Dr. Michael Katz practices holistic, mercury free and mercury safe dentistry and his purpose is to share information about dental wellness with his patients so that they may make educated decisions about their oral health.
Holistic dentistry is a philosophy that recognizes that the teeth and associated structures are a part of the whole body. Because of this important relationship we offer a wide range of healthy treatment options. Because of his advanced training and emphasis on total health, Dr. Katz takes a unique Whole Body approach to oral health care; combining sound dental science and technical experience with a deep concern for his patients' physical and emotional well-being and comfort.
As your Oral Health Doctor, Dr. Katz is aware that mercury vapor and dental infections can have a negative impact on overall health. Because of this concern, we focus on patient education and strive to remove mercury amalgam (silver) fillings in a safe way. To accomplish this, he utilizes removal protocols based on recommendations of a number of prominent holistic dental organizations.
His Whole Body, healthy dental treatment philosophy stresses the use of safe biocompatible dental materials and non-invasive treatment whenever possible. He also works closely with highly qualified health professionals to assist him in his efforts to return the patient to optimal oral and overall health. His Holistic approach to dental treatment means that he treats the teeth, jaw, and related oral structures, with specific regard to how that treatment will affect the entire body.
Dr. Katz is a strong advocate of continuing education because it allows him to give you and your family the most modern, state-of-the-art dental care. Each year he takes many hours of continuing education courses and he has advanced training in many areas of biological, cosmetic and traditional dentistry. |
