About

My mission is to empower patients to avoid unnecessary dental treatments. I teach practical oral care strategies that are effective and affordable. My methods focus on the science and holistic nature of oral health, outlining how to care for teeth daily and make small changes that create significant oral health impact. I have over 40 years' experience as a practicing dentist. Over my many years in dentistry, I developed successful preventive oral health programs for adults and children. I am a Founding Member of the American Academy For Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH), an organization which has grown into a world leader in proactive healthcare collaboration. You can find my teaching in my two best selling books: Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye and Mouth Care Comes Clean. Learn more at drellie.com
