Mercury Free Dentists

Warning

Mercury fillings (the silver gray or black fillings that millions of people have in their mouths) are highly toxic, and in my opinion should immediately be banned. Mercury amalgam fillings are responsible for many serious and apparently chronic diseases Mercury Poisoning

White composite fillings are only slightly more expensive than mercury amalgam fillings, but require more skill to insert. If your dentist argues that white composite fillings are too weak and short-lived to use, find another dentist. Composite fillings performed by a skilled dentist will last virtually as long as any others. I personally feel that a dentist who is not capable of doing composite fillings should not be allowed to practice.

If you and your dentist decide to go ahead with a mercury amalgam filling, I suggest you ask your dentist for a written and signed conformation that mercury amalgam fillings are safe and will not harm you.

How to save your teeth

● Eliminate sugar. If you eat no sugar whatsoever, your teeth will stop rotting (politely called dental decay). People who never have sugar from the youngest age (as on many traditional diets) keep a full and healthy set of teeth all their lives.

● Clean your teeth properly. You do not need to brush your teeth after every meal if you enjoy healthy no-sugar food and drink. It is much better to thoroughly clean your teeth once per day, or even every few days. Proper cleaning takes several minutes. Flossing is the most important part of cleaning your teeth. Also brush them gently and thoroughly, up and down rather than backwards and forwards. (Brush from your gums towards the top of each tooth.)

● Minimal dental treatment. Most conventional dental techniques (see below) lead to the death of the tooth and several procedures are the source of an ongoing source of infection or toxins in your body.

It is often preferable to have a tooth PROPERLY removed rather than suffer a root canal, bridge or insert. However, this is a difficult and personal decision, because nobody wants a gap in their mouth when they smile. Another reason to keep a tooth if possible is that the removal of certain teeth in the arch can result in the re-distribution of occlusal (chewing) forces. The opposing tooth will no longer have regular pressure from chewing on it, and can deteriorate. Other symptoms can even include headaches or ear aches.

● Other factors such as hydration, diet and exercise discussed in Grow Youthful will ensure that you have sweet breath, healthy gums and minimal ongoing deterioration of your teeth.

We are looking for dentists who:

● do NOT recommend mercury amalgam fillings
● are very reluctant to do root canals
● are very reluctant to do bridges
● do NOT recommend inserts (a metal post drilled into the jawbone, and used as a base for a false tooth)
● acknowledge the debilitating effect on your health and the hastening death of your teeth from the above four procedures
● are very reluctant to do crowns, and acknowledge that a crown is the beginning of the end of a tooth. Instead, they would recommend an inlay or an onlay
● are competent with bonding, and use bonding and veneering techniques in preference to traditional fillings
● have experience removing mercury fillings and are aware of the toxicity of mercury vapour when removing mercury fillings, and would use a dental dam
● have experience with performing extractions without leaving cavitations (alveolar cavitational osteopathosis) ie holes left from incompletely extracted teeth which never heal properly, don't fill with bone, and remain as an ongoing source of infection, often for the rest of your life
