Biography
Peter Varley BDSc, FDSRCS, MFHom(Dent) graduated as a dentist in 1975. He gained a Dental Fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons in 1981 before establishing a large holistic dental practice in Central London. He then completed the Membership in Dental Homœopathy in 1992

Peter has published a number of articles on dental homœopathy and complementary therapies and lectured throughout the UK and Europe. He has appeared on London radio discussing Homœopathy and written a book ‘Complementary Therapies in Dental Practice’. He is past Chairman of the British Homœopathic Dental Association and on the Editorial Board of ‘Homeopathy’.

Although he is one of the few dentists to be resident at the Royal London Homœopathic Hospital, his interests have always been broader. He has had formal training in Acupuncture, Cranial Osteopathy and Nutrition and maintains a strong belief in the link between general and dental health.

Peter continues his philosophy of holistic dentistry and has set up the first Australian Homœopathic Dental Practice in Collins St, Melbourne.
