We’re honored to share some exciting news. Blodgett Dental Care was recently featured on KATU’s AM Northwest, one of Portland’s most trusted lifestyle and health programs. This opportunity allowed us to share our philosophy of holistic, biological dentistry with a broader audience.
During the segment, we discussed how oral health plays a crucial role in overall wellness. We also explained why dentistry works best when it supports the body, not working against it.
Being highlighted by a respected local news outlet like KATU is meaningful to us. It validates what we strive to do every day. We provide thoughtful, patient-centered dental care that looks beyond teeth and gums and considers the body as a whole.

Why We Practice Holistic & Biological Dentistry
At Blodgett Dental Care, we believe dentistry should support overall health—not compromise it. Our approach is rooted in biological principles that recognize the connection between oral health and the rest of the body.
During our KATU interview, we discussed how unresolved dental infections can affect systemic health. We also explained how incompatible dental materials and chronic inflammation in the mouth may contribute to long-term health concerns.
That’s why our care focuses on identifying root causes. We use biocompatible materials whenever possible and create treatment plans that respect each patient’s unique biology. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all dentistry. Instead, we believe in informed, individualized care.
What Makes Blodgett Dental Care Different
Our feature on AM Northwest highlighted what sets our practice apart from conventional dental offices. We take a whole-body approach to oral health and prioritize long-term wellness.
At Blodgett Dental Care, we are proud to offer:
- Biological and holistic dental care designed to support whole-body wellness
- Metal-free, biocompatible materials whenever possible
- Root canal alternatives and cavitation care focused on eliminating hidden infections
- Ceramic dental implants and advanced restorative solutions
- A patient experience built around education, transparency, and trust
Every service we provide is guided by one core belief. Oral health should enhance, not hinder, a patient’s overall well-being.
A Growing Interest in Whole-Body Dental Health
We are seeing a growing number of patients seeking alternatives to traditional dentistry. Many are traveling to Portland specifically for biological dental care.
The response to our KATU feature reflects this shift. More people are asking questions, doing research, and learning how dentistry fits into their broader health journey.
We are grateful for platforms like AM Northwest. They allow us to educate the community and start meaningful conversations about prevention, inflammation, toxicity, and long-term wellness.
