I know you know how I feel about mercury, so I guess it’s time to teach you a little bit about fluoride. Back in the day when the word “fluoride” was said, people would immediately think “strong, healthy teeth.” But now I need to retrain your brains to think “poison” when you hear the word “fluoride.” More and more studies are showing that ingesting fluoride not only causes fluorosis (white or dark stains on your teeth that will not go away no matter how often you brush and floss) but it can also lower a child’s IQ! Once again the … Continue reading “Fluoride is NOT good for us!”

So as you all know, amalgam mercury (silver) fillings are poisonous! We all really need to spread the word so that people start understanding this. Believe it or not, there are still so many dentists that use amalgams in their practices! However, there are several groups that are trying very hard to put an end to this. As a matter of fact, a lawsuit was filed in March 2014 in the DC District Federal Court against the FDA! Despite growing evidence of harm caused by dental amalgam, the FDA continues to delay its decision to protect public health against the … Continue reading “Suing the FDA”

Starting now, I promise to get better with my blogging. I have so many interesting dental facts that I really want to share with you and I need to take more time to do just that. As you may or may not know, I am a member of the IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology). I am passionate about spreading the word about the mercury/amalgam fillings that you may have in your mouth- THEY ARE POISONOUS!

When you go to the dentist to have an old mercury silver filling removed, the typical scenario is  the dentist numbs the tooth  and then drills out the old filling.  The dentist may have a paper mask and gloves on, but what is happening when the old mercury filling is being removed , is that there is a spray of mercury vapor and particulate that is a major plume coming out of your mouth.  This mercury vapor plume is very poisonous.  Both the dentist, the assistant, and you the patient, are breathing this plume of mercury vapor.  Of course, as … Continue reading “What is safe mercury removal”

All Dentists have been taught ,in the last 180 years, the use of a dental material  that has been considered inexpensive and long-lasting.  This fact according to the American dental Association is the reason that even today the majority of dentists use this material which is over 50% mercury.  According to the American dental Association when Mercury is mixed with silver and a few other trace metals that the amalgam is inert.  There has never been any scientific proof that this statement could be correct. This has been a very controversial issue ever since, 180 years ago, the dental amalgam … Continue reading “Why Dental Amalgam”

I had a patient in the chair the other day with a loose Crown. The crown was only a year and a half old and it was on an implant. This happened to be a Cerec crown that I made on this implant. I tried to remove the crown in the traditional manner which is with the use of a Crown remover. This however did not work so I cut the crown split open and took it out. What I found was the abutment or post as people might refer to it had come loose and all I needed to … Continue reading “Loose CEREC Crown”
