 About
Sheila Wolf (Mama Gums)
Sheila Wolf, known affectionately by her patients
and colleagues as Mama Gums, has been a dental hygienist since
1971, and has helped many hundreds of patients save teeth
that were considered "hopeless."
Through education, encouragement, and a non-surgical
approach to treating gum infections (“Keyes
Technique”), she has enabled them to not only take
control of their oral health, but their full body health as
well. She has taught people the techniques, refined their
skills, and advised on the use of many holistic "medications"
that empowered them to accomplish what other dental professionals
did not think possible.
