I have a had a nagging toothache that has been going on for a few months now. It got pretty bad and I finally went into our family dentist. He suggested a root canal. But I wanted to see if there was a more natural option, so I decided to go see a holistic dentist…

I am a holistically-minded person through and through. Well, the other day I had to bet a tooth pulled. Today, my whole face hurts!
