In his book, Dr. Breiner stresses the importance of using the safest possible treatment approaches for both children and adults. 

“Most of us are familiar with the traditional ‘mouth-only’ orientation of dentistry,” Dr. Breiner said.  “It is focused on oral hygiene, fillings, and extractions.” 

Whole-Body Dentistry® represents a shift away from the traditional approach and offers what some feel is a revolutionary view of dentistry—one that recognizes that issues in the mouth can trigger seemingly unrelated physical illnesses.  

The original edition of Whole-Body Dentistry®: Discover the Missing Piece to Better Health was published in1999.  The updated and expanded edition, Whole-Body Dentistry®: A Complete Guide to Understanding the Impact of Dentistry on Total Health was published in 2011. 

Dr. Breiner is a pioneer and recognized authority in the field of biological and holistic dentistry.  He has been a leader in challenging the safety of placing mercury in the mouth and has identified other dental hazards to one's health.
