Some folks discover biological dentistry because they’re healthy and want to stay that way. Choosing nontoxic, minimally invasive dental care that supports their whole body health and well-being is a part of that.
Others come to us only after having suffered for years from the effects of things like “silver” mercury amalgam fillings, lingering infection in root canal teeth, cavitations, or other dental sources of toxicity.

One of these is Dr. Simon Yu, author of Accidental Cure and AcciDental Blow Up in Medicine. (You can read our review of the latter book, his most recent, here.)
