- JJJeanne “Jeannee”Oct 1, 20251.0Would give a negative 10 or 0 if possible. Ripped me off for $15K. Day of surgical process he told me he needed another $6500.00. I already paid my actual bill in full prior to the surgery. The test he did medically to see if I could have implants was based on a 47 year old. I was in my early 60's. So sweet till my last visit. I walked out bc there was no reason for more money. BTW, I never did get to meet the 2nd dentist that was supposed to help with the transplants. I HAD A REAL BILL. NOT AN ESTIMATE. $6500.00 EXTRA ADDED ONTO $15+K IS A CON JOB. If you need a filling he may be great but what he did to me was criminal. I later found out from 2 different dentists that I would never be able to have transplants, not even dentures. I had to much gum & bone loss. To this day I am surprised he still has a practice. How does this dentist sleep at night ripping people off
- EHErin HigginsSep 18, 20255.0For years, I struggled with chronic sinus issues and intermittent tooth pain. Over time, the pain intensified to the point where I was constantly sick and in discomfort. I visited many, many doctors and specialists. Many tests were performed, and while I don’t fault the effort, no one could pinpoint the root cause, though there were different opinions. Antibiotics helped temporarily, but the relief was always short-lived. After doing my own research, I found Dr. Udoff—a holistic, whole-body dentist. During our thorough consultation, he carefully reviewed all of the previous medical records and diagnostic data. He not only identified the underlying problem, but confirmed it and treated it effectively. It’s now been almost five months, and I haven’t had a single issue since. Dr. Udoff and his team are incredible—knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to getting to the root of the problem.

Frequently Asked Questions About Whole Body Dentistry
How are chronic inflammation diseases related to dental oral health?
Chronic inflammation diseases are closely linked to dental oral health. The inflammatory process begins when the immune system detects a foreign irritant, triggering the sympathetic nervous system. This leads to an inflammatory cascade to combat pathogens. Chronic inflammation occurs when this process continues long-term, often due to factors such as metal dental work, bacterial overgrowth from gum disease, or root canal infections. These conditions can result in chronic jaw infections, known as NICO, which contribute to ongoing inflammation in the body.
How is the autoimmune system related to oral health?
The autoimmune system and oral health are interconnected through the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) present in every cell. The MHC helps the immune system identify cells as part of the body. However, toxins from root canal treatments, jaw infections, and mercury from silver fillings can alter the MHC's form. This alteration can lead to the immune system attacking these cells, potentially causing autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis or ALS, depending on the affected cell type.
What are the effects of RCT (root canal therapy) on the body?
Root canal therapy (RCT) can have significant effects on the body. The procedure results in a dead tooth, which is unique in medical practice as it leaves non-living tissue in the body. Due to the complex structure of tooth roots, it's nearly impossible to remove all nerve tissue during RCT. Remaining tissue can become a breeding ground for bacteria, leading to toxin production. These toxins can trigger inflammatory responses or alter cell recognition markers, potentially impacting overall health.
Why are ceramic/zirconia implants better for us?
Ceramic/zirconia implants offer several advantages over traditional metal implants. They achieve complete bony integration without causing inflammation, support proper energy flow through the body's meridians, and allow for firm soft tissue attachment. Additionally, these implants do not cause allergic reactions or introduce heavy metals into the body, making them a safer and more biocompatible option for dental restorations.
Ozone therapy and why it's good for the body?
Ozone therapy provides multiple benefits for oral and overall health. It effectively eliminates harmful microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, and fungi while removing dead tissue and cells. This treatment can accelerate recovery time following dental procedures. Furthermore, ozone therapy promotes the remineralization of tooth enamel by supporting a healthy oral biofilm, contributing to improved dental health.
What is biologic dentistry?
Biologic dentistry is an approach that considers the mouth as an integral part of the body's overall health system. This perspective recognizes that oral health issues, particularly sources of chronic inflammation, can activate the autonomic nervous system and trigger stress responses. The focus of biologic dentistry is on supporting the body's natural healing processes by addressing oral health in conjunction with systemic health.
Should I get my toxic mercury fillings removed?
The removal of mercury-containing amalgam fillings is a consideration due to potential health risks. Amalgam fillings, which are approximately 50% mercury, can release mercury vapor during normal oral activities such as chewing or brushing. This exposure may exceed safe levels as defined by the Safe Drinking Water Act. If removal is pursued, it should be done following the SMART protocol to minimize mercury exposure and ensure safety during the process.
What is airway dentistry?
Airway dentistry addresses breathing disorders such as sleep apnea and obstructive breathing. These issues often stem from the collapse of throat muscles and tissues, which can be influenced by oral structures. Factors like improper tongue position, jaw misalignment, tooth wear, and loss of vertical dimension can contribute to airway problems. Common symptoms include snoring, dry mouth upon waking, morning headaches, frequent nighttime urination, and feeling unrested despite sleeping.
What is platelet rich fibrin therapy (PRF)?
Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) therapy is a regenerative treatment that utilizes the patient's own blood components. The process involves centrifuging blood to create a concentrated mixture of platelets, growth factors, and chemical messengers. This 'superclot' acts as a scaffold for tissue regeneration, promoting healing in both soft and hard tissues. PRF can be combined with graft materials for bone regeneration, though it's particularly effective for soft tissue healing. The specific application of PRF is tailored to the patient's needs and the area requiring treatment.
