Heal your teeth: Relationship of physical to dental ailment

The realization that it is advisable to approach health problems from a holistic point of view is starting to assert itself more and more. However, this still does not apply to dentistry. Many still believe that teeth and their diseases should be looked at in isolation. That dental problems may have their causes in other body regions has not yet penetrated into our awareness.

To rectify this bad state of affairs is the great ­concern of Dr. Wolfgang Kuhl (www.drkuhl.de), a renowned dental specialist who has been a long-term consulting dentist with the HR TV station. It goes to his credit that he strongly advocated holistic dentistry. With his book he wants to raise the awareness of his readers towards taking unusual paths with diagnostics and therapy of dental problems.

Mind you: He neither writes prescriptions nor presents treatment methods. Instead, Dr. Kuhl provides an easily understandable overview of the interactions between teeth, other body regions and complaints. He provides doctors, dentists and patients with new opportunities to end futile histories of suffering.
