Silver amalgam fillings are dangerous. While holistic dentists have known for decades that old amalgam restorations are 50 percent mercury, which is highly toxic others don’t agree.

Why Silver Amalgam Fillings are Dangerous

Toxic metals are absorbed and released as vapor throughout your body every time you chew, brush, and floss your teeth. Although mercury is meant to stay put in the dental restoration, it does not allowing mercury to spread throughout your body.

Some dentists claim to safely remove silver amalgam fillings. However, not all dentists are equipped to handle the issues that go along with silver amalgam removal.

As a New York holistic dentist, Dr. Reid Winick recommends silver amalgam removal. While you may think your silver fillings are hideous, there are health issues to consider as well.

Why Should I Bother with Silver Amalgam Removal?

Although the ADA, American Dental Association deems amalgam safe for teeth and the body, the Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, recently released a warning to consumers stating that, “Dental amalgams contain mercury, which may have neurotoxic effects on the nervous systems.” Holistic dentists have always known this to be the case.

Dr. Winick explains that silver amalgam fillings contain mercury, which is toxic to the body. Care and safety must be taken when removing silver amalgam fillings. If your dentist is still placing silver fillings and believes they are safe, why would he or she take special precautions to remove them?

Vaping is supposed to be safer than tobacco; however, this new fad hasn’t been around long enough for studies to be conclusive.

Everyone knows how dangerous tobacco is for overall health, but what about e-cigarettes?

Millions of people have quit smoking switching from one habit to another. Former smokers feverishly toke on the pen the same way they did with a cigarette. However, the nicotine in those e-cigarettes could have negative health effects.

Nicotine is Addictive

Chronic exposure to nicotine can lead to type 2 diabetes. Inhaling nicotine can also increase your blood pressure and heart rate. Nicotine is addictive and can lead to brain alternations putting you in the high-risk category for other addictions, especially in younger people. Nicotine can also impair brain development, which can lead to poor impulse control and ADD. These figures are troublesome especially with the popularity of E-cigarettes among teens in the United States.

CeraRoot® zirconia are not like the others.

You may think that all dental implants are created equal, but Dr. Reid Winick from Dentistry for Health NY knows better. As a holistic dentist in New York, Dr. Reid explains that dental implant posts or screws that are made from incompatible materials could be rejected or downright dangerous to your health.

Your holistic dentist in New York, Dentistry for Health NY uses CeraRoot® zirconia implants, which are made from zirconia. This biocompatible ceramic material assimilates into your jawbone. A study from the University of Minnesota confirmed that there were no signs of foreign body rejection of inflammation when CeraRoot® dental implants were used.

No Sensitivities

Because the zirconia implants used by your Holistic Dentist in New York are hypoallergenic, unlike metal implants, which can show signs of sensitivity years after implant surgery, CeraRoot® zirconia implants are the perfect choice for patients who suffer from compromised immune systems, skin sensitivities, and allergies.

Aesthetics

Another big problem with titanium dental implants is aesthetics. People with thin or translucent gums or those with gum recession, or patients who are prone to it, could end up with titanium showing around the crown. Zirconia is white and non metallic and has a far more natural appearance than titanium. Because the base mimics your natural teeth you will not see the visible metal aura that is often n noticeable around the teeth and the gum line.

Corrosion Resistant

Because zirconia is biocompatible, it is resistant to corrosion and will not conduct heat or electricity. You will never have to worry about chemical reactions being triggered that could interfere with your oral and overall health.

Titanium has been proven to corrode in a wet or moist environment. When combined with other metal restorations, you are setting yourself up for disaster

Holistic Friendly

CeraRoot® zirconia implants won’t interfere with your meridians and the movement of energy. Because they are bionert, they are the perfect solution for missing teeth. Dentistry for Health NY is holistically friendly and can help your mouth get that way as well.

Your old silver amalgam fillings are certainly nothing to be proud of. Old dental restorations can be hiding tooth decay, even if you can’t feel it.

According to your Holistic Dentist New York, Dentistry for Health NY, cavities can develop under fillings, dental crowns and other dental restorations.

Dental caries can go undetected but according to Dr. Reid Winick from Dentistry for Health NY, there are some ways to determine if you are harboring cavities under your old silver amalgam fillings.

Cracks in Filled Teeth- The metal that is used in your fillings will corrode over time. This causes the tooth to contract and expand. Over the years, this could cause fractures or breakages in the tooth. Tooth fractures allow food particles, saliva, bacteria, and plaque to get inside the healthy part of your tooth under the old silver amalgam filling causing tooth decay.
