IS YOUR DENTIST MAKING YOU AND YOUR KIDS DUMBER? I HAVE A SOLUTION
I was lecturing at the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine last week. As I was listening to Thomas Levy M.D. lecture on the relationship between oral and systemic health, he said, “The absolute worse thing you can do for your own health is to see a conventional dentist. The absolute best thing you can do for your own health is to see a dentist trained and educated in biological dentistry.“ The more I thougth about that, the more profound that statement and it is true. So true, in fact, that I thought it was worth focusing my April blog on this very topic. There are many problems in our health care system and enough blame to go around so I am not just picking on dentists.
However, there are specific things dentists do that can either positively or negatively affect your systemic health. The first is mercury amalgam fillings that dentists have used to fill cavities dating back to the 1830s. As a kid born in the 1970’s I had 6 mercury amalgam fillings as a kid. It wasn’t until I was an adult and learned about mercury amalgams from my biological dentist. I immediately had them removed. Mercury is a heavy metal and known toxin that causes neurological and neuromuscular issues. You’ve heard the old saying “Mad as a Hatter“ that refers to people acting erratic or with mental instability. This saying is from the 1800s, when hat makers used a process called “carroting” to treat and shape felt hats. This involved immersing the hats in a solution of mercuric nitrate, which helped to remove fur and make the hats more pliable. However, this process also exposed the workers to high levels of mercury vapor and when they steamed the hat the mercury vapors were released and it caused neurological disease. The same thing happens every time we chew, a small amount of mercury in the amalgam tooth is released. That small amount may not cause any acute issues but think about the accumulation over years. That is the problem and why mercury amalgams must be safely removed. Remarkably, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and American Dental Association (ADA) state that dental amalgam is a durable, safe, and effective cavity-filling option for the general population even today. There most recent statement is that it should not be used in children under the age of 6 or pregnant mothers. If it is not safe for pregnancy or kids then how in the hell is it safe in others? For more information on mercury, search for Boyd Haley, Ph.D., a chemist who has investigated mercury toxicity for decades.
Another major contributor to chronic disease used by conventional dentists is fluoride. Fluorine is a naturally occurring element with a molecular weight of 19, meaning it is a very small molecule that can be absorbed directly in the mouth. When fluorine reacts with things like sodium it is referred to as fluoride. It is found in the upper right hand corner of the periodic table of the elements. If you remember back from you chemistry courses, you will know that its position in the periodic table makes it the most electronegative elements on the planet. That means that it will steal electrons better than any other molecule. Oxidation occurs when a molecule loses an electron. Oxidation Is a Loss of electrons and Reduction Is a Gain of electrons. Remember OILRIG. Think of oxidation as rust. That’s right, fluoride causes oxidative stress or rust inside our bodies and oxidative stress causes disease. Yet many dentists still recommend we use fluoride as part of our oral care. Toothpaste companies even put this poison in most toothpaste. Most people never read the back of their toothpaste so I show a label above. Each pea size amount of conventional toothpaste contains about 0.5mg of fluoride. How many people do you know that only put a pea size amount of toothpaste on their toothbrush? Most people completely fill their bristle with a giant glob of toothpaste. That is about 10-20 times what is recommended, so each time you are brushing your teeth, you are being exposed to about 5-10mg fluoride. The upper limit of fluoride for adults in 10mg daily and you get this from a single brushing using fluoride toothpaste. You will also see on the label instructions to call Poison Control Center if you swallow your toothpaste since it contains a poison, FLUORIDE. You do not even have to swallow it since it freely is absorbed in the mouth and gums.
There is indisputable data now from the National Toxicology Program that fluoride decreases IQ in kids. In America 74% of municipalities have fluoride in the tap water. We get fluoride from the water we drink, the water we cook in, the water we bathe in. We are getting fluoride from our dentists, from our toothpastes and many people use mouthwash with fluoride. This has to stop. Fortunately, there is a movement to remove fluoride from drinking water by the government. Obviously the FDA and ADA are slow to make any changes since they still think mercury is safe.
That is why I have developed my own line of oral care products. I have been preaching about antiseptic mouthwash, fluoride and the oral microbiome for almost 20 years. Instead of just complaining, I decided to provide a solution. I have spent the past 8 years trying to figure out how to formulate a safe toothpaste that can help remineralize teeth, protect from cavities, normalize salivary pH and protect the oral microbiome. I also wanted to provide a nice clean feel with a fresh breath. Well I finally cracked the code. This month we are launching our nitric oxide friendly toothpaste, Cardiosmile. This, folks, is a game changer in oral care. We have done what no one else has been able to do and what many said could not be done. I’ve heard that before. Our oral care line of products which will also include a mouth rinse coming in May is targeting the oral microbiome to enhance nitric oxide production so the good bacteria can police and kill the bad pathogenic bacteria.
I have a challenge for you. Switch from your current toothpaste to our Cardiosmile and let me know how this changes your life. Early reports have revealed normalization of healthy blood pressure, fresher breathe even in those who suffered from bad breathe after brushing, better sexual function, optimal salivary pH, better gum health and reports from their dentists. We must support our healthy microbiome and not destroy it. Demand that your dentist stop using fluoride in their practice. Demand that your dentist start using nitric oxide friendly oral care products. You be the agent of change in dental medicine. I am here to help drive innovation to improve health care around the world. Good health begins in the mouth and I have the solution.
