About

Dr Dennis W. Bressack

Dr. Dennis Wayne Bressack was born September 15, 1947 in Brooklyn, NY and lived in North Bellmore, New York until he went to college. He graduated from University of Bridgeport in Bridgeport, Connecticut with a BA in Biology in 1969, and from Georgetown Dental School in Washington, DC, in 1973. He then served in the Indian Public Health Service on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in Newton, North Dakota from 1973-1974 and was the Health Director for the Shangrila Health Institute in Bonita Springs, FL from 1974-1975. From 1975-1996, he practiced holistic dentistry in Middletown, NY until an injury to his hand rendered him unable to continue.

He has been married for 17 years to his wife and business partner, Abby. They have 2 children, Noah, 29, from his first marriage, and, Justin, 17, a sophomore in high school. In 1996, they moved to Woodstock, New York, where he passionately maintains a 3000 sq. ft. organic garden to feed his 40-year vegetarian lifestyle.

For more than 45 years, he has been writing and reading poetry and short stories and has been published in numerous magazines and journals. His poetry website is http://www.dennisbressack.com/. He has also been writing articles on natural and holistic dentistry and lecturing on the subject.

Although he is retired from the practice of dentistry, he has still maintained his dental license and membership in several dental associations and organizations, including the ADA (American Dental Association), the HDA (Holistic Dental Association) and the IAMOT (International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology). Most recently, he has been involved in the study of Mind/Body Energy Medicine and Energy Psychology, especially EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). He earned his EFT Level 2 Practitioner Certificate and his EFT-Advanced Certification in 2008. He is a member of ACEP (Association of Comprehensive Energy Psychology), and is in the process of becoming a professional coach through the International Coach Academy (ICA).

In 2009, Dr. Bressack and his wife, Abby, produced the 3-DVD set called Freedom From Dental Fears, in which EFT Master Andy Bryce was videotaped doing one-hour EFT sessions with four volunteer patients who presented with moderate to severe dental phobias. They are powerful and compelling examples of how EFT can be used to reduce anxieties, fears and phobias. They are useful for patients, dentists, and dental staff and are perfect as an educational tool for EFT practitioners who want to see and learn from a true master at work.
