"Healthy Teeth: A User's Manual, reflect the opinion of many dentists when they say that holistic dentists "seem to be more interested in medical than dental procedures, and health claims made by holistic dentists seem clearly beyond the boundaries or competence of dental practice." Dentists who consider themselves to be holistic or biologic, however, disagree.

"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. From the beginning, there were a number of dentists who were concerned by the presence of mercury, since by that time it was fairly well known that mercury was poisonous." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"First, that isolated populations eating a wide variety of traditional diets had no need of dentists whatsoever.

"The continued use of mercury in the mouths of human beings by dentists will, I believe, someday be viewed as one of the greatest medical mistakes of modern times. Yet the American Dental Association continues to support this practice, and thousands of dentists across the country continue to put this extremely toxic heavy metal directly into the mouths of adults and children alike. It's one of the most insane practices in dentistry, and yet it continues unabated. They are not even called mercury fillings. dentists refer to them as silver fillings or amalgam fillings." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"The early governing body of American dentists, however, disapproved of using this toxic quacksilver. They coined another new phrase of the era, by calling the dentists who used it "quacks." Until around the mid-1900s, it was a popular practice among the general public to use minute amounts of mercury as an antibacterial agent, in products such as Mercurochrome and Merthiolate, but this fell out of favor, due primarily to issues of toxicity and the burning of the skin. Mercury, however, has enjoyed its greatest success as a preservative used in vaccinations." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "The majority of dentists do not believe that mercury amalgams cause any appreciable problems, but many other dentists and physicians do not agree with that perspective. In my opinion, these amalgams can be harmful, depending primarily upon the metabolic status of each individual, and secondarily, upon the number and amount of fillings. Many people can tolerate exposure to low levels of mercury in dental fillings, partly because their bodies are adept at excreting mercury, and partly because they have not been exposed to significant amounts of mercury from other sources." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Both the teeth, gums and tongue need to be brushed on a regular basis. Some dentists recommend a tongue scraper, mouth wash, frequent brushing and periodic check ups to combat this problem. • Diet that includes eating strong tasting foods, like spices, pepperoni, curry, blue cheese, fish, onions, garlic and excessive protein naturally affects the breath. Fasting can cause bad breath because it may induce ketosis, which is when people break down fats in the liver into usable energy. • Post nasal drip, sinus, lung and throat disease or infections are linked to foul breath." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

Mercury, however, has enjoyed its greatest success as a preservative used in vaccinations. It was first used this way in the 1930s, when a form of it known as thimerosal, which contains 49." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"The Scirex scientists published the results of their study in the May 2002 edition of The Journal of the American Dental Association. dentists reading the study had no way of knowing that the FDA had refused to let Pharmacia sell Bextra for acute pain just six months before. Omnicom, the global ad giant, and its clinical research firm had performed and published a clinical trial that would do far more to increase sales than the most creative of advertisements. Three scientists who later reviewed the Scirex study said it was not persuasive." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"When face or mouth pain presents by itself, the person goes to the dentist, and dentists have been the primary researchers of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). "Temporo" refers to the temple, while "mandibular" means the jaw. Originally the syndrome was called temporomandibular joint disorder, but researchers learned that quite a few patients with pain in or around their TM joint had pain in the muscles and not in the joint itself." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"In 1995 behavioral testing disclosed significant impairment of concentration, emotional lability, somatosensory irritation, and mood in dentists working with mercury when compared to non amalgam exposed dentists. The urinary concentration of mercury was seven times greater in amalgam working dentists than the level found in non amalgam dentists. Long term exposure to amalgam can cause shakiness of hands and impaired manual dexterity. Women who worked preparing 30 or more amalgams weekly were 50 per cent less likely to conceive than unexposed women." - James A. Howenstine, MD, A Physician's Guide To Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"Well, almost no need of dentists: The "sturdy mountaineers" of Switzerland, who never met a toothbrush, had teeth covered in a greenish slime—but underneath that Price found perfectly formed teeth virtually free of decay.) Wherever he found an isolated primitive race that had not yet encountered the "displacing foods of modern commerce"—by which he meant refined flour, sugar, canned and chemically preserved foods, and vegetable oils—he found little or no evidence of "modern degeneration"—by which he meant chronic disease, tooth decay, and malformed dental arches." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"A wide variety of microbes live in your mouth. dentists are working hard to make sure we all understand that there is a connection between our oral health and our overall health. Probiotics play a similar role in the mouth as they do in the intestines. Below are some ways the probiotics are thought to promote health in your mouth. Probiotics: • Play a role in protective biofilm formation on the teeth. • Compete with bad bacteria in the mouth to prevent plaque formation. • Use up nutrients in the mouth, reducing the amount available for bad microbes." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"In addition to the products already mentioned, herbalist Susun Weed provides the following list of products to avoid: DES (diethylstilbestrol), laxatives, pHisoHex (or anything else containing hexachlorophene), hair dyes, phenobarbital, barbiturates, tranquilizers, epinephrine (adrenaline) shots, sulfa drugs, antibiotics, vaccines, anesthetics, mercury vapors in dentists' offices, steroids, hormones, and Accutane (an acne medication)." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"When it became possible to store static electricity, doctors in the nineteenth century relieved various aches and pains by sending electric currents through patients' bodies. dentists did likewise to ease the pain of tooth extraction. Thankfully progress has modernised electrical nerve stimulation. TNS may be given in hospitals and doctors' surgeries, but there are also small, hand-held (although less effective) TNS appliances that can be attached to a specific point on the body and switched on at any time." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"The urinary concentration of mercury was seven times greater in amalgam working dentists than the level found in non amalgam dentists. Long term exposure to amalgam can cause shakiness of hands and impaired manual dexterity. Women who worked preparing 30 or more amalgams weekly were 50 per cent less likely to conceive than unexposed women. To me the evidence is clear that silver amalgams should no longer be placed and that persons with these amalgams should strongly consider having them replaced with ceramic amalgams." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"Some children are prescribed fluoride tablets or given fluoride treatments at their dentists' offices or at school. Some of these children are benefited by removing all sources of fluoride. Additionally, vitamin and mineral supplements, such as magnesium, may be quite helpful. "Homeopathy can also be extremely useful. I saw one little boy who suffered from recurrent ear infections and was hyperactive." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"In 1844, a scandalized but anonymous 'Medical Practitioner' scolded the government for its lax attitudes towards quacks in general, from mesmerists to dentists (for specialism—the notion that one could understand and treat one Tide Page 76, 17. 'Mr Demour's needle', from James Morss Churchill, A Treatise on Acu-puncturation, 1821. Still a simple technology, the acupuncture needle here is a very western one, designed to ease the fears of European and North American patients uncomfortable with the idea of needling and fearful that the needle might become lost in the body." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"Many general dentists refer such patients to a periodontist, a specialist trained to treat gum disease by scaling bacterial biofilms (plaque) and calcified remains (tartar) and surgically removing infected pockets. Lamentably, said Keyes, "conventional surgical programs often fail to eliminate bacterial infections, and the accompanying inflammatory and immune reactions may destroy so much soft tissue and bone that teeth are lost." In 1975, Keyes began reporting on the success of a nonsurgical, anti-infective therapy he developed for severely infected gums." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"According to Rudolph Ballentine, MD, mercury toxicity is being reported with increasing frequency by physicians as well as dentists. The two main contributing factors seem to be a diet high in fish and the common use of silver-mercury amalgams for dental work. Fish consumption alone may be enough to cause mercury toxicity. An article by the Canadian Medical Association in 1976 reported that Indians in Northern Canada, who ate more than a pound of fish per day, had symptoms of mercury poisoning." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"These degrees and training are the same.) dentists can treat periodontal disease as part of overall dental care. • Dermatologist: A medical doctor who has been trained in diagnosing and treating skin diseases. ¦ Endodontist (endodontologist): A dentist who specializes in root canal procedures, diagnosing and managing oral/facial pain, and other clinical procedures related to the dental pulp (soft inner tissues of the teeth). 'Oral surgeon: A dentist with special training in surgery of the mouth and jaw." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.)

"But little is being done. Most dentists are still saying these types of fillings are safe and continue this practice although mercury is more toxic than arsenic. Go to: www. PeopleAgainstCancer. com. The biological holistic dentistry approach is catching on in the United States with dentists concerned about toxic metals such as mercury, and some are quickly adapting new ideas in this field for their patients. Mercury is extremely bad for the body and your immune system. In the early 1900's, the National Association of Dental Surgeons wanted to do away with mercury amalgam." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"Huggins points out that dentists often call the nickel alloy used in dentistry stainless steel, as it sounds better.5 Chelation—Removing Heavy Metals from the Body Metals in tooth fillings and crowns can be removed and replaced with non-conductive composite materials. However, removing toxic heavy metal residues that have built up in the body from dental, food, and environmental sources are more difficult. It is generally agreed that to remove heavy metals from the body, it must be done through some form of chelation." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)
