I’m confused about something. I told my sister I was looking for a general dentist and she said I should really be looking for a holistic dentist. She’s one of those people who (even though she doesn’t realize it) is always looking to show she knows more than you do. Because of that, I didn’t […]
Mercury Versus BPA Laden Fillings
I have a mouth full of amalgam fillings. I recently learned they’re filled with mercury. I did some research because I thought I might be better off replacing them, but then I learn the composite fillings are laden with BPA. Is one worse than the other or am I doomed either way? Laura Dear Laura, […]
Could I get sick from ingesting amalgam?
I recently decided to have a couple of my old metal fillings replaced with tooth-colored composite ones. My dentist pretty much said it wasn’t necessary, but finally agreed to replace them since they slightly worn down. During the removal, I’m pretty sure a large piece of the amalgam fell on my tongue.

Could the holistic dentist have saved my tooth?
I’m really worried I made a bad call by going to see a holistic dentist. I’m 24 weeks pregnant and had a major infection that made half of my face swell up and leave me in total agony. I knew I had to have some kind of treatment done, but I was also really worried […]
Could my high blood pressure be caused by silver fillings?
I was just diagnosed with high blood pressure and it totally caught me off guard. I certainly can’t claim to be a super healthy person, but I try to watch what I eat, stay pretty active and I don’t smoke. I even checked to see if anyone in my family has high blood pressure and […]
“Holistic” dentist… serious or a scam?
I’m wondering if holistic dentists are legit. I was considering seeing one because I’m more into natural options and treating my whole body, not just symptoms, but I read somewhere that there’s no such thing as a legit holistic dentist. The article put it on par with naturopathic doctors, and how many states don’t even […]
