I went to Lori Cardellino and had an excellent experience getting my teeth cleaned with her. I sent two friends to her who had their mercury amalgams removed and both of them were able to do the removals without anesthesia and with no pain. That is how skilled Dr. Cardellino is as a dentist. She also charged very little for her services.
It is too bad that when you google with her, this report comes up. There are not enough holistic dentists out there, even less who are affordable. She has a brusque personality, but it didn't bother me. People should know that she's an excellent dentist offering a holistic alternative to traditional dentistry.

My back upper tooth started to ache after an hour cell phone conversation. I went to my regular dentist and she told me to get a root canal. I said, no, so she referred me to another dentist that said I need two root canals....
I researched and found Dr. Cardellino and liked the holistic approach to dental care.
Dr Cardellino inspected by aching tooth and discovered that I had a metal crown with porcelain. The metal acts as a magnet to radiation.... so the hour on the cell phone pressed up next to my cheek and the 2 X-rays were intensifing the situation. She recommended taking off the metal/porcelain crown and fitting a temporary. She explained that the metal is blocking my meridian energy. Upon removing the crown I instantly felt better and improved to fit a new procelain crown.
I liked Dr. Cardellino's approach to a holistic way of self healing. After doing some extensive research I would never, never get a root canal. Any denstis that recommends a root canal, I would run the other way. Lots of problems with root canals.
Dentistry needs to be more progressive in the way of nutrition, self healing and awareness of toxic metals that harm your body. Dr. Cardellino is ahead of her time. I would highly recommend her.

I have had a ton of dental work over the years and worked with dentists that did terrible work and had horrible bedside manner and I have worked with some of what were considered the best including professors from USC and UCLA Dental Schools. I have found all to be a bit of a crap shoot in the past, having complications arise from even those who were considered to be the best. I recently chose to consider holistic dentistry, and the costs I found out there were astronomical. I found Lori through an associate, and not only was she extremely knowledgable, she was also the most affordable. Her explanation for this to me was that she has made it her mission to get these important treatments out there to as many people as she can at an affordable rate. I experienced her to be extremely heartfelt.
While I can agree that her demeanor could come across as terse to some, I do not mind this as I have known many in medical practice to be this way. I found her to be exceptional at administering anesthesia. She also felt very precise in her work to me. Contrary to many dentists I have worked with, She was also very explanatory that after these procedures, bites can change and need to be remedied sometimes after the fact, do to numbness and also to the difference that bites may take just when we stand up, from laying down. She requested that I notify her and come in as soon as possible, should this happen.
I would reccomend her to all of my closest friends and family and am grateful for her, her staff, and the work that she is doing. I am sorry that you had a challenging and painful experience as I have been for my own in the past, with numerous route canals, crown lengthening etc..., but I also take responsibility for the dental hygeine my parents and I had that created the problem as well as the over agressive dentists I went to in my earlier years. I have since learned a lot, and Lori presents herself to be one of the most conservative I have found thus far which to me is of the utmost importance to me now. Blessings.
