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

The Detoxification System commonly thought to comprise only the liver, actually exists in some capacity in every cell. Points of entry, such as the gut and lungs, as well as any organs susceptible to damage from toxins, also carry out detoxification. The gut, which controls absorption through a semi-permeable barrier, can selectively absorb nutrients and allow most toxins to exit through the colon. Certain toxins called xenobiotics, however, can mimic the shape of natural molecules and pass through the barrier. In fact, many patients with small intestine disorders may allow toxins to pass through the damaged barrier into the blood stream where they are delivered to the liver.

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. 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. Hypo mineralization, caused mainly by a diet inadequate in minerals, increases a child’s susceptibility to decay. The systemic theory of decay suggests that other factors become relevant only after hypo mineralization has begun. Tooth decay in children falls into distinct categories:           Baby teeth versus adult teeth           front vs. back tooth patterns           Contra-lateral tooth patterns           Decay clustering           Post-eruption susceptibility

The diagnosis of dental disease in children occurs in five stages. The treatment protocol for your child is determined by the assessed stage of the problem(s). Stage I examines the underlying causes of a child’s dental problems. These may be one or more of five types: • Dietary • Biological terrain • Immune system • Functional issues • Hormonal issues Stage II looks for oral susceptibility to dental diseases in teeth, gums, and jaw. Examination of teeth looks for enamel disturbances, such as erosion, decalcification, fluorosis, developmental disturbances, and natural bleaching. Assessing gum problems involves reviewing oral hygiene habits, including: brushing; correct flossing and rinsing techniques, which prevent decay and gum disease; and oil pulling, which can mitigate infectious agents in the mouth. When examining the jaw, the dentist looks for myofunctional and speech problems, mouth breathing, and airway blockage and/or sleep apnea, which may indicate chronic in

Even among the doctors and researchers who agree that the use of mercury amalgam is problematic, there is debate about whether the preferred option is safe amalgam removal or leaving existing amalgam in place. Dr. Philip Memoli is ready to help you recover your health so you can begin to lead a life free of mercury toxicity. 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. The Center for Systemic Dentistry will work with you to determine the best course of treatment to safely remove your existing mercury amalgam.
