Safely Remove Mercury Amalgam Silver Fillings

When the element mercury accumulates to a high concentration in the body, it can lead to a variety of acute and chronic medical problems, including organ damage and compromise of major bodily systems. Because of the widespread usage of mercury in dental amalgam materials, many people are susceptible to mercury toxicity and its associated health issues.

Dentists and toxicologists are divided over the extent of the danger posed by mercury amalgam fillings. Even those who agree that mercury amalgam is hazardous are further divided over whether the safer protocol is to remove them or to leave them untouched. Paradoxically, improper removal of old fillings can cause greater exposure to mercury. Dentists who focus on safe amalgam removal must receive specialized training in the practice; they also follow government guidelines for containment of mercury vapor during the procedure and disposal of mercury-containing materials afterward. Mercury toxicity is a health problem that results from a variety of environmental exposures. In addition to its widespread use in dental amalgam, mercury gets into our surroundings from industrial processes and broken fluorescent tubes and even from natural phenomena, such as volcanic eruptions. It is also consumed in fish and meat; with each step up the food chain, mercury accumulates to a greater concentration in flesh tissues. When a person is faced with mercury poisoning, three bodily systems—immune, detoxification, and elimination—come into play to deal with the problem. The first line of defense, the immune system, recognizes pathogens and foreign substances that are injurious to health. The immune system may react by neutralizing the threatening substance; it might also respond with chronic inflammation, with an overreacting immune reaction, or by shutting down entirely. These latter immune responses can lead to degenerative conditions and organ or tissue damage. Detoxification works by preventing a recognized damaging substance from causing harm to the body. The liver is the main line of defense here, though other organs, such as the lungs and kidneys, play a role. Enzymes attach to toxins both chemically and electrostatically, preparing them for elimination from the body. Toxins that are difficult to neutralize, such as mercury, may undergo repeated phases of detoxification until they are safely contained. The kidneys excrete simple toxins, whereas more dangerous ones are eliminated via the colon. Some health problems can cause the detox phase to reverse, causing subsequent repeated cycles of the elimination system. Heavy metals such as mercury are difficult to neutralize; they stress the body’s defense systems and, even if successfully eliminated, can leave severe damage in their wake. A patient coming to The Center for Systemic Dentistry will be the recipient of a state-of-the-art protocol for safe removal of mercury amalgam. A comprehensive initial dental exam and systemic assessment determine the extent of mercury damage. This exam and an evaluation of the patient’s overall health help the doctor to determine if the patient is at risk of systemic reaction in the immune, detoxification, or elimination systems. A safe, effective program for removal of mercury amalgam (safe mercury removal) is the first step toward reversing the effects of mercury toxicity in your body.

Dr. Philip Memoli - Pediatric Dentistry - Dental Clinic for Kids

Childhood, when permanent teeth began to grow, is the best time to teach youngsters good oral hygiene habits and how to make wise nutritional choices. By learning how to prevent compromising the enamel, the hard substance that covers teeth, children can minimize and perhaps prevent the dental problems that plague many adults.

Some studies have demonstrated that certain foods, medical conditions, and bacteria can initiate decay other studies assert that, although those factors may start the decay process, they do not contribute the formation of cavities.

Pediatric tooth decay is on the rise. Some research suggests that systemic causes including radiation exposure, hormonal abnormalities, and foreign proteins in food are to blame.

Tooth decay in children falls into distinct categories:

Baby teeth versus adult teeth

Anterior (front) vs. posterior (back) tooth patterns

Contra-lateral tooth patterns

Decay clustering

Post-eruption susceptibility

A pediatric dental wellness program helps your child to learn the lessons of proper health maintenance and nutritional habits that prevent dental disease. You can bring your child for his or her first dental exam after all the baby teeth are in general, between ages three and five.

Our pediatric wellness program begins with a three-part, comprehensive exam that checks tooth diagnosis, jaw development diagnosis, and periodontal diagnosis.

The tooth diagnosis assesses tooth development, tooth mineralization, and decay development.

The jaw development diagnosis examines jaw development and alignment of the teeth.

The periodontal diagnosis is an examination for teen gingivitis.

The purpose of pediatric wellness is to prevent dental disease in children. Such dental afflictions occur in five stages:

Stage I examines the underlying causes of a child’s dental problems.

Stage II looks for oral susceptibility to dental diseases in teeth, gums, and jaw.

Stage III looks for the initial indicators of dental disease.

Stage IV is the oral-systemic metastasis stage, when dental problems have progressed to a more serious level.

Stage V is when systemic manifestations of dental disease occur, which may be either lymphatic or obstetric in nature.

The Center for Systemic Dentistry works to address pediatric dental problems at the earliest stages, remedying the problem and preventing further dental or systemic damage later in your child’s life.

Dr. Philip Memoli and his staff are ready to repair the damage caused by childhood dental problems and ensure that our pediatric patients are committed to maintaining healthy teeth as they grow.

Affordable Mercury Toxicity Treatment in NJ/NYC - Dr. Philip Memoli

Mercury amalgam has been used as a dental filling material around the world since ancient times and in the United States for nearly 200 years. Mercury toxicity, also called mercury poisoning, is caused by a high level of mercury in the body.

The question of whether or notmercury amalgam fillings contribute to mercury exposure is hotly debated.

Many dentists believe that amalgam fillings, in use for more than 150 years in this country, are safe and that only a small percentage of the population shows sensitivity to mercury in fillings.

Many toxicologists associate great risk with the use of mercury amalgam fillings. One researcher, Andrew Cutler, has argued that millions of people are being poisoned by mercury compounds the medical profession is exposing them to.

Among the latter, common arguments against the procedure include:

All the mercury has already leaked out.

Additional tooth structure will be lost by removing existing dental work.

The patient will be exposed to toxic levels of mercury vapor being released as the fillings are drilled out.

There are risks associated with removal of mercury amalgam fillings, ranging from damage to teeth to neurological, immunological, detoxification, digestive, and endocrine disorders.

The very act of amalgam removal can increase mercury exposure to both patient and dental staff. Because of this possibility, dentists who specialize in this practice must receive training in safe mercury removal. Dr. Philip Memoli is ready to help you recover your health so you can begin to lead a life free of mercury toxicity.

Effective Root Canal Dental NJ/NYC | Dr. Philip Memoli - Call 908-464-9144

A root canal-treated (RCT) or root-filled tooth is one in which the dental nerve, commonly called the pulp, is intentionally removed and is filled with an inert material called gutta percha.

What are the pros and cons of root canals?

The pro of a root canal is obvious: the painful or dead tooth is treated and extraction is avoided. But we must ask two key questions before starting a root canal.

Can the tooth be restored?

Can a predictable RCT be performed, or are there risks for a poor result?

How is a root canal properly diagnosed?

A root canal is a treatment, not a diagnosis. Good dentistry, like good medicine, starts with a proper diagnosis of the tooth.

Some dentists argue that a diagnosis is academic and a waste of a patient’s time. The result is always the same, they say, a root canal. However, establishing a true diagnosis of tooth pain may avert an unnecessary root canal of an otherwise healthy tooth.

What are my options once a root canal is inevitable?

It’s important to understand that all teeth problems are unique. No treatment is universal. Individual circumstances may dictate that a specific treatment is not an option.

The root canal is a three-step procedure. First, the dentist must remove the nerve from the root system and seal the space with an inert material called gutta percha. Second, a post-core must be placed to prevent root fracture. Third, a crown should be added to prevent fracture of the tooth.

What is the success rate of root canals and what constitutes failure?

With recent improvements in technology, root canal success rates are estimated between 86% and 98% that means that as many as one tooth in seven may be classified as a root canal failure.

Research has found four major causes of root canal failure:

Tooth or root fracture

Infections including bacteria (primarily enterococcus fecalis, etc), viruses, and fungus.

The body’s reaction to root canal materials, microorganisms, and cements which inadvertently are pushed past the tooth into the bone.

Cysts

Can a failed root canal have a systemic effect on the body?

When we consider that a tooth is an open biological system which communicates with the body whether alive or dead following a root canal, the question of systemic effects on the body becomes an important issue. One study focused on chronic dental infections that is, infections which produced no visible or symptomatic signs.

Dr. Philip Memoli - Mercury Detoxification Removal Treatment | Holistic Dentistry NJ

Mercury, the only metallic element that is a liquid under standard temperature and pressure conditions, is widely utilized in many industries and processes. It has been used as a component of dental amalgam since ancient times and is found in fluorescent tubes and thermometers.

Mercury toxicity symptoms are many; mercury poisoning takes a heavy toll on the body, affecting the neurological and central nervous systems, as well as the gastrointestinal, immune, neuromuscular, and cardiovascular systems. Major organs, such as the brain, liver, and kidneys, also suffer as a result of mercury toxicity.

A wide variety of symptoms is attributed to toxicity resulting from mercury amalgam. This list includes but is not limited to:

Headache, fatigue, loss of concentration, irritability, depression, insomnia, and dizziness

Diverticulosis, stomach cramps, bloating, loss of appetite, and gastrointestinal disturbances

Muscle fatigue and tremors, sciatic and chest pains, leg cramps, joint pain, and tachycardia

Oral health problems, such as bad breath, blisters/sores, tender teeth, and bleeding gums

Our next article discusses how your systems react to the presence of mercury in the body and the types of health damage that may result from mercury toxicity.

A safe, effective program for removal of mercury amalgam is the first step toward reversing the effects of mercury toxicity in your body. The Center for Systemic Dentistry in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, is committed to being the state’s leading dental practice that focuses on holistic, healing-focused dentistry.

Dr. Philip Memoli is ready to help you recover your health so you can begin to lead a life free of mercury toxicity. The Center for Systemic Dentistry will work with you to determine the best course of treatment to safely remove your existing mercury amalgam.

Dr. Philip Memoli - Natural Detoxification Treatment by Holistic Dentistry NJ

We are constantly being exposed to various toxins from our environment, such as heavy metals, chemicals, radiation, and acids. When these toxins enter our body, they may exert adverse effects which can result in symptoms or disease. As a result of our unique identity called biological individuality.

In order to understand resistance and susceptibility, we need to be familiar with the system designed to protect us and prevent disease.

This system is composed of three sequential parts:

Identification: The Immune System carries out this process.

Neutralization: The Detoxification System performs this task

Elimination: The Elimination System colon and kidneys work to remove toxins.

Xenobiotics can place a great deal of stress on the entire system. Because of the complexity and toxicity of xenobiotics, the system may break down during the identification and processing stages. If the body successfully manages these stages, the elimination process can be equally as challenging.

The kidneys, which also possess some regenerative and detoxification ability, would be subject to injury, too. Possible injuries include autoimmune glomerulonephritis and nephrotoxicity. When elimination is compromised and the body is burdened with excessive xenobiotics, the system will still attempt to compensate.

In the face of such evidence, how can a diagnosis of toxicity be determined? First, the question of xenobiotics must be resolved. What specific toxins are there, where are they located, and to what extent are they affecting the body?

Second is the overwhelming question of breakdown in the three part system: Identification, Detoxification, Elimination. No biomarkers or laboratory tests exist to reveal the origin or extent of the system’s problem.

Childhood, when permanent teeth began to grow, is the best time to teach youngsters good oral hygiene habits and how to make wise nutritional choices. By learning how to prevent compromising the enamel, the hard substance that covers teeth, children can minimize and perhaps prevent the dental problems that plague many adults.

To this day, there is disagreement in the dental community about the precise cause of tooth decay. The most widely accepted theory is that decay is a local phenomenon, caused when mouth bacteria consume sugar and excrete acid, which begins to decay enamel.

Pediatric tooth decay is on the rise. Some research suggests that systemic causes—including radiation exposure, hormonal abnormalities, and foreign proteins in food are to blame. The systemic theory of decay suggests that other factors become relevant only after hypomineralization has begun.

Tooth decay in children falls into distinct categories:

Mercury Detoxification Removal Treatment | Holistic Dentistry NJ - Dr. Philip Memoli

Mercury, the only metallic element that is a liquid under standard temperature and pressure conditions, is widely utilized in many industries and processes. It has been used as a component of dental amalgam since ancient times and is found in fluorescent tubes and thermometers.

The simplest ways to avoid mercury exposure in your immediate environment are to remove fluorescent tubes and thermometers, to avoid consumption of certain types of fish known to harbor high accumulations of mercury in their tissues, and to undergo a process of safe amalgam removal to replace old fillings with a substitute amalgam that eliminates the possibility of mercury toxicity.

A wide variety of symptoms is attributed to toxicity resulting from mercury amalgam. This list includes but is not limited to:

Headache, fatigue, loss of concentration, irritability, depression, insomnia, and dizziness

Diverticulosis, stomach cramps, bloating, loss of appetite, and gastrointestinal disturbances

Muscle fatigue and tremors, sciatic and chest pains, leg cramps, joint pain, and tachycardia

Oral health problems, such as bad breath, blisters/sores, tender teeth, and bleeding gums

Multiple studies have reported on both the symptoms associated with mercury toxicity and the likelihood of treatment to mitigate the effects of mercury toxicity. These studies investigated the cases of hundreds of patients who were poisoned by mercury.

Root Canal Alternative Treatment - Holistic Dentistry NJ | Dr. Philip Memoli

A root canal-treated (RCT) or root-filled tooth is one in which the dental nerve, commonly called the pulp, is intentionally removed and is filled with an inert material called gutta percha.

Once an RCT is performed, the tooth must be restored with a post and a crown. These will strengthen the tooth and prevent a crack or fracture from developing after treatment. A good analogy is a tree branch.

Does tooth pain indicate i need a root canal?

A dentist first will tap on several teeth and look for signs of an abscess or a radiograph. A tooth with constant or severe pain does not necessarily indicate the need for a root canal.

These include sinus infections, myofascial pain, neurovascular disorders, neuralgias (a common cause), neuritis (a viral infection of the tooth), neuropathy, and neuromas. Even heart attacks can refer pain to the teeth of the lower jaw.

How is a root canal properly diagnosed?

A root canal is a treatment, not a diagnosis. Good dentistry, like good medicine, starts with a proper diagnosis of the tooth.

Some dentists argue that a diagnosis is academic and a waste of a patient’s time. The result is always the same, they say, a root canal. However, establishing a true diagnosis of tooth pain may avert an unnecessary root canal of an otherwise healthy tooth.

Other causes of tooth pain, other than those listed above, can include decay, bite trauma, bruxism, referred pain, nerve disorders and cracked teeth. These causes result in various effects, such as tooth nerve infection, inflammation and ischemia.

What are my options once a root canal is inevitable?

It’s important to understand that all teeth problems are unique. No treatment is universal. Individual circumstances may dictate that a specific treatment is not an option. Or perhaps one option will offer a superior result over another.

Once the dental nerve has been properly diagnosed as dead, we can assume that the dental nerve space inside the tooth (called the root canal system) and the bone surrounding the tooth are now infected.
