Dr. Jung’s Revolutionary “Three Legs of the Healing Stool” Philosophy
At Central Park Dental & Orthodontics, Dr. Jung has pioneered a groundbreaking approach to oral health and whole-body wellness through her innovative “Three Legs of the Healing Stool” philosophy. This comprehensive methodology recognizes that true healing requires addressing three interconnected pillars:
1. Structural Balance (Alignment) – Body alignment and oral structural alignment, including precise tooth positioning for optimal function
2. Chemical Balance in the Body – Addressing toxicity and optimizing your body’s internal chemical environment for healing
3. Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual Balance – Recognizing the profound connection between your mental state and physical health
Just as a three-legged stool requires all legs to remain stable, optimal health depends on balancing these three essential pillars. Dr. Jung’s approach goes beyond traditional dentistry to address root causes, not just symptoms, helping patients throughout Mansfield, Arlington, Burleson, and the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area achieve lasting wellness.
Save Teeth. Save Lives.
Breathe Better. Sleep Better. Live Better.
The Teeth are a Gateway to your Well-Being.
Every Tooth Speaks to our Body.

Integrative Care Philosophy in Action
Dr. Jung’s commitment to whole-body wellness extends beyond traditional dental care. Her “Three Legs of the Healing Stool” philosophy guides every treatment decision, ensuring that:
- Structural assessments consider not just tooth alignment but total body posture, jaw position, and airway function
- Chemical balance evaluations address oral pH, bacterial balance, and systemic inflammatory factors
- Emotional wellness support recognizes how stress, anxiety, and mental health impact oral health and healing
This comprehensive approach often involves collaboration with chiropractors, physical therapists, functional medicine practitioners, nutritionists, and other wellness professionals to ensure optimal outcomes for her patients.
Because of Dr. Jung’s commitment to Teeth and Whole Body Health, she spoke at the Empowering Women and Girls to Thrive Summit at the United Nations on July 31, 2024, and received The President’s Volunteer Service Award.
