Holistic Dentistry NJ

A pediatric dental wellness program helps your child to learn the lessons of proper health maintenance and nutritional habits that prevent dental disease. You can bring your child for his or her first dental exam after all the baby teeth are in—generally, between ages three and five. Our pediatric wellness program begins with a three-part , comprehensive exam that checks tooth diagnosis, jaw development diagnosis, and periodontal diagnosis. The tooth diagnosis assesses tooth development, tooth mineralization, and decay development. The jaw development diagnosis examines jaw development and alignment of the teeth. The periodontal diagnosis is an examination for teen gingivitis. Following the three-part exam, the dentist provides a dental nutrition analysis and a systemic assessment, which includes a dietary analysis, a nutritional status, an immune system analysis, a hormone analysis, and a blood test. The purpose of pediatric wellness is to prevent dental disease in chi

We are constantly being exposed to various toxins from our environments, such as heavy metals, chemicals, radiation, and acids. When these toxins enter our body, they may exert adverse effects which can result in symptoms or disease. As a result of our unique identity, called “biological individuality,” each of us reacts differently to a toxic exposure. Those who remain unaffected are called resistant; those who are affected are termed susceptible. In order to understand resistance and susceptibility, we need to be familiar with the system designed to protect us and prevent disease. This system is composed of three sequential parts: 1. Identification : The  Immune System  carries out this process. 2. Neutralization : The  Detoxification System  performs this task 3. Elimination : The  Elimination System  colon and kidneys work to remove toxins. Since the health of the individual is crucial to his or her survival, the body uses these three systems. It also provid

Mercury, the only metallic element that is a liquid under standard temperature and pressure conditions, is widely utilized in many industries and processes. It has been used as a component of dental amalgam since ancient times and is found in fluorescent tubes and thermometers; it is also released into the environment as a result of industrial processes, such as smelting, mining, and energy production. Some mercury is introduced due to naturally occurring phenomena, such as volcanic eruptions. This widespread presence of mercury facilitates the possibility of its introduction into the body, where it can cause either chronic or acute poisoning. The simplest ways to avoid mercury exposure in your immediate environment are to remove fluorescent tubes and thermometers (or, at least, to handle them with extreme care to avoid breakage), to avoid consumption of certain types of fish known to harbour high accumulations of mercury in their tissues, and to undergo a process of  safe amalgam

Many patients have heard the term mercury toxicity associated with fillings but still have many questions about it: what is it, am I affected by it, and what can be done to remediate it? Fillings are made of a substance called dental amalgam. This is a mixture of metals, consisting primarily of mercury. Mercury amalgam has been used as a dental filling material around the world since ancient times and in the United States for nearly 200 years. Mercury toxicity, also called mercury poisoning, is caused by a high level of mercury in the body. The presence of mercury has been shown to cause the wide range of chronic and acute health problems affecting all major systems in the body; neurological, gastrointestinal, immune, and cardiovascular problems have been attributed to mercury toxicity, as has damage to major organs such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs.   The Center for Systemic Dentistry will work with you to determine the best course of treatment to safely remove
