About María José

María José Rodríguez Luna completed her studies at the Evangelical University of El Salvador, where her graduation thesis focused on hypnosis-based treatments. She began her professional career as a conventional dentist in 2005, using the standard methods of the time, including dental amalgams, fluoride, and antibiotics.

At that stage in her career, María José firmly believed that the stronger the medication, the better the treatment. Her primary goal was to prevent patient suffering and minimize the risk of infection, which led her to rely on highly invasive procedures and the strongest available pain medications.

However, a life-changing event completely transformed both her personal and professional path. At a relatively young age, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Unwilling to depend on daily medication for the rest of her life, as she had been prescribed, María José embarked on a new journey of learning and self-healing.

This search for well-being led her to holistic and alternative medicine, where she began to understand that conventional medicine often focuses on treating disease rather than caring for the person as a whole. She realized that many treatments offer short-term solutions without supporting long-term, sustainable health.

Driven by this new awareness, María José founded her own clinic, Equilibrio Dental, with the intention of offering a more conscious and integrative approach to oral health. Biological dentistry, in contrast to conventional dentistry, focuses on providing safer treatments by eliminating or minimizing the use of materials that may cause toxicity or contribute to disease. Whenever possible, biocompatible and low-toxicity alternatives are prioritized.

At Equilibrio Dental, care is guided by the understanding that everything in the human body is interconnected. While science is still in the early stages of fully understanding the relationship between body, mind, and emotions, this integrative approach allows for more personalized and comprehensive care.

The clinic combines dentistry with Traditional Chinese Medicine, homeopathy, therapeutic-grade essential oils, and dental materials free of fluoride and mercury, while also incorporating complementary therapies such as neural therapy, ozone therapy, intravenous therapies, and high-dose vitamin C, among others.

María José has never stopped studying. Her commitment to continuous education has taken her to Europe, Central America, and South America, where she completes multiple training programs each year to continually refine her skills and knowledge.

Her mission is to help patients find balance in body, mind, and soul, promoting conscious oral health, a healthier life, and graceful, dignified aging.
