Hi,

Our 19-month-old daughter has cavities on her top two front teeth. We're seeking a holistic pediatric dentist. Specifically one who is knowledgeable about biocompatible fillings, mercury-free fillings, ozone therapy, or homeopathy.

We live in Elgin but we're willing to travel anywhere in the Chicago vicinity.

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure whether or not he's knowledgeable in homeopathics, but my kids pediatric dentist in Elgin has been very open to conversation about alternate options. I'm a chiropractic physician myself and am pretty picky about my healthcare providers. You might try calling:

Kids First Pediatric Dentistry
Dr. matt karsten

He's very nice to work with. My kids love him and his office.

I am responding to clear up a misconception: there is no recognized specialty in "holistic pediatric dentistry." The body that serves to certify pediatric dentists is The American Board of Pediatric Dentistry (ABPD). The membership organization that represents pediatric dentists is The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD). Board certified pediatric dentists (and, presumably, those non-board certified and candidates for certification) follow the clinical guidelines and observe the oral health policies that are set forth by the AAPD. These guidelines are supported by evidence-based and peer reviewed literature. Deviation of these guidelines may be considered experimentation, which is not recommended for the pediatric patient. By contacting the AAPD, you may get further information regarding your request.

Here is a link for a listing of Mercury-free dentists in IL. I have gone to Dr. Kevin Boehm in Hoffman Estates. They were very good with my kids there, and they do not use fluoride. If you also do a google search on holistic dentist IL, you should be able to find some other info about dentists you can try. That was what I searched to find that directory. Hope this helps.

I would love support too as I am scared with our son and want the best for him. I called Dr karsten's office to make an appt.

Thank you,
