Introducing new holistic dentist Dr Ian Hedley!
Becca Crawford
For many of you who follow me on social media or have had health coaching sessions with me you will know that Dr Aushi Patel of Anokhi Dental (formerly known as Bio Compatible Dentistry) in Pitt Street Sydney, has been my holistic dentist of choice for over 15 years. Aushi has extensive knowledge of the work of Dr Weston A Price who himself was a dentist and did some ground breaking research in the early 1900’s regarding oral bacteria and general health. She believes that a healthy mouth requires good nutrition. Needless to say, we are on exactly the same nutritional and lifestyle page.
Aushi has reached full capacity and is not taking on new clients for at least 6 months. As a result Aushi is proud to introduce Dr Ian Hedley who joins the Anokhi Dental team from London where he was working as a holistic dentist. Like Aushi, Ian received his dental training at the world renowned Kings College Hospital and also has extensive knowledge about the work of Dr Weston A Price and its significance in dental and general health. Ian also follows these principles in his daily life. In fact, the pregnancy and birth of his first child was seen through following a Dr Weston A Price diet and he and his wife continue to follow these principles during the pregnancy of their second child!
Ian brings with him great expertise and a unique approach to dentistry in treating both children and adults. He initially trained as a physical therapist in San Diego, California where he operated his own private practice for almost 10 years. During this time he developed a special interest in jaw joint (TMJ) dysfunction, headaches and neck pain. This inspired him to train as a dental surgeon, allowing him to provide a more holistic treatment approach for his patients.
Ian is passionate about early intervention orthodontic and orthopaedic work for children. His special interest is to guide facial growth and enable the development of a broad wide smile, well developed face and healthy breathing patterns. He has been fortunate to have been inspired and mentored by some of the most progressive thinkers within this field.
Ian will be available to see patients on Mondays and Thursdays.
