Holistic Dental Care: The Complete Guide to Healthy Teeth and Gums Paperback – Illustrated, October 8, 2013

Everyone should read this book on proper dental care! It's simple and informative.

One of the best books about Holistic Care I have ever read!Excellent resource for information and techniques to help heal and/ or maintain good oral and overall health.As Holistic Principles teach us, the body is a whole, you can’t separate one part to the other. This book helps us realize that our oral health is closely related to the rest of our body.Highly recommended!

Loved it! A very informative book. I plan on implementing these techniques on my dental journey. I think it will lead to better health overall.

I love this book. I didnt know alot of this in order to take charge of my oral health.. Anything wrong in your mouth?, This is a must read!!

I take everything with a grain of salt. Chapter 8 nicely lays out "8 steps" you can do for natural tooth care every day. I like "Chapter Nine: Beneficial Botanicals"; it outlines what herbs may be the best for various oral issues. "Chapter 10: More Tooth Tips" is equally helpful and continues to point out helpful herbs. The most helpful advice I've taken from the book (so far) is to use plain baking soda for brushing teeth, gums, tongue, (and I decided to brush my cheeks too), because it neutralizes acidity in your mouth, creating an environment that is not conducive to the bacteria/plague that rot your teeth and can ruin your health. My teeth feel way, way, way cleaner, my breath is fresher, and my whole mouth stays cleaner throughout the night and well into the day - when I use baking soda as opposed to normal toothpaste on my teeth, tongue, gums, and cheeks. I truly appreciate info on toothpaste ingredients in Chapter 3; I will never use toothpaste again - because certain ingredients prevent re-mineralization. The beginning chapters have some good information on teeth in good health and poor health, children, selecting a dentist, etc. but I am more focused on what I can do to minimize cavities and gum disease.I have a few complains which, sadly knock my rating down to 4 stars: The author advocates gargling with salt water, but doesn't tell you not to use sea salt, until Chapter 10, and I need to brush up on my chemistry to fully understand her explanation. On page 86 "Iodine Mouth Gargle" is suggested, but the author does not include a warning about the ill health effects of consuming too much iodine - which a few people WILL do! Page 87 states "the Keyes technique" "swishing undiluted apple cider vinegar around in the mouth" - WTH?! Do not try that - it will burn your mucus membranes - I cannot even believe this is in the book! :(Overall though, I am quite pleased with my purchase and I have found Artemis's book to be helpful and insightful.I recommend it to others, but if I gift it to anyone who may be naive about science - I will have to write in caution notes next to "Iodine Mouth Gargle" and "Keyes technique"!

I am so thankful and happy that I found this book. I devoured this book as soon as it arrived staying up very late to read as much as possible. It was fascinating! My mom suffers from so many dental issues despite taking such good care of her teeth her entire life. This is in part what prompted me to buy this book. This book explains how everything we are taught is contradictory to good oral hygiene. It blew my mind. I have now been tending to my teeth in a whole new way and can’t believe the difference in such a short amount of time. My mouth feels so extra clean and already my teeth are brighter/whiter. Also, my teeth were always sensitive but right before this book arrived they were starting to hurt to brush which was new. I guess I got this at the perfect time because my teeth have not hurt or been sensitive. It’s been a week maybe less since I started this. My mom noticed a huge difference from the very first time. She brushed and did the routine laid out in this book and she said the next day her mouth felt better than ever. She usually wakes up with a bad taste in her whole mouth but said she work up feeling so clean and fresh before even brushing. Everyone needs to read this and tell everyone they know about it.

This book is an easy read, and it’s full of valuable information. I bought others to give away.

Before I discovered this book, I had searched for a natural and holistic products that would help my dental health (gums and teeth) naturally as well as easy to find products. This book is worth every penny that I spent on it!In this book, there are 19 totally useful helpful chapters in this book, and while I found them all very helpful for my dental health, these are the sections in the chapters that I found the MOST HELPFUL and worked right away to restore my dental health:Below are my favorite chapters in this book:+ Chapter 2 - Your Teeth Are Alive - Gums Turtlenecks for the Teeth---This explains how swollen gums, gum disease can be treated and gums restored to pinkness and health! This+ Chapter 8 - This has given great helps and what tools are needed to care for the gums (all with easy to use products).+ More on Chapter 8 - This has Self Dentistry in 8 steps for using at home. This is the chapter I use the most!+ Chapter 3 - The Truth About Toothpastes, Toothbrushes, and Mouthwashes. This helped me greatly as I never knew that was supposed to lightly apply a toothbrush again my teeth and gums! Also had not idea that commercial toothpastes are so harmful!The same with many commercial mouthwashes!This is a MUST HAVE BOOK on dental health in my opinion. And what I like the best is that I can follow the helpful guidelines at home. Have been doing so and they really work to help me with my dental health!
