Biological Dentistry
Biological Dentistry can be categorized as dentistry with a
conscience; a consciousness of how the treatments of the teeth and
jaws will affect the health of the individual and how it will
affect the immune system. Will it be congruent and health
enhancing or will the treatments be health stressors to the
individual. In the past only lip service was paid to the
biocompatibility of materials used in dentistry. The material's
compatibility was judged on a general basis and not on an
individual basis that is required for biocompatibility.

Dear Farid,
So much is happening in the field of dentistry that I have
started to use this newsletter to inform my patients about what is
new in dentitsry, I am very excited about this and I hope that you
enjoy it. I would like to take this opprtunity to thank you for
supporting my practice all these years and for putting your trust
in our services. I have studied and introduced Biological
dentistry into my practice for the last few years and I am
convinced,that this is the way of the future. In the next few
issues of this newsletter I will bring different aspects of
biological dentistry to you.

Aspects of
Biological Dentistry
|
| |
As humanity is evolving, so are our approaches in dental
health. As the twenty-first century is upon us, a new era of
dentistry is coming of age, an era that combines a sophisticated
mechanical approach with a more evolved biological or pro-biotic
(life supporting) system of dental medicine. It is like a marriage
between high-tech dentistry and ancient wisdom that acknowledges
and respects the health of the entire body. Below are five areas
that biological dentistry focuses on:
- Dental material biocompatibility
- Focal oral infection
- Energy disturbances to the body
- Influence of nutrition on oral health
- Cranial, dental, sacral complex
In this issue I will just deal with Dental material
biocompatibility.

Dental Material
Biocompatibility

The topic that has dominated this area is the use of mercury in
amalgam fillings. The unfortunate misstated biocompatibility of
this material is well known by many readers. I will refer to a
book in this area: " It's All in Your Head ", The Link Between
Mercury Amalgam and Illness by Dr. Hal Huggins. He clearly
states the dangerous effect of mercury in dental amalgams in the
following 5 categories:
- Neurological e.g.: seizures and MS
- Immunological e.g.: Lupus, arthritis
- Cardiovascular e.g.: blood pressure,
- Collagen: e.g.: Osteoarthritis
- Miscellaneous e.g.: chronic fatigue, brain fog
Today we can test Biocompatibility of all the dental materials
with VEGA testing. I work with one of the leading Naturopathic
Physicians in Ottawa,
Dr Toplak, to get this testing done. |
