About Advanced Holistic Dentistry
Advanced Holistic Dentistry practices holistic and functional dentistry in Escondido, California, approaching dental care from a whole-body perspective. The practice evaluates how nutrition, muscles, bones, joints, soft tissues and teeth work together, and states that its aim is to preserve natural teeth with the most minimally invasive techniques available. Materials are individually researched and selected for biocompatibility and long-term result, and the practice reports working only with BPA-free and fluoride-free materials within a metal-free philosophy. Clinical work combines FOTONA laser dentistry with oxygen/ozone therapy, applied to early caries, periodontal and bone infection, and root canal disinfection. Treatment rooms carry medical-grade air filtration and ozonated water for contamination-free aerosols, and existing amalgam is removed under the SMART protocol with layered isolation and fume evacuation. Its clinicians are recorded with the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. The practice frames the mouth as one part of systemic health, treating bacterial control in the oral environment as oral-systemic work rather than local repair.

Common Questions
What precautions are taken when removing existing mercury amalgam fillings?
Amalgam removal follows the SMART protocol. The practice describes vinyl dam isolation separating the treatment field from the oral environment, a Dent Air Vac to evacuate toxic fumes, high-speed evacuation, oxygen nasal masks, room air filtration, ozonated distilled water for irrigation and cooling, and full patient draping covering the entire body. The practice states it has not placed a mercury amalgam filling since 1989.
Why does the practice replace amalgam with bonded tooth-coloured restorations?
The practice states that amalgam preparations remove more tooth structure than necessary, leaving the remaining structure weak and prone to cracking, and that silver fillings are not bonded or fused to the tooth, leaving a gap bacteria can enter.
What is ozone therapy used for in this office?
Oxygen/ozone therapy is offered across aspects of dentistry, including caries treatment with minimal to no drilling; the practice states that cavities caught early enough are encouraged to remineralise. It is also applied to periodontal disease and chronic gum and bone infection, and to sterilising all aspects of a root canal. The practice describes it as antimicrobial, non-allergenic and without side effects.
What happens during a hygiene visit here, and is fluoride used?
The practice states its hygienists never use fluoride and use biocompatible materials during all procedures. A cleaning begins with an ultrasonic unit carrying ozone water, which vibrates away calculus while the water washes off plaque and bacteria; hand instruments follow to leave the surfaces smooth. The polishing paste is dye-free, fluoride-free, gluten-free and sweetened with xylitol.
How does the practice decide which materials go into a restoration?
Material quality is described as central to the approach. Each material is carefully researched and selected to confirm biocompatibility and to achieve a natural-looking, long-lasting result, and the practice cites advanced training and continuing education as the basis for restorations intended to look, feel and function as natural teeth do.
What does the whole-body approach actually change about care?
The practice works from a biology-based position: the mouth and the bacteria it collects are described as directly related to the health of the body and internal organs, so keeping oral bacteria at healthy levels is treated as protecting blood and organ health. Healthy gums are framed as the foundation teeth need, and diagnosis is paired with explaining why treatment is needed and how future problems are prevented.
