Dr. Bernice Teplitsky, DDS, NMD - 2021 Women in Wellness

With a curiosity about health that started in grade school, optimal health and nutrition have always interested Dr. Bernice Teplitsky. Today, she is one of the only dentists in Chicago practicing comprehensive holistic dentistry. Dr. Bernice graduated from Marquette University with a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Science. Questioning the conventional teachings of dentistry, she then obtained Naturopathic Medical Doctor Board Certification and a degree in Integrative Biologic Dental Medicine. She bought Wrigleyville Dental, in Chicago, in 2012.

 Dr. Bernice and her team concentrate on patients’ total wellness, educating them in prevention while providing customized treatments for all ages. “By taking care of your teeth and gums through nutrition, proper oral hygiene, non-surgical gum therapy, proper breathing and using non-toxic, biocompatible materials, we can avoid both expensive future dental procedures and the need to battle illnesses down the road,” she explains. 

“Oral health is incredibly important to your overall health,” adds Dr. Bernice, who often works with patients’ other healthcare practitioners, creating an integrative team to optimize their wellness.

A dedicated, lifelong learner, Dr. Bernice supports her peers as president of the Holistic Dental Association. When not in the office, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her daughters and finding moments of happiness in every day.
