A Personal Note from Dr. Tom


I've communicated with Dr. Short and agree with her approach to mercury safe, holistic dentistry. I consider her to be an extraordinarily dedicated, highly trained, experienced and compassionate holistic dentist. If I lived in Seattle I would love to have her as my dentist.

I am very impressed with the depth of her knowledge and understanding about the critically important relationship of oral to overall health and her ongoing effort to educate her patients. She also utilizes this knowledge when designing a health based treatment plan for her patients.

Her concern for her patients health, her on-going training in holistic, cosmetic and traditional dentistry; along with her commitment to safely remove amalgam fillings makes her ideally suited to remove and replace them. I am especially impressed with her environmentally friendly approach to her dental practice and I recommend her to anyone seeking a caring holistic and mercury-free and mercury-safe dentist.

Dr. Short has been mentored by Dr. Paul Rubin, a fantastic dentist and one of the pioneers in mercury safe dentistry. She is also a Charter Member of my International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD). I encourage you to visit her website to learn more about her philosophy of healthy, eco-friendly dentistry. When you visit her office please tell her where you found out about her and say hello to her for me. Thanks!
