Dental Acupuncture Near Katonah, NY
Effective, Reliable Pain Relief
Acupuncture is a holistic practice for pain relief that works with your body’s pain control mechanisms, stimulating the release of endorphins that block pain signals in the brain. It is so effective that we have some patients who prefer acupuncture treatment over local anesthetic. Many of our patients are comfortable with a local anesthetic and acupuncture used as an adjunct. For some, we will also use acupuncture in combination with nitrous oxide and/or oral sedation. As a holistic dental practice, we also employ acupuncture near Katonah, NY, in other ways.
How Your Mouth & Whole Body Are Connected
What’s happening in your mouth has a direct influence on the health of your whole body. Disruptions to the flow of energy through your mouth may affect remote regions of the body. What’s more, disruptions elsewhere may manifest in your mouth. These relationships are a result of communication between the Acupuncture Meridians and your teeth. We will treat your mouth considering the dental acupuncture relationships with your whole body for optimal health.
As an experienced dental acupuncturist and holistic dentist, Dr. Lerner will screen you for materials sensitivity. Additionally, he will screen for potential sensitivity to materials we are considering using in your treatment. The simplest test is to screen with Applied Kinesiology on acupuncture points to determine if your body might respond adversely to the material.
When necessary, we can also order blood tests such as a BioComp Screening for sensitivity to dental materials. This is similar to the Clifford Test, which is unavailable in New York state.
