Pediatric dentist recommend needed in SLC area -thanks!

[emma_goldman]

Hi all!

I'm looking for a dentist that uses less toxic materials and/or a conservative (maybe wait and see?) approach.

Thanks!!!

I should have a better answer because I worked at a pediatric dental surgery center for a couple years and while I'm not sure about every dentist's approach or material usages I can recommend a few dentists just based on knowing them/ being around them. (I was in reception so I didn't work with them hands-on as an assistant.)

*Not in any particular order.*

David Roth -- Southridge Pediatric Dentistry

Jeff Burg or Stuart Segura -- www.burgpediatricdentistry.com

If I can think of more I'll come back to this thread but hope this helps in the meantime!

No problem! Here's another I actually just learned about this morning. I've never met or worked with him or know anyone who has seen him but he has a practice in Lindon and he is an accredited holistic dentist. This is from his website (www.synergydentalutah.com):

"We are proud to announce that in September 2010, Dr. Ulm became the first dentist in the State of Utah accredited with the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (www.iaomt.org).  Accreditation requires a rigorous examination of mercury-safe practices and demonstrated knowledge of biocompatibility of materials, toxicity, fluoride, and nutrition, among other requirements.  We are proud of this distinction and feel it accurately reflects our commitment to excellence in biological dentistry."

Anyway, it seems to answer your question for a more holistic dentist and I'm actually interested in checking him out myself!
