WebMD notes that “up to 91 percent of patients with heart disease have periodontitis, compared to 66 percent of people with no heart disease. The two conditions have several risk factors, such as smoking, an unhealthy diet, and excess weight. And some suspect that periodontitis has a direct role in raising the risk for heart disease.”
These new ideas and evidence-based innovations are bubbling up all over the country, and we call this biologic dentistry. That can mean many things, so we need to sort out the evidence-based innovations from the hopeful theories. __________________________

Dr. Robert Herzog, DDS, FAGD
Are you getting the best, most advanced, and safest dental care for your family?
What if we thought about dental health as the foundation for physical health?
New ideas and evidence-based innovations are bubbling up all over the country. We call this biologic dentistry, and we should sort out the evidence-based innovations from hopeful theories.
Dr. Rob Herzog, a highly trained engineer, gifted dentist, and a leading champion of biologic dentistry, is a seasoned curator of these exciting new technologies and methods. He demands that clinical evidence and experience back all this up.
Dr. Herzog offers a fascinating view of the mouth-body connection and the danger most of us face with mercury amalgam fillings. Many of us have different and dissimilar metals in our mouths, which can create microcurrents and, consequently, brain fog.
He champions cleaner methods, safer extractions, 3D x-ray CT imaging, ozone and lasers, solutions for jaw disorders, better breathing and sleep, the lymphatic system, retaining wisdom teeth, and newly revealed dangers of root canals.
Biologic Dentistry and a Better You helps us visualize our family’s dental health from a new perspective. It’s not just about teeth anymore. Medical science now embraces the electrifying realization that the body is deeply interconnected. When something isn’t right, it often shows up in the mouth.

A passionate, humorous, loving, family man and masterful clinician, the best part of Dr. Herzog is he loves what he does and follows all the advice he is dishing out here in this book. In fact, it is his own health journey that motivated him to do more to share, educate, and ultimately, help his patients throughout the country.

You deserve it, just ask Dr. Herzog!"

“As an integrative physician I am naturally drawn to biologic dentistry for my family's dental care. Both of these holistic approaches to healthcare share the basic tenets of patient-centered care that seeks to apply the best of conventional and complementary therapies for safe and effective results, nurture intrinsic healing, and honor the therapeutic relationship. Dr. Herzog's open-minded and expansive approach to his calling is evident in this book, and he gives testimony to the fact that biologic dentistry isn't a new specialty, rather, it is just good dentistry.”
—Ann Carey Tobin, M.D., FAAFP
“Dr. Herzog has hit a home run with this text. He describes biologic dentistry in a commonsense way we can all understand. Dr. Herzog is a gifted clinician and educator, as he aptly describes biologic dentistry as truly a humanistic approach to overall health and wellness. This important text should be read by every physician and traditional dentist with an open mind. The result will be much improved outcomes for their patients.”
