About Dr. Tiffany K. Shields, DMD

Dr. Tiffany K. Shields, DMD operates on San Jose Park Drive in the Goodby's Creek area of Jacksonville, Florida. Holistic, or biological, dentistry applies standard dental diagnosis and treatment within an approach that emphasises material choice and conservative treatment, considering oral health as connected to the body more broadly rather than treating the mouth in isolation.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost. You can reach Dr. Tiffany K. Shields, DMD through this page to ask a question, check current availability, or request an appointment.

Are holistic dentists still trained in regular dentistry?
Yes. A holistic practice is a licensed dental practice that has chosen a particular philosophy around materials and conservative treatment — it is not a separate qualification, and standard diagnosis and treatment still apply.
Do holistic dentists use fillings without mercury?
Practices describing themselves this way typically favour tooth-coloured composite and ceramic materials over amalgam. If material choice is your reason for choosing a practice, it is worth confirming directly what they use.
What happens during a routine dental examination?
The dentist checks the teeth for decay, examines the gums, looks at any existing fillings and crowns, and screens the soft tissues. X-rays are taken when there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth.

Myers Ped Dentistry (who I also rave about) referred me over a decade ago. I’ve had many fillings, cleanings, X-rays, ozone treatment, exams, safe amalgam removal and even a crown under Shields care! Sarah at the front is irreplaceable, always greeted with her sweet smile. Diana helped with prioritizing and sorting all my treatment plan. Ivey, my hygienist, is incredibly thorough and gentle, making every cleaning a breeze. Emily, the esthetician, provides treatments such as the microneedling using top-notch numbing topical that leave me feeling refreshed and glowing. The entire team truly prioritizes wellness and patient comfort. I always leave feeling confident in the care I’ve received. Highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for exceptional, holistic care!

An amazing holistic dentistry group. The entire team is top notch especially Dr Shields. Her staff is amazing, her practice is levels above most dentists, the technology is state of the art yet her approach is grounded in tried and tested experience of what it truly means to have healthy teeth and a healthy body. I highly recommend her and thevteam there.

I wanted to ask them some questions before becoming a patient but when I call, I always get their voicemail. I left message two days ago, no call back. I try again within office hours and outside of lunch hours, but I get the voicemail again. I guess they won't be receiving my business.

My family absolutely loves Dr. Shields and her entire staff. We’ve never had a bad experience and have always been treated extraordinarily well. Not only are we treated well, but the staff cares about our wellness and ensures safety and care with every visit. We’ve had her correct a mistake from a conventional dentist (oh gosh - please avoid conventional dentists), and she is current in the process of removing my toxic amalgam fillings. Would recommend Dr. Shields office to anyone looking for any dental needs.

The staff is really friendly!! I'm not a fan of the dentist, but they put me at ease. Dr. Shields, was very gentle and considerate as she fixed my tooth. I will definitely make an appt in the future for a cleaning, because I appreciated the respect that was given to me, even with my extreme anxiety of dentists.

My first visit with Dr. Shields was fantastic. To have a dentist take the time to sit down with you to discuss your health right off the bat is pretty much unheard of, so I was surprised in a good way that she wanted to hear about my health and lifestyle. I love her whole-body approach to dentistry, which is quickly becoming what everyone wants from their healthcare! Everyone at the office is courteous and made me feel comfortable and welcomed. Highly recommend!
