Medicine Wheel Dental: Mercury Free & Mercury Safe, Holistic, Cosmetic Dentistry

Dr. Steven Swidler has practiced holistic, mercury free and mercury safe dentistry since 1976. His practice integrates a balanced mix of traditional dentistry with naturopathic, homeopathic and alternative treatment modalities.

His goal is to treat his patients in the most healthy, caring, holistic way possible and to share information about dental wellness with his patients so that they may make educated decisions about their oral health. He fully understands the important relationship of oral to overall health and realizes that; "You cannot be truly healthy without good oral health!"

As your Oral Health Doctor, Dr. Swidler is aware that mercury vapor and dental infections can have a negative impact on overall health. Because of this concern, we focus on patient education and strive to remove mercury amalgam (silver) fillings in a safe way. For information about why it's important to use a mercury safe dentist, Click Here.

To accomplish this, we utilize removal protocols based on recommendations of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine, the Holistic Dental Association (HDA), and other prominent biological and holistic dental organizations. For more information about why we use safe removal protocols and an explanation of what they are, Click Here.

Holistic/Integrated dentistry is a philosophy that recognizes that the teeth and associated structures are a part of the whole body. Because of this important relationship, we offer a wide range of healthy treatment options. Dr. Swidler also takes a unique Whole Body, integrated approach to oral health care; combining sound dental science and technical experience with a deep concern for his patients' emotional well-being and comfort.

This Whole Body philosophy stresses the use of safe biocompatible dental materials whenever possible. He also works closely with highly qualified health professionals to assist him in his efforts to return the patient to optimal oral and overall health. His Health-Focused approach to holistic dentistry means that he treats the teeth, jaw, and related oral structures, with specific regard to how that treatment will affect the entire body.

A Personal Note from Dr. Tom

I know Dr. Swidler personally and he is a highly trained, experienced, skilled, and caring health focused, mercury safe dentist. I am impressed with the depth of his knowledge and understanding about the critically important relationship of oral to overall health and he utilizes this knowledge when designing the treatment of his patients. He promotes patient education and has a personal interest in the health and healing of his patients.

His deep concern for his patients' health, his ongoing training in holistic, cosmetic, and traditional dentistry and his concern for the safe removal of amalgam fillings makes him ideally suited to remove and replace them. He is also one of the pioneers in the area of bite/jaw problems and the importance of correct alignment to oral and overall health. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a caring holistic and mercury safe dentist. Dr. Swidler is also a Charter Member of the International Association of Mercury Free Dentists (IAMFD).

He is also the personal dentist for Dr. Andrew Weil, MD and that alone says a great deal about Dr. Swidler. I encourage you to visit his informative and easy-to-use website to learn more about his philosophy and approach to healthy dentistry. When you visit his office, please let him know where you found out about him and tell him hello for me. Thanks!
