General Dentistry

One of the most distressing things I confront as a dentist is otherwise youthful and happy faces that look much older and sadder because of yellowed, crooked, badly shaped or damaged teeth.

What’s really heartbreaking is that many of these same people believe they have to live with this disfigurement. But this simply is not true.

Modern dentistry has created several marvelous options that are safe, simple and effective.

TMJ/Cranial Orthopedics

I have extensive training in the treatment of jaw and facial dysfunction that promotes healing naturally by reducing the stress and imbalances that create this disharmony.

This includes the fabrication of orthopedic appliances that are designed to improve cranial-sacral movement. Typical appliances often disrupt the normal cranial-sacral rhythm.

Treatment may include cranial-sacral therapy, myofascial release, laser therapy or nutritional intervention.

Orthodontics

If your teeth are crowded, too far apart, or have shifted since wearing braces, you may need orthodontic treatment.

The good news is that, with Night Guide, you can now choose to straighten your teeth - without braces.

Or, if you prefer, Six-Month Power Braces will dramatically shorten the usual two to three years most braces require..

Biological Dentistry:
Dental Treatment Designed to
Enhance Your Health

Biological dentistry integrates healing the mind, body and spirit with the best that dentistry has to offer. There is a focus on overall health and on the uniqueness of each individual. A biological dentist is more concerned about treating the causes of a problem than just the symptoms.

Mercury amalgam replacement

We brush our teeth regularly, rinse with a strong mouthwash, even floss now and then. And, when these efforts fail, we get our cavities filled with “silver”.

Most people would be shocked to discover that those “silver” fillings are actually composed of over 50% mercury - the most toxic non-radioactive metal known to man.

Over 200 million American have had this highly toxic metal packed into one or more cavities. In fact, the average adult in this country has ten amalgam filled teeth. Worldwide there are over two-and-a-half billion people with mercury amalgam fillings, creating what many leading researchers believe to be a “toxic time bomb”.

What’s most puzzling is that mercury amalgam is legally treated as a highly dangerous material before it is placed in your mouth and after it is removed. However, for the past 169 years traditional dentists have insisted that, once the mercury is mixed into an amalgam and placed in your mouth, it becomes a safe and stable substance.

We now know that this is absolutely false. This poisonous metal implanted in your teeth is continuously leaching into your body, where it accumulates over time. Although all body tissues retain this poisonous substance, it is stored primarily in the kidneys, liver and brain. The most intense discharge occurs from chewing, drinking hot liquids, eating acidic and salty foods, and, of all things, brushing your teeth.

If you have already decided to have your mercury amalgam fillings replaced, you have made an important decision towards enhancing and protecting your health.

However, you should know that there are definite risks involved in the removal of this highly toxic metal. That’s why you absolutely must seek out a biological/holistic/toxic-free dentist that has been trained in the proper protocol for the safe removal of mercury amalgam.

This protocol will include special testing to determine your level of mercury poisoning, detoxification procedures before and after the removal, as well as special precautions needed during the removal of amalgam.

Mercury toxicity testing

There are several procedures for testing the level of toxic mercury in your body - from a simple symptom questionnaire to a full-blown laboratory analysis of your blood, urine and hair.

Bio compatible dental material testing

Prior to the replacement of amalgams, I recommend a test for bio compatibility in order to restore the teeth with the least reactive materials. In addition to not placing silver-mercury fillings, I do not place any restorations with metal, including gold, copper, tin, nickel, aluminum, palladium, etc.

The reason for restoring with ceramic-type materials is to eliminate any electro-galvanic reactions. Any metal in the mouth will react with saliva. The saliva acts like an electrolyte to produce a battery effect. This creates an energy field that will interfere with normal energy flows along the meridians, the cranial-sacral system and the nervous system.

Cavitation testing and removal

When a tooth is removed, the ligament surrounding the tooth must also be removed. If the ligament is not entirely removed, the jaw bone acts as if the tooth is still present and will not heal properly.

Since the tooth that was removed was probably toxic to begin with, the ligament is filled with bacteria and toxins. As the extraction site heals, these toxins become embedded into the newly-formed cavitation site.

Cavitations do not have a blood supply. Therefore, the immune system cannot react in order to cleanse the cavitation. The toxins generated within the cavitation are absorbed through the surrounding tissues and dumped into the bloodstream.

Non-Surgical Treatment and prevention of Gum Disease

Unhealthy gums are warning of future tooth loss. They can also increase your potential for stroke and heart disease.  A comprehensive periodontal assessment and treatment program is one of the most important things you can do to ensure the health of yourself and your family.

My training has provided the ability to evaluate a patient’s blood chemistry and nutritional imbalances that lead to gum disease. By testing with a microscope for the presence of certain bacteria, therapy can be directed to change pathological bacteria to non-pathogenic bacteria.

Gum disease is essentially a breakdown of connective tissue, which may represent problems elsewhere in the body.

Instead of just treating the gums, treatment is directed to building up the health of the entire biological terrain, thus creating more natural and complete healing.

Sleep Apnea

Lack of sufficient oxygen is a leading cause of health problems. During sleep many people who snore will actually stop breathing, creating reduced oxygenation during a time when the body is supposed to be resting, healing and regenerating. Snoring is a sign of an obstructed airway that is caused by the tongue blocking the back of the throat. We can now offer dental appliances that can resolve this problem.

Acupressure and Homeopathy

With the use of acupressure points and homeopathic remedies, dental anxiety can be reduced and healing can be stimulated in order to have a more positive dental experience.

Comprehensive Detox Program

Your body may be loaded with harmful toxins and you may not even know it! Studies have shown that every living animal on the Earth today is the victim of environmental pollution. There is no zone or region on the planet that has escaped the toxic ripple of the industrial world. From Antarctica to the most remote, seemingly pristine regions of the world, you cannot avoid the effects of environmental toxicity.

Your body is a complex and fragile ecosystem that has natural defenses against disease. It eliminates, stores and tries to adapt to a lifetime accumulation of toxins – from the pesticides and preservatives in the food we eat and the food containers we use and cook in; to the air we breathe that has been contaminated with solvents, car fumes and industrial waste; to the tap water we drink and wash in which contains chemicals leached from contaminated soils, environmental pollutants and chemical additives, such as fluoride and chlorine; and to the chemically saturated environment we come in contact with every day.

When the level of toxins from this biological assault becomes too great
for the body to process,  your natural defense systems break down
and cellular mutation and disease occur.
