Effective Mercury Toxisity Treatments - Dr. Philip Memoli | NJ/NYC



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 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 question of whether or not mercury amalgam fillings contribute to mercury exposure is hotly debated.
  • Many dentists believe that amalgam fillings, in use for more than 150 years in this country, are safe and that only a small percentage of the population shows a sensitivity to mercury in fillings. This is the position of the American Dental Association (ADA); however, the organization also supports ongoing research to assure the safety of all materials used in dental work.

  • Many toxicologists associate great risk with the use of mercury amalgam fillings. One researcher, Andrew Cutler, has argued that “millions of people are being poisoned by mercury compounds the medical profession is exposing them to.”

The Center for Systemic Dentistry will work with you to determine the best course of treatment to safely remove your existing mercury amalgam.

What is Root Canal | Local Dental Services - New Jersey , USA

WHAT IS A ROOT CANAL? A root canal-treated (RCT) or root-filled tooth is one in which the dental nerve, commonly called the pulp, is intentionally removed and is filled with an inert material called Gutter perch. Once an RCT is performed, the tooth must be restored with a post and a crown. These will strengthen the tooth and prevent a crack or fracture from developing after treatment. A good analogy is a tree branch. When it is alive, it flexes or bends when pressure is applied. WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF ROOT CANALS? The pro of a Root Canal is obvious: the painful or dead tooth is treated and extraction is avoided. However, we must ask two key questions before starting a root canal. Can the tooth be restored? Can a predictable RCT be performed, or are there risks for a poor result? On the other hand, if the patient chooses extraction, the following surgical and tooth replacement options need to be considered: SURGICAL OPTIONS: Tooth Extraction Bone Grafting...

Research has found four major causes of root canal failure: Tooth or root fracture Infections including bacteria (primarily streptococcus vocalist, etc), viruses, and fungus (Candida, etc). The body’s reaction to root canal materials, microorganisms, and cements which inadvertently are pushed past the tooth into the bone.

How to Safely Remove Mercury Amalgam Silver Fillings

Image
When the element mercury accumulates to a high concentration in the body, it can lead to a variety of acute and chronic medical problems, including organ damage and compromise of major bodily systems. Because of the widespread usage of mercury in dental amalgam materials, many people are susceptible to mercury toxicity and its associated health issues. Dentists and toxicologists are divided over the extent of the danger posed by mercury amalgam fillings. Even those who agree that mercury amalgam is hazardous are further divided over whether the safer protocol is to remove them or to leave them untouched. Paradoxically, improper removal of old fillings can cause greater exposure to mercury. Dentists who focus on safe amalgam removal must receive specialized training in the practice; they also follow government guidelines for containment of mercury vapor during the procedure and disposal of mercury-containing materials afterward. Mercury toxicity is a health problem that r...
