“Without a doubt, Dr. Ray Behm has my confidence.  Whenever I have a critical or delicate dental situation, he is definitely at the top of my short list of the most advanced and most capable biological dentists I would allow to work on me.

Why? Because he fully understands the relationship of the teeth to the health of the overall body (or lack of it), and he knows how to test and examine the patient to ensure the best chance for the most optimal outcome for each individual patient, as the unique individual he/she is.  This is something completely overlooked — with rare exception — in conventional dentistry.

Thank you so much!  This was by FAR the best dental experienced I have EVER HAD!  Your staff and your technical care was far superior to others.  I have no problems whatsoever telling anyone to come see you for the best dental care.

Best regards,
Dr. Neal Springer

I wish to say that I have had the best dental work done in this office, including cleaning of teeth, that I have ever had in my life. 

I would recommend Dr. Behm to anyone.  His staff are extremely nice and helpful, and you begin to feel like “family” instead of a patient.  Your questions are answered and your comfort is taken into consideration.  I am a retired chiropractor and had an office for 20 years in Biloxy, MS on the Gulf Coast. 

Just wanted to say a special Thank You for taking such great care of me during my appointments this week.  I could not have asked for better treatment.  I feel so good  knowing that all my teeth are cavity free, thanks to you. 

After being told by a dentist here in my town that I needed a root canal, I began searching for a natural dentist.  I believe God led me to your website. 

Dr. Behm, you and your staff are so caring, kind and compassionate.  I really appreciate you involving my entire family in my dental experience. 

My kids really loved getting to come back and hold my hand during some of the fillings.  I am doing great so far except for a little soreness which is to be expected.  I will be contacting you later to schedule a checkup next summer.  Again, thanks for everything. 

I just wanted to say thanks for everything you were able to do and make happen in 3 days.  I definitely look forward to my next trip down for my dental visit(s).  I cannot get over not being sensitive to any kind of mint, perfumes, colognes and cigarette smoke.  All of these would  make my head twitch and give me brain fog.  I noticed this the 2nd day after my surgery and tested very well on the flight home.  See you again . . .

Russ Tanner, President of Herb Allure and his great story!

Just in case you’re interested, the dentist who replaced my fillings is Ray Behm, Natural Dentistry.  As you’ll read in the story, not only is he an excellent dentist, but is extremely knowledgeable about the issue of amalgams and mercury toxicity (and no, I don’t receive any compensation for saying so). 

We set up an appointment with Dr. Behm for Thursday July 13th for a consultation and x-rays.  We also set up an appointment for the actual removal on the 16th (Sunday).  I was impressed that the Dr. would work on Sundays.

The first impression we had from Dr. Behm’s office was how the receptionist—Mercedes—was exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful.  This was not necessarily uncommon, though, as we called several other offices who’s staff were very helpful too.

I recently had a filling fall out and called the office to see when I could get it handled.  It was not an emergency, I was not in pain and would have waited for Dr. Behm, my dentist, to see me whenever he could.  The fact is, I got an appointment the following morning at 8:00 am. This was excellent service as far as I was concerned for a busy dentist who is always in demand.

When I arrived the next morning, Dr. Behm was there ready for me.  He simply took me in and handled the refill and everything connected with doing this the way he does – muscle testing for the proper filling material (composite), making sure everything was compatible with my body, etc.  He did everything immediately and finished in time for me to get to work without a problem, even though he could have probably used the time for other pressing things.

Here I sit, having just become a newly installed member of the “Amalgam-Free” society.  WOW!!! is the immediate feeling I get when I look at my gigantic smile, I can now see my lips framing all white, metal-free teeth.   Some of my toxic mercury filings were close to 50 years old.

For me it has been a 3-year’s research to determine “why,” “how” and “who.”   The “why” on getting my mouth fixed was that every meal brought discomfort, as my cheek, gums and tongue were receiving almost as many strikes as the food I was attempting to eat.  Sometimes I would swallow long before the food was chewed just to avoid the pain.

Braces, implants and crowns had been recommended to me some 3 years prior. After consulting with several orthodontists and oral surgeons, I decided no to those approaches.  My common sense knew not to remove metal and replace it with another metal.  So I decided “how” I wanted the work done.

I am an alternative health care doctor.  Ten years ago I realized that my teeth needed some attention.   I did not have a good understanding on how to take care of them, as my interests had been taking care of bodies.  I decided that it was inconsistent for me to take care of myself and have significant dental problems.

I went to a traditional dentist initially and he informed me that I had severe periodontal disease and needed several root canals.  I was very inquisitive about what was going on with my mouth and his explanations were contrary to everything I knew about health.  I was convinced that the mouth was separate from the “laws “ which the body operated on.

I proceeded to have deep tissue cleaning of my gums and root canals done on five of my teeth.  Every time I would go through this experience I felt worse.  Once I even had a car accident after a visit, even though I never had an accident previously.

“I have been a patient of Dr. Behm’s for about four years now. I’m 57 years old, and have lived in 5 different states, so I’ve seen several dentists over the years. I can say without a doubt that Ray Behm is the best dentist I’ve ever had.  More than that, as far as I’m concerned, he sets a new, higher standard for dentists. First of all, Dr. Behm cares for people. Most dentists, even if very competent technically, are running an assembly line for fixing bodies. Sometimes I think they don’t even really notice someone is there; they might as well be working on an automobile engine.

Ray talks to you, explains what’s going on, gives you options where they exist, tells you why you need to do something and what happens if you don’t. You really feel that he cares about you and would like to talk to you all day, if he didn’t have other patients to see. The sense is that he is helping you care for your body, helping you be more responsible for your own condition.

Frankly, this goes a long way towards easing the pain and discomfort often associated with a visit to the dentist. I’m not saying this makes dentistry fun, but it definitely makes it a lot better.
