That's a Good Question

Dr. Manhart discusses a few topics that have come up during his 50+ year career.

When are dentists going to take Calcium Therapy seriously?

If my medical patients had Calcium Therapy they wouldn’t be so sick. I’ve seen it in patients. Calcium treatments can eliminate oral anaerobic bacteria. So if there’s any chance dentists can do that, they will become medical heroes. That was our plan: "Dentists Defeat Perio Disease". In 1985 we … [Read more...] about When are dentists going to take Calcium Therapy seriously?

Can a hygienist do Calcium Therapy?

Certainly, and it would make their practice far more pleasant, more accurate, safer, faster, more cost effective for both patient and hygienist who would become the primary professional in the elimination of periodontal disease. … [Read more...] about Can a hygienist do Calcium Therapy?

How can a dentist get a license without practicing Calcium Therapy?

We can practice anything within the field of dentistry as long as we feel confident in doing it. There are areas that may need special training and some I prefer not taking on, like complex surgeries and orthodontics. I have practiced those quite well and learned my limitations. As experts in … [Read more...] about How can a dentist get a license without practicing Calcium Therapy?

If I can do it, why do I have to teach my dentist to do it?

You don’t. When we were young dentists, dentistry had the most trust-worthy professionals of all professions. We listened to the old-timers who were against any sort of marketing of dental care. The family dentist learned to keep patients out of the dental chair, healthy at home. Now we see … [Read more...] about If I can do it, why do I have to teach my dentist to do it?

What do you mean your Calcium Therapy research was halted by your university?

in the 1970s as a Clinical Professor at the dental school I was not allowed to teach Calcium Therapy. In a few months, as a former clinical professor, I went to my other university’s Biology Dept. to study patients’ blood samples during Calcium Therapy. Those Professors were excited with our … [Read more...] about What do you mean your Calcium Therapy research was halted by your university?

That Calcium Therapy makes sense to me.

Why don’t dentists do it? Calcium Therapy is common sense, and we've spent decades using it on humans. Dental schools and organized dentistry have not allowed us to teach Calcium Therapy, even to adults. We hear all the excuses, so we teach it and share it, even on the Internet, since 1995. … [Read more...] about That Calcium Therapy makes sense to me.

Since the Calcium Therapy in Omaha, why should I go back to my home dentist?

Because you will need them at home, and you can help them work with us to solve problems to maintain your health. Omaha is a great place. Omaha never has bad weather, just bad clothes. So keep your wardrobe full. … [Read more...] about Since the Calcium Therapy in Omaha, why should I go back to my home dentist?

You mean I have to fly from Toronto to get Calcium Therapy?

What’s Canada, a third-world country? We now have a dentist in Canada you might rather fly to see. No, it’s not a third-world Canada, but more of an A-one Healthcare country. Teaching that brilliant dentist was an exceptional pleasure. … [Read more...] about You mean I have to fly from Toronto to get Calcium Therapy?

No one in Florida is interested in Calcium Therapy training?

Well! Give me an appointment with you in Omaha! Good, we’d be glad to see you at your convenience, even on a weekend. Calcium Therapy saves teeth, gums, bone, present dental work, at reasonable costs, and the patient’s dignity. … [Read more...] about No one in Florida is interested in Calcium Therapy training?

Who do you think you are, the worldwide experts, in Omaha?

Yes, even in Omaha, Nebraska. Our studies began in 1965 when we noticed there was little or no research on using calcium materials as a sealant in root canals nor on periodontal tissues, except in other countries. We looked into that and tested the available calcium compounds in simple, unique … [Read more...] about Who do you think you are, the worldwide experts, in Omaha?
