Dr. Claire Stagg HCD by the Smile Professionals

Dr. Claire Stagg HCD by the Smile Professionals A "Whole Body"​ holistically oriented Dental Practice. We nurture and develop nature’s beautiful smiles. Why Smile Professionals?

The head, neck and teeth are all connected and optimal health begins with the mouth! To Dr. Claire Stagg, Mercury Free Dentistry is not simply a decision to provide mercury free fillings, it is a commitment to provide dentistry that will improve and enhance her patients' dental and overall health. Simply put, Dr. Stagg’s philosophy is Excellence and Health. She understands the relationship between

the mouth and the whole body, "The teeth are the tip of the iceberg... there is a whole body attached to the teeth." Dr. Stagg focuses on the connections of the mouth to the body's health and balance. She uses an integrative dental and craniofacial approach promoting vital functions such as smiling, eating and breathing for a higher quality of life. This is evident in her initial comprehensive examination that is exceptionally thorough. She listens to her patient's concerns and needs, and then takes the time to explain the best course of treatment. Most patients comment on how they have never had such a thorough exam. Excellence shows in her constant desire to learn more and apply that knowledge to patient care. Dr. Stagg actively attends advanced continuing education courses that only a handful of dentists in the US attend. We are the only dental office in Brevard with onsite Complex Motion Cranial Tomographic Imaging capability. We also have many other high tech systems for the diagnosis and treatment of TMJ and Sleep Breathing Disorders along with a multitude of treatment modalities for head, neck and facial pain. Dr. Stagg has found it very gratifying to provide lasting relief to patients that have lived with TMJ related pain for many years; refreshing and quiet sleep to snorers and sleep apneics. Her exceptional capabilities show in all aspects from a basic filling to a stunning smile makeover that feels great and can enhance overall health. We proudly serve Brevard County and surrounding areas; especially, the greater Melbourne area, Indian Harbour Beach, Satellite Beach, Viera, Port St. John, Palm Bay, Vero Beach, Suntree, Orlando, West Palm Beach, and Miami.

🦷 😁 Your tongue does more than you think… and it might be impacting your energy, breathing, and even your intimacy. ❤️

------

In her latest piece for News 9 Miami, Dr. Claire Stagg breaks down how something as simple as tongue posture can influence your nervous system, sleep quality, and overall connection with others.

If you’ve been feeling off—low energy, disconnected, or not quite yourself—this could be the missing link no one’s talking about.

🌊 21 YEARS IN THIS SPACE. OVER 44 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. ONE MISSION.

On March 29, 2004… something different was born in Indian Harbour Beach. ✨

Not the beginning of a career…but the evolution of one.

After graduating in 1982, Dr. Claire Stagg spent decades studying, practicing, and asking a deeper question:

What if dentistry wasn’t just about teeth?

That question led to the creation of Health Connections Dentistry®, a place designed to go beyond traditional care and into something far more powerful…

A practice built on the understanding that:

❤️ Your mouth is connected to your body.
❤️ Your breathing affects your health.
❤️ Your sleep impacts everything.

And for the past 21 years in this location…

We’ve done what most practices don’t.

➡️ We’ve looked deeper.
➡️ We’ve connected the dots.
➡️ We’ve helped patients find answers they couldn’t find anywhere else.

Because this was never about doing more dentistry.

It was about doing dentistry differently.

💚 Over 40 years of experience
💚 21 years serving this community
💚 Countless lives changed through a whole-body approach

So today, we’re not just celebrating when we opened these doors…
We’re celebrating a lifetime of commitment to seeing health differently.

✨ If you’ve been part of this journey - thank you
✨ If you’ve trusted us with your health - we’re grateful.
✨ If you’re new here - welcome to a different kind of care

Crooked Teeth Are Often a Symptom 🦷

Crowding isn’t always genetic.

It’s often the result of:

• Poor tongue posture
• Mouth breathing
• Restricted jaw development

In my book, SMILE, It's All Connected... I explain why addressing function matters more than forcing alignment.

Fix the cause — not just the appearance.

✨ From Patient to Published Author — This Is Why I Do What I Do ✨

I am beyond proud to share something deeply meaningful. One of my patients, Daria Anne DiGiovanni, asked me to help edit and write the foreword to her new book — and it was truly an honor.

Her journey through PCOS, Hashimoto’s, and autoimmune illness is raw, brave, and POWERFUL. This book is not theory. It’s lived experience, persistence, and healing through functional medicine when the traditional sick-care system failed her.

My Escape from the Sick‑Care System is a guide for anyone who knows deep down there has to be a better way — and is ready to take their health back.

Watching a patient transform into an advocate, a leader, and now a published author is exactly why I do this work. Daria, I am so proud of you. 💚

✨ When the Dots Finally Connect — Cecile’s Story (Part 4) ✨

At 78 years young, Cecile shared something that truly stopped me in my tracks: she had never had a dentist explain how everything in her body is connected — until now.

This is what holistic dentistry is really about. It’s not chasing symptoms. It’s building the right foundation. We clear the fires, remove hidden stressors like mercury, stabilize the bite, and allow the body to recalibrate. When we did that, Cecile didn’t just notice changes in her mouth — she felt more relaxed, more limber, and better overall.

Once patients finally see the full picture, everything changes. Awareness creates empowerment. And empowerment opens the door to healing.

🚨 Everyone on TikTok is talking about “mewing”… but most of what you’re seeing is missing the science.

As a biological dentist, I’m seeing more patients confused — and sometimes harmed — by viral jawline and tongue-posture trends. 😬

In this article, I break down what actually matters when it comes to tongue posture, facial development, breathing, and airway health — and what TikTok gets wrong. 🧠🦷💨

This isn’t about chasing trends.

It’s about understanding your anatomy and protecting your long-term health.

👉 Before you try another viral “fix,” read this first.

PART 3 of Cecile’s Journey is HERE 💜

In this third chapter of Cecile’s powerful testimonial, we dive deeper into her mercury removal transformation with Health Connection Dentistry and Dr. Claire Stagg.

This phase focuses on safely replacing old mercury fillings, restoring proper bite alignment, and finding Cecile’s natural position of rest. It wasn’t just about making her smile look better — it was about creating balance, comfort, and long-term oral health. The transformation speaks for itself.

Cecile’s story shows what’s possible when dentistry is personalized, intentional, and done the right way.

📰✨ NEW ARTICLE: The Real Story Behind Dr. John Mew — What Really Happened?

I’m honored to share my latest feature with News 9 Miami, where I take a deeper look into the controversy surrounding Dr. John Mew, Orthotropics, and the global phenomenon now known as “mewing.”

What began as a viral trend is actually rooted in decades of science, airway-focused dentistry, and a father–son legacy committed to helping children breathe, grow, and thrive.

In this article, I explore:

Why Dr. Mew was criticized — and ultimately “canceled.”

How the BioBloc and Orthotropics were designed to grow faces forward, not backward.

Why airway-focused dentistry threatens outdated dogma.

The surprising science behind facial growth, breathing disorders, and long-term health.

Why millions around the world are searching for answers traditional dentistry never addressed.

This story is much bigger than a documentary.
It’s a conversation about innovation, children’s health, and whether our profession supports progress — or punishes it.

If you’ve ever wondered how facial growth, airway development, and whole-body wellness connect… this article is for you.
