Deitrich Klinghardt MD
Dr. Boyd Haley
Drs. Phil Mollica and Robert Hughes
Dr. Omura
Dr. Norman Thomas
Dr. Shankland
Drs. Heidi & Bill Dickerson
Dr. Wally Schmidt
And some of the people who have been an inspiration to continue learning more about dentistry (but not necessarily in this order) are:
The brilliant Dr. Norman Thomas, who has more degrees than I have fingers on my hands. He is Clinical Director at Las Vegas Institute, and has been instrumental in keeping dentistry interesting and exciting for me. One of my prized possessions is a signed photo of Dr. Thomas, myself and my wife.
Drs. Weston Price and Francis Pottenger These two gentlemen were ahead of their time, and proved that a healthy diet created sound bone structure, teeth and an optimum mouth.
Royal Raymond Rife is, in my opinion, the father of Energetic Medicine.
Dr. Boyd Haley, former Chairman of the Biology Dept at the Univ of Kentucky


Hi Rich,
We do root canals in conjunction with a local endodontist who uses the materials and procedure we recommend.

Dear Dr Behm,
I am a past patient of yours. (silver amalgam/tattoo removal) I have recently been diagnosed with internal resorption of #11 tooth by a dentist in my insurance plan. I am experiencing no pain or discomfort at this time. He is referring me to an endodontist for a root canal assessment. I would prefer to have this procedure done by a natural dentist. Do you perform root canals or do you refer out? Are there other options that I may consider?
Sincerely,
Rich Lumazza
Hi Amy, We do not know of any holistic pedodontist in this area, but there is a woman in Tampa who will place white fillings rather than amalgams. Call our office for her name.
Dr Behm, For the last eight years I have been a patient of Dr Steven Green, Holistic Dentist, in Miami. This past week he retired. I am currently living in North Port and it appears you are one of the closest Holistic Dentist in FL. Also currently I am having a problem with a root canaled molar (#30). The root canal was done aprox. 9 years ago. I have been monitoring it for some time and it is creating a discomfort that extends under the jaw and at times down the neck. I believe it needs to be removed and a bridge made. I see from your webpage you do extractions and I would like to know how much it would cost and whether you do bridges and how much that would be.
I would appreciate any direction you could give me.
