Biological and Holistic Dentistry
 

We believe that mercury toxicity plays an important role in creating states of ill-health. We are committed to protecting our staff and our patients from harmful toxins. Therefore, we follow strict protocols to minimize our exposure to mercury. Visit www.iaomt.org for more information regarding biological dentistry.

We do not use amalgam filings.   It is a known fact that amalgam contains mercury. We use mercury vapor ionizers in our operatories, as well as powerful intra-oral and extra-oral vacuum systems during all amalgam removals. We can also provide medical-grade air at patient’s request.

We work with other health care providers to help determine each individual’s present health status. For example, patients can determine their level of mercury toxicity by seeing their medical or naturopathic doctor for a series of tests.  If the tests show high levels of mercury, a detoxification program may be recommended.

We believe that each individual is biochemically unique, which means that there may be dental materials that are suitable for some but not for others. This can be particularly worrisome for individuals who have allergies or multiple chemical sensitivities. The best scientific approach to identifying dental materials allergies is the Clifford Materials Reactivity Test.  Visit www.ccrlab.com for more information regarding dental biocompatibility.

Aromatherapy and Homeopathic remedies are also available and routinely used for patient comfort and care.

We are dedicated to using materials and processes which

are the least injurious to your inner environment and the

environment at large.

Communication and education help complete the picture.

Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any

questions or concerns.
