The importance of using a full field airway CBCT as part of a comprehensive dental exam.
At Family Holistic Dentistry in Boulder Colorado we know the importance of using airway CBCT for comprehensive exams. This scan helps evaluate the TMJ, nasal passages, and airway, identifying root causes of oral issues like clenching, grinding, and mouth breathing, which can lead to decay, fractured fillings, and changes in oral health.
Why we prefer Ceramic Implants (Patient compares a ceramic implant with us with a previously placed titanium implant).
One of our patients had a titanium implant placed two years ago in another dental practice and recently had a ceramic implant placed with us. In this video, she contrasts the two. She had a positive experience with a ceramic implant at Family Holistic Dentistry in Boulder, Colorado. Our processing using laser, ozone, and PFR resulted in better healing and pain avoidance, a more natural progression, and a better recovery compared to the traditional titanium implant. Despite the ceramic implant being recently placed, the patient is experiencing fewer issues such as pressure, temperature sensitivity, and gum irritation compared to the titanium implant.

What is ALF? And what is the process a patient will go through?
Dr. Anna Jumtina from Family Holistic Dentistry explains their comprehensive approach to treating facial pain, TMD, and dental issues using ALF. ALF is a specialized non-traditional orthodontic treatment method that uses principles of cranial osteopathy to address the alignment of the facial, spinal, and cranial bones and misaligned teeth. The process involves a CBCT scan, education, dental care, and ALF treatment, customized to each patient. The treatment includes collaboration with osteopaths, myofunctional therapists, and close monitoring of progress with regular checkups and possible orthodontic follow-up.

Meridians
The meridian system, a fundamental concept in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), plays a role in holistic dentistry. According to TCM, each tooth is associated with a specific meridian, which in turn is connected to various organs and systems in the body. This interconnectedness suggests that oral health can reflect and influence overall health.
