DENTAL TOXICITY

At first blush, discussing the negatives of some dental fillings and other dental work might seem completely unrelated to achieving good nutrition, optimal health, and normal body size. However, the toxins in the typical mouth will often prevent the realization of these goals. In fact, dental toxins represent the largest amount of daily toxin exposure that most people experience—head and shoul­ders above pesticides, air pollution, fluoride, and other sources of environmental toxicity. You should avoid ALL toxin sources that are within your ability to control. Dental toxins are simply often the most significant toxins, and most people have the ability to control how much or how little toxicity they have in their mouths, once they have been completely informed. Aside from the expense and discomfort of visiting your dentist, being properly informed is the only real barrier between you and a toxin-free mouth.
