Many issues that Dr Gary Newstadt sees in his practice originate from basic life stresses that reveal themselves as dental conditions such as bruxism or teeth clenching. Patients are often unaware of the pivotal role our mouth, jaw and neck play in their overall health. Most dentists opt to provide treatment plans that address immediate problems rather than the root causes. Instead of just treating what is happening in your mouth, holistic dentistry aims to answer why a particular condition occurs and what can be done to prevent that outcome. The goal of holistic dentistry is to provide an action plan to your overall health and well-being. This is where Dr Gary Newstadt is unique.
Dr Gary Newstadt strongly believes that the role of a dentist is to educate patients. He is motivated by a genuine desire to help patients understand how to prevent rather than just treat symptoms. By treating the underlying causes, we can save our patients time and money on fixing a dental outcome that could have been prevented.
The old adage that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is definitely one that Dr Gary Newstadt continues to impress upon his patients.
