At Wellness Based Dentistry
clients are receiving dental care that preserves more than their teeth. With
a strong belief that the mouth indicates the general well-being of the whole
body, Dr. Dana Colson, along with her associates, is bringing together leading-edge
technology and natural medicine to give clients award-winning smiles that enhance
their lives.
In her own words:
Having graduated from Dentistry in 1977 from the University of Toronto, I was
fascinated with how the health of the body was reflected in the mouth.
My interest in dentistry
stemmed from my fear of dentists. I chose the profession of dentistry because
I was determined to overcome my fear of dentistry and help others. The more
I learned about the art and science the more my fears diminished. I believe
that our clients need to be provided with significant information about their
mouth and the various options that are available to them so that we can co-diagnose
and co-explore the different opportunities together.
Over the years I received my Fellowship at the Academy of General Dentistry
in 1987 along with several thousand hours in continuing education courses.
Some of these include:
Advanced Dental
Education at the Pankey Institute, Completed Levels 1-6
Post graduate education in: Crown and Bridge, Prosthetics, Occlusion,
Orthodontics,
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
Kinesiology
Craniosacral
Reikki
Heavy metal (mercury) toxicity.
Acupuncture at the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada.
