CeraRoot® Zirconia Implants for Successful Placement
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.
Strength and Design
CeraRoot® zirconia implants are known for inflexibility and durability and with the one piece design of the implant offer optimal function and performance for natural beauty.

Old Silver Amalgam Fillings Are Nothing To Boast About
Old Silver Amalgam Fillings Are Nothing To Boast About
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.
Cavities under Silver Amalgam Fillings- Tooth decay hides under old silver amalgam fillings and because of the opaqueness go undetected in x-rays. Dentistry for Health NY uses holistic dentistry tools that will give your holistic dentist a clear picture of what is really going on underneath your dental restorations.
Leaky Fillings- When the silver amalgam breaks down and pulls away from your tooth the seal is broken. Without a seal, the fillings start to leak allowing saliva, bacteria, and food particles to get into the tooth causing damage to the healthy structure.
Teeth Clenching and Grinding- you chew you are putting a tremendous amount of stress on your teeth, which over time will wear down dental restorations. If you suffer from chronic teeth clenching and grinding, known as bruxism, your teeth and fillings will break down much quicker.
Chewing on Hard Things- people like to chew on pen caps, ice and pencils, however, chewing on hard objects can put additional pressure on your teeth, especially teeth that have been previously restored. Avoid chewing on anything that could damage fillings, dental crowns, cosmetic dental bonding, or porcelain veneers.
Stop boasting about your old silver amalgam fillings and schedule an appointment with Dentistry for Health NY. Your Holistic Dentist New York can examine your old dental restorations and safely remove your old silver amalgam fillings.

Allergic Sensitivity to Metals in Dental Materials
Allergic Sensitivity to Metals in Dental Materials
Allergic sensitivity to metals affects millions of people all over the world. Unfortunately, not all people who are affected have any idea that they are suffering. If you suspect you may be suffering from an allergy to your dental materials, it is imperative that you schedule an appointment with a Holistic Dentist who can replace your restorations with biocompatible materials that will not make you sensitive or sick.
Although there are many metals used in dentistry, these are the most common.
- Silver
- Cadmium
- Nickel
- Titanium
Silver Amalgam- If you have or have had silver amalgam fillings, you have been exposed to mercury toxicity to a certain degree and could be suffering from an allergic sensitivity to metals. If your immune system is depleted, if you suffer from disease related symptoms or are subject to more than one allergy, talk to Dentistry for Healthy NY about safe silver amalgam removal.
Cadmium- Cadmium is a neuro toxin that is used for paint pigments, PVC plastics, nickel–cadmium batteries, and believe it or not, dental materials. Cadmium has also been discovered in soil thanks to the use of commercial fertilizer, fungicide, and insecticide. Patients who are sensitive to cadmium have reported rashes, sensitivity to hot and cold and mouth sores.
Nickel- Researchers are discovering that severe dermatitis could be caused by a reaction between palladium and nickel, both of which are used in dental materials. The most common symptom of a nickel allergy is itching, swelling and redness. Nickel allergies are also more common in women. People who are allergic to nickel also report a metallic taste that never goes away. If you suffer from a metal allergy, Dentistry for Health NY can replace your metal restorations with biocompatible materials that will make you feel better.
Titanium- Although less likely to cause an allergic reaction when compared to other metals, the dental world is seeing some reaction to the titanium posts used in dental implants. Titanium is highly resistant to corrosion and is biocompatible, in most cases, with the immune system. Titanium dioxide, a form of the metal, is also used to enhance flavor and is used as an additive in cosmetics, toothpaste, and foods. Symptoms of an allergic reaction to titanium include a metal taste in the mouth, muscle pain, fatigue, skin rashes, or swelling.
If you suspect you may be suffering from an allergic sensitivity to metals see your doctor or allergist.
Once you have a diagnosis, call, or click and talk to the team from Dentistry for Health NY who can safely remove your metal restorations.

Red Wine Can Help Fight Tooth Decay
Red Wine Can Help Fight Tooth Decay
How Does Wine Help Fight Tooth Decay?
Red wine may not have the best reputation when it comes to white teeth, however, it can protect your tooth’s integrity. In an article published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in 2018, researchers compared the effects of red wine and grapeseed extract supplements with two polyphenols in red wine on bad oral bacteria. This type of harmful bacteria sticks to your teeth and gums, which will lead to plaque, gum disease, and cavities. While all three of the substances affected the bacteria, the red wine had the most effect. What came as a bigger surprise was that the polyphenols in the red when combined with good bacteria performed even better when it came to stopping the progress of harmful bacteria. Although the reason is still unclear, it could be the polyphenols in the red wine.Wine Gum in our Future?
Although the jury is still out as to how wine can help oral health, it could lead to oral hygiene products that are infused with polyphenol. Don’t be surprised if you see wine infused mouthwash, toothpaste, and even chewing gum on your pharmacy shelves in the near future. Of course, that glass of red wine isn’t the only thing you can consume. Green tea, apples, blueberries, coffee, dark chocolate, and cherries are all rich in bacteria fighting polyphenols.How Wine Can Help Find Cavities: A Cautionary Word
Although red wine may protect your mouth from a harmful bacteria invasion there can also be side effects. Breast cancer risk and recurrence increases with alcohol consumption. If you are watching your weight be aware that even a small glass of Cabernet contains around 94 calories. A couple of glasses every night will begin to add up. The tannins and acid in red wine can erode the enamel on your teeth, as the pigments in the red wine will stay on your teeth. If you like your teeth white, you will want to keep them clean. Just make sure you brush after drinking red wine.Not a Wine Drinker? You Can Prevent Cavities without Red Wine By:
- Cutting Back on Sugar
- Eating Nutrient Rich Foods
- Giving Oil Pulling a Try

Damaged Silver Amalgam Fillings Can Be Dangerous
Damaged Silver Amalgam Fillings Can Be Dangerous
Your old dental restorations could be harboring a dark secret. You may be proud of your 30-year-old silver amalgam fillings, but you can bet there is something hiding under your old dental restorations. Bragging about your 25-year-old dental crowns isn’t something you should be telling the world about as tooth decay could still form under old dental restorations and silver amalgam fillings.
According to your Holistic Dentist New York, tooth decay can form in the healthy part of the tooth. If you should have a crack or chip in the filling, which is highly likely considering its age, mercury from the silver amalgam will leak. Not only that, a crack can allow for bacteria and debris to penetrate the tooth. You may think you are okay because you are not in pain, but Dentistry for Health New York has a different opinion.
Cavities don’t always hurt, especially if the pulp inside the tooth has been damaged, is dying, or is already dead. The pulp in your tooth contains nerves that will desensitize the tooth making it impossible to feel anything.
Dentistry for Health NY is the healthy way to safely remove your silver amalgam fillings in a safe environment. As pioneers in the safety of silver amalgam filling removal in New York, the silver amalgam removal team will safely remove your fillings and replace them with biocompatible dental materials that your body will love.
Silver amalgam can get into your bloodstream. Silver amalgam contains mercury and is allowed for use by the American Dental Association, Holistic Dentists in New York know better.
If you follow the Dentistry for Health Blog, you will know that mercury vapors from your fillings and dental crowns are released constantly. Sadly, 72 percent of people surveyed in the United States were not aware of the link between silver fillings and mercury. 92 percent of that group questioned the mercury leakage issues during silver filling placement.
Holistic Dentists explain that mercury is linked to neurological issues and mental disorders. The powerful neurotoxin has also been linked to chronic illness and autoimmune disease.
