DENTAL CARE

Biological Dentistry emphasizes the use of nontoxic restoration (filling) materials for dental work, with a particular emphasis on not using silver/ mercury amalgam fillings. It also takes into consideration the impact that dental toxins and hidden dental infections can have on overall health. Mercury has been recognized as a poison for hundreds of years and in 1988 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared scrap dental amalgam a hazardous waste, requiring special handling and disposal. In early 1992, Germany banned the manufacture and sale of amalgams and in Sweden a ban is pending and the government pays 50% of the cost of removal of amalgam fillings. While mercury amalgam fillings are still quite common in the U.S., there are dentists who understand the health implications and have stopped using them. The book, Whole Body Dentistry, by Mark Breiner, DDS is an excellent resource.
