"They had chronic pain and problems with eating, speaking, and dental hygiene. In another review 10% of patients treated for cancer with zoledronic acid and 4% treated with pamidronate developed osteonecrosis of the jaw after three years of treatment. Most of the patients had dental problems, with dental surgeries that resulted in nonhealing bone." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Don't get dental sealants or silver amalgams (fillings) when pregnant. dental sealants can contain bisphenol A, a suspected endocrine disruptor, while traditional silver-colored fillings can contain as much as 50 percent mercury. But I don't advise getting any preexisting fillings removed, since the drilling part of the removal process can vaporize the mercury and actually increase your exposure to it. If you can't avoid dental work during this time, you should seriously investigate less toxic rilling materials, like porcelain and gold. Talk to your dentist about viable alternatives." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Studies also show that poor dental health—the presence of periodontal infections—itself has a negative impact on the ability to control blood glucose levels. In addition, poor oral and dental health is associated with an increased risk of other diabetic complications. To help prevent periodontal disease and diabetic complications, you need to make frequent visits to your dentist (more than twice a year) for professional plaque control and scaling and to follow the recommendations outlined in the second part of this book." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"Good Bones, Good Teeth Dental health when you're a child—and dental health throughout life—parallel what's happening in your bones. Your teeth—number, composition, and quality—are influenced by sufficient or insufficient protein, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D during fetal development and early childhood. When you're an adult, these nutrients and alkaline saliva help to maintain teeth and gum health. Albert came to see me at the Arthritis Institute because he was experiencing pain in his jaw and in many of his teeth, some loose teeth, and muscle and joint pains." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Most of the patients had dental problems, with dental surgeries that resulted in nonhealing bone. Although most of the cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw have been reported in patients with bone metastases or myelomas treated with intravenous bisphosphonates, there are now cases of patients who have taken the medication only for the "prevention of osteoporosis." This shows that there are those out there for whom there is little potential benefit and unfortunately much to lose in taking bisphosphonates." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"That hygiene ultimately won the day had as much to do with the needs of the dental profession as it did with good science; the problem of personal hygiene was easier, and THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM «l far more profitable, to address than that of the diet and entire food system.) In the 1930s, Price closed down his dental practice so he could devote all his energies to solving the mystery of the Western diet. He went looking for what he called control groups— isolated populations that had not yet been exposed to modern foods." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Patient has been addicted to narcotics which caused trouble with dental Board, DEA. Had terrible withdrawal—spent time in three rehabilitation centers. Ron was up front about his addiction problem and how it had led to difficulties with both the dental Board and the DEA several years earlier. The psychiatrist diagnosed his new patient with major depression, panic disorder, and "substance abuse—alcohol and drugs." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

It creates a natural ionic chemical reaction that separates the plaque from your teeth enamel and removes tobacco, coffee and other stains using the natural attraction of ions." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Mercury fillings The American dental Association has resolutely maintained for years that "when mercury is combined with the metals used in dental amalgam, it's toxic properties are made harmless." If this were ttue, it would be miraculously fortuitous. Amalgam, which consists of mercury, silver, tin, copper, and a trace amount of zinc, has been used by dentists for well over several hundred years—as far back, actually, as the 7th century in China. Here in the United States, mercury-based fillings made their appearance in the early 1800s." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "Also, for what it's worth, with better dental care and by following the dietary principles outlined in this book, you should never have to face the need for a root canal. Incidentally, if you already have a root canal and need to have it removed, it is not enough to simply have it pulled. It is almost a surety that the bacteria have migrated to the bone and tissues adjacent to the tooth's root." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"PERIODONTAL DISEASE: In a study that appeared in the Journal of the American dental Association, a component of cranberry juice was demonstrated to have the ability to stop bacteria from adhering to teeth and gums, thus reducing dental plaque and periodontal disease. Tips on Using Cranberries SELECTION AND STORAGE: • Purchase prepackaged in plastic bags. Look for plump, firm, and bright berries. • Besides raw cranberries, you can also purchase dried (usually sweetened), juice (sweetened and unsweetened), sauce, jelly, and even cranberry supplements." - David W.

"The increased prevalence of dental problems, including periodontitis (bacterial destruction of the bone and tissue supporting the teeth), abscesses, gingivitis (inflamed gums), dry mouth, and soft tissue lesions, among people with prediabetes or diabetes is associated with oxidative stress, glycation-induced damage, and increased risk of infection in gum tissue. Glycotoxins damage blood vessels, collagen, and other tissues and thus compromise the health of the gums and teeth." - Steven V.

"Mercury leads the pack in the potency of its toxicity and in the pervasiveness of it presence in the environment through fish, air, and water, medicine through vaccines, and dentistry with dental amalgams. Some say we are all receiving, just through our air, water, and food about a microgram of mercury a day. Sounds like a little until you calculate that a microgram contains 3,000 trillion atoms with each of them holding the potential to deactivate insulin and the receptor sites crucial to their function." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"In addition, poor oral and dental health is associated with an increased risk of other diabetic complications. To help prevent periodontal disease and diabetic complications, you need to make frequent visits to your dentist (more than twice a year) for professional plaque control and scaling and to follow the recommendations outlined in the second part of this book. ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION Erectile dysfunction (also known as sexual dysfunction or an inability to attain and maintain an erection) affects 51." - Steven V.

"If you need major dental work, such as a crown, root canal, bridge, or implant, it is best to seek an alternative dentist who uses the least-harmful dental procedures available. Additionally, cleanse the liver and kidneys, and drink tea made from liver herbs (see above recipe) for 10 days after replacing a filling. 21. Bring Balance to Your Emotional Health On a deeper level, every physically manifested ailment is an imbal-anced emotion. Emotions are signals of comfort or discomfort that our body sends us at every moment of our conscious existence." - Andreas Moritz, The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.)

"This produces an electrical current that flows though the body and breaks down the amalgam, releasing higher levels of mercury vapor, and in some cases causing headaches, pain, and tremors. dental bleaching can make this situation worse because bleaching agents can further increase the release of mercury from those fillings over time. If you don't eat fish and have been one of the lucky few to have avoided cavities, you may still have mercury in your body as a result of any of the following other sources: ?vaccines ? disinfectants ?fluorescent lightbulbs ? skin creams ?thermostats and ?" - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"People with nickel-tainted hair tend to have nickel in their dental alloys or fillings. Nickel is even more sinister than the more well-publicized mercury, which is also a sensitizer. There is nickel in the braces that kids wear, and they can pick up nickel in their systems that way. "Doctors who don't test their patients for toxicities and allergens are getting a limited view of their patients," Dr. Kunin concludes. " - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "Patient Story: A Single dental Filling_ A Russian immigrant who had no fillings got a single filling when she was 20. She came to me at 22 with a shopping hag full of medicine. She didn't know what was wrong. She couldn't think. She was nauseated and sick all the time. When I asked her when it started, she said two years before. I looked into her mouth, and saw the single filling. I asked which had come first, the filling or the illness. And she said, "Oh my God. It was three months after the filling was put in that I got sick." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "We get cadmium from our food, air, and water; mercury from dental fillings and shellfish; and aluminum and excess iron from pots and pans. Many of the metals that are brought into the body are toxic to the brain and to central nervous system tissue. They interfere with normal metabolism by disrupting enzyme systems. "According to the standard textbook in the field, there have been reports of increased aluminum in the bulk of brain tissue in Alzheimer's patients and, more recently, associations of aluminum with neurofibrillary tangles and neuritic plaques." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "But instead, the dental industry has turned it around and said, 'No, you have to prove it is unsafe.' Charlemagne said, 'If the populace knew with what idiocy they were ruled, they would revolt.' That goes for some of the things that they do in dentistry, too." Research in recent years continues to demonstrate the devastating effects of mercury from fillings as well as other sources. Over the past decade, scientific studies have concluded that "millions of children across the world may have been mentally damaged after being exposed to low levels of mercury before they were born." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Cadmium sources include tap water, fungicides, marijuana, processed meat, rubber, seafood (cod, haddock, oyster, tuna), sewage, tobacco, colas (especially from vending machines), tools, welding material, evaporated milk, airborne industrial contaminants, batteries, instant coffee, incineration of tires/rubber/plastic, refined grains, soft water, galvanized pipes, dental alloys, candy, ceramics, electroplating, fertilizers, paints, motor oil, and motor exhaust." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Another pilot study of EFT examined its effects on patients about to undergo dental surgery Research confirms that about one in three people experience moderate to severe anxiety when confronted with dental treatment. After EFT, 100% of patients in the study reported a decrease in anxiety.7 Another study examined the EEG patterns of claustrophobic patients when they were confined in a small, metal-lined enclosure similar to an elevator, and compared them with a control group. It found that they had high concentrations of Theta waves, as well as getting high scores on an anxiety test." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"If you can't avoid dental work during this time, you should seriously investigate less toxic rilling materials, like porcelain and gold. Talk to your dentist about viable alternatives. Make intelligent choices about personal-care products. When you're pregnant, you shouldn't use any personal-care product that might harm your fetus, and that includes cosmetics. Your moisturizer, makeup, and deodorant all might be exposing your child to harmful chemicals. Go to www.cosmeticdatabase.com for a list of safe, and not so safe, personal-care products and cosmetics." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This!

"To measure your bone density, you can have an X-ray test that uses less radiation than dental X-rays. It determines the amount of mineral in your bones—your bone mineral density, also called BMD or bone mass. Your test result is called a T-score—a measure of how far above or below you are compared to your peak bone mass." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "Histories of infections or malignancy, breast-feeding, dental problems, kidney stones, and childhood residences are now relevant pieces of the puzzle. I make it clear to my patients that all of their problems are connected and that they have control over their health. After fixing their vitamin D and diet deficiencies, many people report dramatic changes in the way they feel. Not only do they eliminate all the pain they've been suffering for years, they're also losing weight and lowering their blood pressure. Everyone is shocked by the simplicity of the solution." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "And many were also obese and had high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, and/or dental problems. Most people, including physicians, would routinely attribute these symptoms and diseases to aging or genetics. They would say that time and genes were just running their course. I would routinely dispense a diagnosis and then send patients down the symptom-curbing path of anti-inflammatory drugs, pain medications, antidepressants, and sleep aids." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)
