Is metal in your mouth healthy?

Is Metal Bad?

We know that Mercury is toxic so why would you put metal in your mouth? Several decades ago, dentist used a metal silver amalgams that were 50% Mercury. Not only that but think how a highway bridge is designed for expansion and contraction to deal with the seasonal temperature changes. You mouth also experiences extreme temperature changes. For example drinking hot coffee or eating cold ice cream. Metal fillings or crowns will expand and contract within your tooth. The mouth is full of bacteria and acidity to create an even more caustic reaction to the metal.

Dental Technology

Dental technology has improved so much since I was a child. Not only are fillings much smaller but they no longer use metal. Gold crowns, Silver amalgams fillings, Titanium posts have been phased out for Ceramic. Periodontist no longer have to scrape, they can use lasers. Lasers not only kill bacterial infections but they can also help stimulate healing and regenerate stem cells. Check out my previous blog on how to regenerate stem cells.

Fear Of Dentist

Don’t be scared is easier said than done. Fear is extremely unhealthy. It can have a negative response on the immune system, adrenal system and brain chemistry. Remember that the dentist is there to help you get a healthy mouth!
