Your One-Stop-Shopping for All Information on Dental Health

This site was formerly the dental practice website of Dr. Richard J. Walicki, DMD.

For nearly 30 years, Dr. Walicki practiced dentistry at an office on Allegheny Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That practice was sold in January, 2018.

This site is now devoted to disseminating Dr. Walicki's vast wealth of information concerning not only dental health, but factors supporting an individual's general health.

Feel free to browse this site, search it, or read more about Dr. Walicki.

Got a question? Feel free to write to Dr. Walicki using this form. While we can't respond to all individual emails, if your question is one which we feel would be pertinent to our readers, we will post content on this site which is responsive.
