Common questions
Is a holistic dentist a real dentist?
Yes — same dental school and licensing as any dentist. The terms describe an approach, not a separate license, so check a dentist's training and how they practice.
Do I have to replace my silver fillings?
Not for most people. The FDA considers existing amalgams safe for the general adult population, and removing sound fillings sacrifices healthy tooth. A trustworthy dentist won't pressure you.
Can dental care cure a health condition?
No. Gum disease is associated with heart disease and diabetes, but association isn't cause. Good oral care supports overall health — it doesn't cure systemic disease.
Are there membership plans if I'm uninsured?
Many Roseville offices offer in-house membership plans that discount cleanings and exams for uninsured families — worth asking about when you call.
What about “cavitations”?
A contested idea not well established in mainstream evidence. Surgery for it sold as a cure for a general-health problem is a red flag; get a second opinion first.
This page is educational and not medical advice. Associations between oral and general health are still being studied; dental care supports overall health but does not treat or cure systemic disease. Talk with a licensed dentist or physician about your situation.
