Peter
has written a book titled "Complementary therapies
in Dental Practice," which provides a timely look at complementary
therapies in the area of dentistry.
The book outlines the ways in which complementary therapies
can be used everyday in dental practice or, if more appropriate,
in which direction a dental practitioner can refer a patient.
Growing numbers of dental practitioners are referring patients
to specialists in alternative therapies. The aim of this book
is to make more people aware that alternative therapies have
a place in the practice of dentistry.
Since the formation of the British Homeopathic Dental Association
in 1989, interest in homeopathy or alternative methods of treatment
has grown considerably, and there are currently over 150 members.
Glasgow University also runs a very successful course in Homeopathy
for dentists. During the last decade, interests in TMJ Dysfunction
and associated headaches has grown, and dentists looking for
more effective ways of treating this syndrome are turning to
Cranial Osteopaths and Chiropracters. Also, the controversial
issue of the use of mercury in amalgam fillings is something
that is gaining more publicity, with patient pressure causing
dentists to look more closely at the role nutrition plays in
oral health.
The editor was the Chairman of the British Homeopathic Dental
Association until February 2001 and works for a very successful
holistic dental practice in London. He recruited a team of specialist
authors to contribute to the book.
