Our goal is to determine the root causes of your child\u2019s dental issues, so to work with your family as a tam for prevention and ultimate health.  We thoroughly examine and discuss how one part of the human body can affect another part and talk a lot about how we are interconnected system\u2026not just a bunch of separate body parts.  In using the term functional dentistry, we are not attempting to stake out a new specialty for dentistry but rather to describe a philosophy that can apply to all facets of the dental practice and to health care in general: to always seek the safest, least toxic, and least invasive way to accomplish the mission of treatment and to discover the root cause of the issue to prevent it from happening again.  We uphold and attain all of the same goals of modern dentistry and try our best to do it while treading as lightly as possible on the patient\u2019s biological terrain. A more biocompatible approach to oral health is the hallmark of functional dentistry, as is an approach that looks far beyond the teeth, assessing a child\u2019s airway, myofunctional health, sleep hygiene, social and emotional health, and how issues in other parts of their body may be manifesting themselves in the mouth.
