Dr. David W. Edwards - Holistic Dental Health
Holistic Dental Health is a holistic and biological dental practice located in Sanford, Florida, led by Dr. David W. Edwards, DMD. The practice describes holistic dentistry and biological dentistry as interchangeable terms, and approaches dental care through the lens of whole-body health, treating the mouth as a window to overall wellness. The practice has roots going back to 1969, when it was founded by Dr. Edwards’ father, Dr. George Edwards.
Services offered include safe mercury amalgam removal following the full IAOMT protocol, ozone therapy, dental revisions (general restorative dentistry), cosmetic restorations, extractions with L-PRF (Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin) therapy, dental wellness exams and hygiene visits, Invisalign teeth straightening, and oral cancer screenings. The practice also sells wellness products directly through its website.
The practice has not used amalgam filling materials in over 33 years. Dr. Edwards has been an Accredited Member of the IAOMT since 2007, served as President of the IAOMT Board from 2020 to 2023, and currently serves on its Board of Directors. The practice follows the full IAOMT SMART protocol for amalgam removal, which includes air filtration systems, protective barriers for the patient and all staff, non-latex nitrile gloves and dental dams, supplemental oxygen via nasal mask, saliva ejection under the dam, sectioning of amalgam into large pieces, chlorella rinses before and after removal, and proper mercury waste disposal. Replacement restorations use tooth-colored composite resin or all-ceramic materials. Dr. Edwards earned his Bachelor of Science from Florida State University and his Doctor of Medical Dentistry (DMD) from the University of Florida.
The website does not mention whether children are seen as patients or whether virtual consultations are available. The practice is out-of-network for all dental insurance and does not accept insurance payment directly; it will provide completed claim forms so patients can seek reimbursement from their insurers.
