I am positive that every well-intentioned dentist has seen their share of interesting things. Drill bits left behind in wisdom tooth sites, root canal filling material left in the maxillary sinuses, and even standard wood screws put into someone’s jawbone as an “implant”! Yes, there is some weird stuff that happens in people’s mouths.

But when it comes to seeking out “biological dentistry,” I hope the standard of care is higher. Every week, I meet people who have had “biological” dentistry done to improve their health. Sadly, I frequently find that toxins such as mercury amalgam fillings and infected root tips are left behind.

One of the most common situations I see is when the patient thinks they are having their mercury amalgam material removed and a biocompatible restoration (usually a zirconia crown) put on the tooth. But in reality, much of the mercury amalgam filling is left in the tooth, which is just covered with the zirconia crown. Some may argue that if the crown fits well and is sealed that the mercury amalgam filling can no longer off gas its mercury vapors. That is a good point. And it may be enough to help protect the patient. But that argument does not take into consideration the negative energetic potential of having a metal alloy left in your tooth.

Today’s images show the man teeth in this 54 year old woman’s mouth that she thought were metal free but were not. Once the discovery was made that she still had metals in her mouth to which she is sensitive, she decided to have them removed.

One of her primary health goals is to be free of metals in her body. If you desire to have the metals in your mouth removed and replaced with bio-compatible materials, request that photos be taken of the teeth once they are clean to ensure their long-term health. You deserve that level of verification.
