Dr John Roberts
Holistic Dentistry Ambassador
Dr John Roberts was born in Liverpool, England and qualified in Dentistry at Leeds University 1981. After a brief period in NHS dental care John started his own practice in 1987. This new practice allowed John to create a more holistic approach to dental care, including mercury free, mercury safe restorative care, non-extraction orthodontics whilst prioritising preventive dental hygiene for general health. He was an early adopter of myofunctional therapy.
Always learning John has significant non dental training, including cranial osteopathy, homeopathy, Kinesiology, nutrition and many other alternative health practices. From 2000-2002 John studied part-time in Washington DC and achieved a second medical degree in Integrative Medicine.
John’s new Integrative Dental and Health practice opened in 2003 for collaboration between dentist and other complementary health practitioners. It was a UK leading model for dental care being part of a health care team.
John moved back to a more holistic dental clinic in 2017 and now works independently in several dental practices in England and Scotland in conjunction with complementary health practitioners delivering Dentistry for Health and Healing. As his career has evolved John now lectures in the UK and abroad on the structural link between dentistry, breathing, swallowing, posture, sleep and whole body health.
