An acute inflammatory autonomic nervous system response is the immune system noticing a foreign irritant and sending signals via neurotransmitters to the sympathetic nervous system. This activates an inflammatory cascade to combat the pathogens. To reduce the inflammation, the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system activates to facilitate the shut down of the inflammatory process.

Chronic inflammation is a long-acting inflammatory process due to a constant need for the sympathetic nervous system and an ensuing need for the parasympathetic nervous system. Metal in the mouth in the form of "silver" mercury fillings, ceramic implants, porcelain fused to metal crowns, and bacterial overload stemming from gum and bone disease and root canals can cause chronic jaw infections known as NICO.

Every cell in our body has an MHC (major histocompatibility complex). This tells our immune system that this cell belongs to us. If the MHC is changed, then our system doesn't recognize the cell. This is no good because our system attacks them. 

Toxins from RCT (root canal therapy) and jaw infections bind to the MHC and change their form. In addition, mercury from silver fillings binds to MHC, changing its form. If the cell is a muscle cell, it can cause MS; if the cell is a nerve cell, it can cause ALS. For quality holistic dental care, be sure to get in touch with us today.

Root canaled teeth are dead. Dentistry is the only medical profession that leaves dead body parts in the body. Because the nerve tissue running through the roots of the teeth are zig-zagged and have accessory-side canals, RCT can never totally remove all the tissue.

The nerve tissue either partially remains in the tooth or is pushed out to the end of the root during RCT. Bacteria digest these tissues and release toxins. These toxins activate the inflammatory process of the immune system and/or attach to the MHC (major histocompatibility complex), changing its form.

• Ceramic/zirconia implants achieve 100% bony integration, unlike the inflammatory integration seen with titanium implants.
• These implants support proper energy flow through the body’s meridians.
• They allow soft tissue to attach firmly to the implant surface, in contrast to the loose, flabby tissue typically found around metal implants.
• Ceramic/zirconia implants do not cause allergic reactions or introduce heavy metals into the body.

• Kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi while removing necrotic tissue and cells.
• Enhances recovery time after procedures.
• Promotes enamel remineralization by supporting a healthy biofilm.

Biologic dentistry views the mouth as an integral part of the body, recognizing its influence on overall health. Sources of chronic inflammation in the mouth can activate the autonomic nervous system, triggering a "fight or flight" response. This approach focuses on helping the body heal itself by treating oral health in connection with the entire system.

Amalgam (silver) fillings contain approximately 50% mercury. Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for mercury is 2 parts per million (PPM). Research shows that mercury vapor is released during chewing, brushing, grinding, and clenching, exposing the body to toxic levels. Removal of mercury fillings should be done using the SMART protocol to ensure safety and minimize exposure.

Airway dentistry addresses issues like sleep apnea and obstructive breathing caused by the collapse of throat muscles and tissues. Mouth structure, including improper tongue position, retruded lower jaw, retrognathic upper jaw, tooth wear, and loss of vertical dimension, can all contribute to airway disorders.

Symptoms of Airway Issues:

• Snoring
• Dry mouth upon waking
• Morning headaches
• Frequent nighttime urination
• Feeling unrested

Plasma-rich fibrin (PRF) has been used in the medical field for 20 years. This treatment, derived from your blood, promotes the regeneration of both soft and hard tissues. Blood is spun in a centrifuge to create a superclot, which consists of a concentrated mix of the individual’s platelets, growth factors, and chemical messengers. This fibrin glue serves as a scaffold for soft tissue to grow and heal.

Additionally, we can combine this fibrin glue with graft material to create a sticky bone for bone regeneration. Research indicates that PRF is more effective for soft tissue regeneration than for bone regeneration. We employ various biologically favorable graft materials for bone regeneration, tailored to the specific bony topography and site of regeneration.
