Holistic Dentist – How Mercury Affects the Body As Told by a Natural Dentist

As a Holistic Dentist practicing Natural Dentistry concepts my Exton dentist office is flooded with questions and comments such as…”Dr. Robbins, I am having trouble concentrating at my job. It is like my mind is foggy.”"My daughter is at college and keeps falling asleep. She can’t concentrate on one topic for long before she gets ‘mind fog’ and looses focus.”"I am forgetting little details when doing projects at work. My eyes don’t focus on the computer screen very long before I have to take a break.”Patients relate these and similar complaints-persistent muscle aches, daily tiredness regardless of how much sleep they get, odd sensations in their arms, legs, fingers, and toes- to me during their initial biosafe dental consultation in my integrative dental practice. Although these symptoms may have other causes, mercury exposure and the resulting mercury toxicity may be the root cause of the symptoms.All of us-patients and health care professionals alike-have been led to believe, from “experts” at the American Dental Association (ADA), that the silver colored mercury dental fillings in our teeth are safe and do not harm our health. That is a lie.When I first realized that mercury in the mouth, in any form, might not be safe, I began to research the scientific and medical studies outside of conventional dental authorities. That was twenty-five years ago. Since then, I have reviewed countless clinical and scientific studies which prove that mercury is a neurotoxin and that toxic mercury vapor is released from the amalgam fillings in teeth. That release of mercury vapor from amalgam fillings occurs all day and all night – 24/7. And the mercury vapor is released at high level-inside your head.What health authority could possibly claim that such exposure could be “safe”? Why is this powerful and insidious toxin is not making headline news? I am continually appalled and angry over the political cover-up of such an important health risk to the general public.Who’s at risk? Anybody who has mercury amalgams in their mouth is subjecting themselves to potentially harmful effects of mercury. Children, pregnant and nursing women are most at risk. In fact, some states have banned the use of mercury fillings unless the patient signs a release.Removal of mercury dental fillings without protecting the patient from exposure to mercury vapor is dangerous and all precautions should be taken. Before having your mercury fillings removed be sure to check with a Holistic Dentist, a Natural Dentist or Find a certified Biosafe Dentist In your area!

Natural dentistry- a boon for oral health

As a Natural Dentist I have noticed an increase in the awareness about the effects of toxins that the conventional dentistry plants in our bodies.

Health experts have always suggested regular visits to the dentist for the maintenance of their oral health. But the present conventional dentistry can add toxins to the human body. With increase in awareness, and also the growth in the market for natural dentistry now there have been many theories and practices that avoid using any such harmful substances.

A holistic approach is followed that says that the body is one unit and anything that affects one part also affects the other parts as well. To prevent bad oral health, you can use a waterpik oral irrigator system in place of flossing which can protect you from tooth decay and gum diseases. Natural dentistry is a mixture of scientifically proven holistic approach. This dentistry is not only good for you and your body but also for everyone around you as well.

There have been many serious discussions about the usage of mercury and fluoride toxicity and now people are switching to the natural and holistic approach rather than the traditional dentistry.

In the past, amalgam fillings that have equal parts of silver and mercury have been commonly used. But lately these have developed a bad reputation. The toxicity caused by mercury is known to cause neurological damages, weakening of the immune system, renal damage, blood cell disorders and serious ailments like multiple sclerosis, parkinson?s etc.

Even fluoride which has been introduced in toothpastes is among the top 20 materials that are most harmful materials. It is in fact the main ingredient in rat poison, and in pesticides.

Similar to mercury and fluoride, there are many other components as well which are used in conventional dentistry that are harmful to the human health. Therefore a holistic or a natural dentist will first remove the mercury fillings and then add such nutrition to the patient?s diet which will detoxify the effects of these elements.

As per the holistic and the natural approach, dietary and lifestyle changes to support a good oral health. The dentists following natural or holistic dentistry also emphasize the importance of mental, spiritual and physical well being so that the relation of the body and mouth is improved. There are many natural ways in which one can improve his oral health. Therefore one must follow Biosafe Dentistry for a safer and healthier oral health.
