic dental practice, we emphasize the profound connection between oral health and overall well-being. Recent research published in JAMA Internal Medicine highlights how daily toothbrushing can significantly reduce hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ICU mortality, particularly in patients on mechanical ventilation.
