John J. Tortora, D.D.S. - Holistic & Family Dentistry In this manner, he is able to use a true holistic approach to treatment. This includes issues of lifestyle, oral hygiene and emotional and mental health.

For Dr. Tortora the joy of dental practice is transforming a mouth to healthy function and getting to know the patient as a person, developing a working relationship. Very often people think of holistic dentistry as offering a magic natural cure for all their oral woes, I take a different view. In my practice, holistic dentistry means integrating all of the myriad factors that affect oral health a

nd addressing them in a logical way based on existing knowledge. It also means informing patients of the toxic and infectious burden that poor oral health can put on their systemic well being. A distinction is made as to how much scientific evidence exists to support the advice given. Holistic dentistry is not well represented by the use of unproven techniques simply because they sound esoteric and "holistic" or "natural". This approach undermines the value of the service I can provide and infringes on the assumed trust that patients have in me. The concept of wholeness is inseparable from quality dental care. One's self-esteem, self-image, financial well being are only some of the areas that are addressed with each patient. By using techniques and procedures that eliminate or minimize the toxic burden from the oral cavity, I believe I can raise one's total wellness. Establishing an attractive smile can improve one's self-image and be emotionally and spiritually uplifting. Through a commitment to excellence in dentistry, I can bring a higher level of holistic health to my patients. Those in the holistic community, being aware of this, have sought mercury-free alternatives and amalgam removal procedures. Also, by using only high gold content alloys in crowns, bridges, and inlays he has avoided exposing his patients to nickel and beryllium as well. With today's technology the durability of composite resins is now approaching that achieved with amalgam in years passed. It is an exciting time in mercury-free dentistry.

Not all sweet treats are created equal when it comes to how harmful they are for your oral health. Although no candy is genuinely good for your teeth, it’s important to realize that some candy is considerably worse for teeth than others. Dark chocolate is one of the best choices because it washes away easily, but sticky candies like caramels love to hang around and cause cavities. Moderation and smart choices are the key to tackling your sugar cravings. Which is your favorite candy? Let’s hear it below! ⬇️

If you’re considering veneers, it’s extremely important to see a licensed dentist to place them.

Veneer services from unlicensed individuals, or “veneer technicians,” may come with potential risks for infection and nerve damage, and an unlicensed individual may unknowingly place veneers over unhealthy teeth. Unsupervised dental treatment from unlicensed individuals has the potential to cause damaging complications for patients.

For safe and effective treatment, visit John Tortora DDS for your veneers.

Have you noticed small notches near the gumline of your teeth? This could be tooth abfraction, a condition caused by excessive stress on the teeth from clenching, grinding, or an unbalanced bite. Over time, this stress weakens the enamel, leading to sensitivity, structural damage, and an increased risk of decay.

If left untreated, abfraction can worsen, affecting both the strength and health of your teeth. At John Tortora DDS, we can help identify the cause and recommend the best treatment, whether it’s a nightguard, bite adjustment, or restorative care.
