Long-Time San Diego Dentist Offers Alternative Approach to Dentistry

    CARLSBAD, CA, October 26, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In a world where Dental professionals are increasingly pressured to maximize revenues and treat as many patients as possible, Stephen A. Lawrence, DDS, stands out. Not only is his San Diego holistic dental practice patient-focused with an emphasis on compassion, it is also holistically centered on non-toxic dental care and nutritional support. Dr. Lawrence strives to make a difference in the world by making a difference in the health -- and mouths -- of his patients.

Holistic dentistry combines the science and research of modern dentistry with a focus on the overall health and vitality of the body. It has been said that problems with the teeth indicate a deeper problem within the body, as healthy teeth and gums are good indicators of overall health. Holistic dentistry seeks natural and non-toxic solutions to common dental problems, with a focus on nourishing the body, building strong defenses and reducing the number of cavity-causing bacteria in the mouth. Often, dental problems can be reversed with proper care and holistic management.

"I truly believe I have a calling to help patients with both physical and spiritual healing," says Dr. Lawrence, who is a licensed Chiropath (God-centered healing) and Mitred Archpriest in the Eastern Orthodox Catholic Church. "The body and soul can work together to promote healing, optimal health and wellness. This belief is what drives me and my work with patients."

Dr. Lawrence is at the forefront of the holistic dentistry field. In his 27-year career providing mercury-free, non-toxic dentistry in San Diego, he has been a featured host on talk radio, and has constantly strived to improve his knowledge in alternative medicine. Dr. Lawrence partners with holistic healthcare providers throughout the San Diego area to bring his patients better, more comprehensive access to quality alternative healthcare. His practice focuses on helping and educating his patients, whatever their concerns.

"For me, holistic dentistry is more than a job; it is a passion and a way of life," says Dr. Lawrence. "From a young age, I've been fascinated by nutrition and how the body works, which is why I really enjoy teaching about health, nutrition, and prevention of common diseases and dental problems."
