The health of the mouth is a reflection of a person’s total well being. Understanding your life style allows the health-centered practice to assist in guiding you to optimal dental health.
Dr. Hartman is a holistic general dentist who believes patients today increasingly take more responsibility for their own healthcare. He knows they tend to be well read, educated by previous dental experiences, and more discriminating in their choice of treatment methods. He has a desire to help health-minded patients achieve optimum wellness. Dr. Hartman wants to teach these patients that much more is known about the interactions between the teeth and the whole body functions, about the negative effects of many materials and about the alternatives that are more biologically compatible then the traditional methods.
Dr. Hartman has the knowledge and understands the properties and proper placement techniques required for using more advanced materials. The Smiles for Life health-centered office has compiled educational materials, new methods and techniques and alternatives to better serve our patients.
