1674 Great Oral Health with Dr. Paul O'Malley DDS, FABD, FIADFE : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran

With over 30 years of experience in dentistry, Dr. O'Malley developed a deep passion for minimally invasive, biological, and holistic care - an approach he continues to practice at his California-based office.

"We are changing the face of oral health across the planet, one smile at a time." And with that vision, Great Oral Health was born. http://greatoralhealth.com/
