Holistic Dentist

          Dr. Mark Padolsky has been a holistic dentist since 1982. He often works with many other health practicioners to assist patients in achieving both optimum general and dental health. He believes in lifelong professional learning and is actively involved in attending continuing education courses to update his knowledge in his chosen profession of Dentistry and related fields. As a general dentist of 24 years, he uses many dental techniques to help accomodate his patients needs and desires.

          A holistic dentist must use many different dental techniques to help patients. Dr. Padolsky uses orthodontics to position teeth in their optimum arrangement which creates a beautiful, healthy and beautiful smile. He believes that form and function are intimately related and whenever possible, it is best to restore the oral hard and soft tissues back to where they were intended to be. He lectures in TMJ dysfunction and understands the many relationships that medical diseases and disorders have on the teeth and jaws.

         Dr. Padolsky believes that a holistic dentist must individually consider the effects of dental treatment upon each patient. He practices with the Atlanta Dental Group PC in the Midtown/Buckhead area of Atlanta. The dentists of the Atlanta Dental Group PC have been placing mercury free white fillings since 1989.

          There is a misconception that a holistic dentist hates traditional dentistry and medicine. This is not true. This health care practicioner cares for the whole patient and considers the many interrelated problems that the patient has. He seeks to assist his patients in overcoming their problems even if it involves working with interrelated health care disciplines. Dr. Padolsky believes that changes in health involve the patient's desire to change things, not just dental. To schedule a free dental consultation with Dr. Mark Allan Padolsky, call 404-874-7428.
