 Orthodontic problems are present in two out of every three children in the population and more than half of those could be candidates for a tooth positioner. A tooth positioner is another choice, especially in children, for straightening teeth without braces. Tooth positioners are specifically designed to correct over jet, overbite, crowded or rotated teeth and spaces between teeth. If placed early enough, a tooth positioner can eliminate the need for the more expensive orthodontic treatments. All children should have an orthodontic screening by age seven to evaluate future needs.

Snore Prevention — Dr. Hartman can treat snoring! It is estimated that more than 80 million people in North America snore while sleeping. Dr. Hartman can prescribe the most affordable, non-evasive, comfortable and effective snoring solution. The Silent Nite snoring device is worn at night and it moves the lower jaw into a forward position that increases the three-dimensional space in the airway tube, which reduces air velocity and soft tissue vibration.

Welcome to Smiles for Life Dentistry – A Biological Dental Practice by Jeffery D. Hartman, D.M.D., PC., Huntingdon Pennsylvania

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.
