Thank you Denny that Dentist web site has a lot on information and I have found 5 biological dentists in Virgina and I am in the process of interviewing with them to decide who to use. So far I have met one and talked to two others and have an appointment with another and the other one Dr. Zunka does not take any insurance but I may want to meet with him too. (see his references below). 'Biological' may have a lot a variance as to how holistic or alternative each of them are. I will seek to find some one who communicates well with me.
For so many years I just went to different dentists and never questioned and never considered that they might be using processes I would regret down the road.

Busy fellow no wonder they don't mess with filing insurance.
He does sound good to me.
I am sure I will find a match but I am going to visit all of these because it matters to find the best help now after so many years of going to so many non holistic dentists.
Again, thank you for your input!
