THE MOST TYPICAL DENTAL MATERIALS THAT TEST AS "CLEAN" AND RELATIVELY INERT

Note: It is important to always be conservative and leave the tooth as intact as possible. Thus, the best holistic dentists will avoid crowning a tooth until it is absolutely necessary. For example, when a regular filling is no longer sufficient, first an inlay should be considered. If that is not sufficient than a larger onlay may be necessary. Finally, if these restorations are not enough, then a crown should be placed--but only as a last resort. Therefore, always consider getting a second opinion if your dentist doesn't offer inlays or onlays, but immediately recommends crowns to replace your fillings. (And similarly, also always get a second opinion if your dentist recommends a root canal.)

Note: Be sure and follow the directions for detoxification on the "5 Dental Days' Protocol," as well as taking ongoing supplementation over the next few months in order to help your body drain, detoxify and heal as quickly as possible. This is just as important for the detoxification of the metals that were removed as it is for the glues and cements that were used in the new replacement restorations, which by their very nature are always toxic to some degree.⁹¹

Additionally, it is important to remember that since dental materials come and go, always check with your holistic dental physician to find out the most up-to-date materials that are currently available. Also, this list will be frequently updated on the author's website at www.radicalmedicine.com.

84 Holistore (from the Den-Mat company) and Premise Indirect (formerly Belle Glass) with no shade are the two filling and crown materials that Dr. Douglas Cook, one of the leading holistic dentists in America, has found to be the most compatible and inert for over a decade. However, because the "no shade" has no metal tints at all contained in it, it appears colorless and therefore can look a little strange in the mouth. (The shade is an iron oxide.) Therefore, if the filling, inlay, onlay or crown is in a visible front tooth, then even the highly sensitive patient might choose to try and handle the "shade" option for this particular restoration.
