Dr. Lerners odyssey toward holistic dentistry began before he even thought of becoming a dentist. As a child, he had many cavities that resulted in repair with mercury silver fillings. It seemed that at every checkup, there were more mercury silver fillings to be placed. Then, as many kids do, Dr. Lerner broke a tooth in an accident and it had to be removed. The orthodontist decided to close the space by bringing his teeth all the way over to the front from the right to the left. His teeth ended up looking straight but his jaw was crooked.Dr. Lerner later learned that his crooked jaw led to a variety of problems including head and neck aches. After graduating from dental school, Dr. Lerner began TMJ treatment. When the treatment finally brought relief, Dr. Lerner began his journey toward understanding the mouth-body connection in earnest and soon learned that the bite can affect much more than your mouth.Dr. Lerner gained further insight in the form of back pain due to shoveling too much snow without a proper shovel. The excruciating pain led to a quest for a cure a quest that did not end until he met a practitioner of Applied Kinesiology and Sacral-Occipital Technique. This practitioner gave him relief with his very first treatment. These treatments helped Dr. Lerner so much that he decided to begin his training in Holistic Dentistry. He soon became a practitioner of Applied Kinesiology and Sacral-Occipital Techniques.Although his back was feeling much better, Dr. Lerner still needed relief from lingering complications, which drove him to search for more answers. He found those answers in the office of a dentist trained in nutrition and acupuncture therapy. During a thorough analysis, this dentist discovered that Dr. David Lerners health issues and lack of energy were a result of childhood mercury silver fillings. Once the fillings were removed, Dr. Lerner had much more energy and he felt he was finally moving toward ideal health.

Wonderful, comfortable, professional experience

I was looking for a holistic dentist to remove mercury fillings. I found Dr. Lerner's practice and could not be more pleased. He is a natural healer, clearly very experienced, and runs an approachable and well organized practice. We will be coming back.

Today I had impressions taken by the assistant Nicole. She was such a pleasure and gentle. Often times going to the dentist can be stressful, but Dr. Lerner and his team are always caring and make you feel at ease.

Best hygienist ever - Jayne!

Had a good experience with both the hygienist and
Dr. Lerner. They took me on time and then took their time checking my mouth. So far so good!

As pleasant as going to the dentist can be

Jayne was beyond lovely! I don like going to the dentist, but she made me feel calm and taken care of. She was gentle and a great distraction from having my mouth open for so long! And Dr. Lerner was very kind as well.

Overall pretty good

I´ve had mixed feelings about my experiences. They wanted to do more dental work than I have ever had done. But I realize once it has been done that it was needed and I now trust them. The dental hygienist is patient, friendly and answers questions well.
