Addressing your overall well-being from the mouth down

In Biological Dentistry a whole-body approach is applied to patient health. Through avoidance and removal of toxic dental materials, nutrition and natural medicine, biological dentistry can be used to successfully treat disease and promote overall health and well-being.

More about Silver-Mercury Amalgams

Did you know that mercury is the most toxic, non-radioactive element on earth? Perhaps even more shocking is the fact that the “silver” amalgam commonly used in dental fillings is actually composed of 50% mercury (an amalgam by definition is an alloy of mercury and another substance). This alloy originally became favored in dentistry for its durability and affordability. Today, despite all the knowledge we know have about mercury, millions of silver-mercury fillings are still placed each year.

Clearly there is something wrong with this picture. Wouldn’t you agree? Well you’re not alone. There are now many medical and scientific researchers who have called for a ban on the use of mercury for any and all purposes. Despite overwhelming evidence of the potential harmful effects of mercury fillings, the U.S. Government has thus far ignored the issue.

Significant research and study has been conducted on the subject, yielding alarming results. These studies have classified mercury as a poisonous substance, which can cause adverse effects upon the digestive, immune, respiratory, urinary and cardiac systems. There have also been tests demonstrating that mercury –under certain conditions – is capable of producing brain cell deterioration identical to that seen in Alzheimer’s patients.

A personal approach to dental health

Like many individuals, you may think that there are only one or two options when it comes to the materials that can be used in dental fillings. In actual fact there are thousands of options your dentist can choose from. Apart from silver amalgams, there are many other dental materials that can cause respiratory difficulties, headaches and other physical issues, for certain patients.

In Biological Dentistry, blood work and other testing is used to identify which materials are compatible with your body and which may cause adverse reactions. This is just one example of how Biological Dentistry can help patients to improve their overall health and avoid later issues.
