he <strong>to</strong>ld them “I feel better than I have in years.” George <strong>to</strong>ld the<br />
doc<strong>to</strong>rs that “Dr. Fritz” had figured out that the cause of his pain<br />
and fatigue was the metal partial. George was off <strong>to</strong> the V.A.<br />
hospital dental clinic the next morning for an all plastic partial.<br />
Case: Fritz, age 64, high blood pressure.<br />
Fritz, the person mentioned in the previous case, had had<br />
high blood pressure before I removed his mercury silver<br />
amalgams. At each appointment I <strong>to</strong>ok Fritz‟s blood pressure.<br />
His blood pressure did not change until I replaced his stainless<br />
steel partial with an all-plastic partial. Compatible dental<br />
materials helped his blood pressure <strong>to</strong> normalize.<br />
The cases about George and Fritz demonstrate how dental<br />
materials may be a primary cause of pain and of poor health.<br />
Knowing the content of dental materials can direct health<br />
practitioners <strong>to</strong> many patient problems. Along with x-rays and<br />
CEDS, Material Safety Data Sheets are a big help in evaluating<br />
affects of res<strong>to</strong>rative dental materials.<br />
Dental Gold<br />
Dental gold, an alloy of gold and other metals, is a <strong>to</strong>xic<br />
material used <strong>to</strong> make crowns and other res<strong>to</strong>rations. Pure gold<br />
or gold foil can also be a disturbance <strong>to</strong> the patient‟s health, the<br />
same as with the dental gold alloy. (See Chapter 8 for Case<br />
his<strong>to</strong>ry about Dr. Dave‟s gold inlays and gold foil removal).<br />
Dental gold has an affinity for mercury released from silver<br />
mercury amalgam fillings. High heat will greatly increase the<br />
release of mercury vapor from gold res<strong>to</strong>rations that are<br />
contaminating it. Order the “Smoking Teeth=Poisonous Gases”<br />
DVD (DAMS Phone: 1 800-311-6265) and you can see this<br />
demonstrated in the video.<br />
Dental materials in teeth, if visible on x-rays, contain a metal<br />
or a metal oxide. But fluoride, which is also undesirable, is a<br />
