I have always felt a certain calling toward medicine. At the age of eight, I used to play surgeon, opening up lizards and examining their internal organs. When I was eleven, I went to the dentist for the first time and was so fascinated by everything that I realized then why I had been born. Between 2005 and 2006, I was working as a dentist in Peterborough when I came across a book that would change the course of my life. The book was called Whole-Body Dentistry by Mark Breiner. The concepts expressed in that book were in stark contrast with what I had been taught at university and with the dentistry I was practicing, but they were so fascinating and logical that I couldn’t resist reading the next chapter. In the meantime, I had developed a kind of hives all over my body, which I began to attribute to the mercury I was inhaling while placing silver fillings, and I placed a lot of them. When I returned to Italy, I stopped using amalgam, and after a few weeks, the hives disappeared.
Was that a coincidence? It took me years to fully process and understand what I had read in that book. Gradually, I began to challenge the norm and offer my patients what I had come to believe. The real turning point came when I met Dr. Ulrich Volz, who helped me embrace the most advanced approach to biological dentistry. In 2018, I founded Biohealth Holistic Dentistry, bringing in my wife, Dr. Paola Aguilar, who shares my philosophy and, like me, has undergone biological dentistry treatments to optimize her own health. The benefits we have both experienced have been so remarkable that we feel a duty to offer the same to others.
Today, now in our fifties, we feel better than we did at 25.
