Natural Smiles, a leading holistic dental practice in St. Petersburg, is proud to announce the appointment of renowned integrative health expert Dr. Joseph Mercola as its new medical director. Known globally for his work in natural health and wellness, Dr. Mercola will collaborate with Dr. Carlo Litano, founder and owner of Natural Smiles of Tampa Bay, to further enhance, strengthen and advance the practice’s commitment to holistic, patient-centered care.

With more than four decades of pioneering work in medicine, nutrition and wellness, Dr. Mercola is a prominent board-certified Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), best-selling author and the founder of Mercola.com. A renowned leader in integrative health, he is recognized for his groundbreaking approach to preventive care and dedication to advancing natural health, earning him global recognition as a trusted expert. Dr. Mercola’s expertise brings a new dimension to Natural Smiles, enhancing its comprehensive services to further optimize patient care. This collaboration reflects the practice’s commitment to blending cutting-edge dental care with holistic health principles.

“Dr. Mercola’s extensive background in integrative health is a tremendous asset to our practice,” shares Dr. Litano. “His unique perspective will help us expand our offerings, providing patients with a level of care that goes beyond traditional dentistry to improve both their dental and overall health.”

Natural Smiles stands at the forefront of holistic dentistry, recognizing the deep connection between oral health and overall well-being. Unlike traditional practices, it emphasizes how dental care impacts the entire body. The practice uses non-toxic, biocompatible materials, avoiding harmful chemicals and ensuring safe, mercury-free dentistry. They also specialize in safe amalgam removal using advanced protocols to protect patients from mercury exposure.

In addition to these foundational principles, Natural Smiles offers unique treatments like ceramic dental implants—a metal-free alternative that is biocompatible and more aligned with holistic philosophies. The practice also utilizes ozone therapy, a cutting-edge method that disinfects and promotes healing naturally—without harsh chemicals.

Under Dr. Mercola’s guidance, Natural Smiles will expand its focus on nutrition and lifestyle changes, integrating them into dental care to further support both oral and systemic health. By combining top-tier dental services with integrative health strategies, Natural Smiles is creating a holistic environment where treatments are aligned with the body’s natural healing processes. This partnership establishes Natural Smiles as a premier destination for patients seeking dental care that not only addresses oral health but also contributes to their overall wellbeing.
