Is Dentistry Finally Entering the 21st Century?

By Dr. Mercola

'Dentists who use mercury fillings claim that amalgam is safe because it's been used for 150 years. More accurately, dental amalgam is a Civil War relic, hardly a point in its favor. It is no better, nor safer,  than other discarded  medical practices like bleeding patients, administering calomel, and performing surgery with unwashed hands.

In fact, amalgam poses a whole swarm of problems at every stage of its lifecycle, including…'

Toxic Teeth and the Breast Cancer Connection

'Your teeth are living entities that are intricately connected to your blood stream and lymphatic system. There are miles of microtubules inside each tooth that are connected to the bloodstream. Once the tooth is drilled and the enamel is compromised, any substance placed in that tooth is absorbed directly into the body. Human and animal studies have confirmed the presence of mercury in several organs as a result of amalgam fillings placed in the teeth.'

Why You Should Avoid Root Canals Like the Plague

By Dr. Mercola

'Many people have had questions about root canals so I thought it would be wise to repost this article. It was an interview with Dr. George Meinig, who was dentist and leader in teaching people about the dangers of root canals. He wrote the book Root Canal Cover Up. Because I first became aware of this information in the early '90s I was able to avoid having any root canals. I elected to have three teeth extracted and now have two bridges to replace those teeth.

What Your Dentist Might Be Missing

'A man goes to the dentist with a terrible toothache. The doctor examines the tooth and says: “You need a bowel cleanse.” The man follows this advice and…the toothache disappears.

The man was lucky to be in the care of a holistic dentist, one of the fastest-growing health-care fields. This new crop of dentists looks at the mouth in the context of the entire body. That’s a groundbreaking perspective in this profession–of all the medical specialisations, dentistry is the most removed from the rest of health care. Many people, including some dentists, simply assume the health of your teeth has no impact on the rest of your body.'
