Wholeistic Dentistry is a close-up look at integrating the best of conventional dentistry and holistic dentistry in the United States. Based on her experience as a dental hygienist in a holistic office, Bette Jo Arnett relates how holistic practitioners view the mouth as a reflection of the inner health of the patient and treat underlying causes rather than solely treating symptoms. This book discusses ways for patients to encourage conventional dentists to integrate holistic concepts into their practices. It is a useful reference for any person seeking more balance in their dental care.
