aspect in developing strong, healthy teeth and enamel in children to prevent tooth decay. It is often thought that dairy is the main source for calcium, however, there are many other foods such as broccoli, almonds and bok choy that are great sup- plements for calcium in the diet. In addition, crunchy fruits and vegetables have high fiber content that helps increase salivary flow. For example, celery, carrots and apples can help clean teeth naturally between meals. Early habits of eating healthy, whole foods can help children grow strong teeth to prevent decay their entire life.

reventative orthopedic orthodontics is one of my greatest passions. I love
working with children whose jaw de- velopment is tending toward crowding and mal-occlusion and helping them to naturally correct that growth trend. Watching the body respond to gentle forces, growing and developing in positive directions instead of ones that would end up requiring extractions or other types of jaw surgery, is one of the best parts of being a holistic dentist. We use very gentle, unobtrusive ALF appli- ances (Advanced Lightwire Function- als) that work with the body’s natural growth forces to encourage jaw devel- opment and occlusion improvements.
