Fluoridation - the practice of adding a high-fluoride substance
to public drinking water, ostensibly for the prevention of dental
caries in young children. In the past few decades, the highfluoride
substance used in the fluoridation of water comes from
hazardous industrial waste, captured by the air pollution control
equipment at phosphate fertilizer plants. The well-documented)
health effects of water fluoridation are a sharply increased
incidence of dental fluorosis, which is damage to the enamel and
dentine of the tooth caused by the poisoning of the enzyme that
is needed for proper collagen formation. (Collagen is the main
structural protein used in the formation of teeth, bones and
connective tissue.) For more information, visit the website of
the Fluoride Action Network, www.FLUORIDEalert.org.
Holistore - Heavy Body Holistore is a dental composite filling
material that is specially made without the addition of aluminum,
iron, or other metal oxides, or) fluoride. Despite the lack of
“fillers” (substance that blocks x-ray) usually used to thicken the
resin, this type of Holistore is made with a heavier viscosity so
that it can be used as a composite filling material.
- Holistore (light) – this is a non-toxic Holistore material made
as above, but which is less viscous. This Holistore is used only
for bonding crowns, inlays, onlays, or bridges onto the prepared
teeth.
Homeopathy - a health care system used to treat illness and
prevent disease, in which the patient is given highly diluted
amounts of a substance (from a mineral, plant, or animal) in
order to stimulate the body‟s own natural healing life-force.
With the help of an expert, trained practitioner, called a
homeopath, a remedy (the highly diluted substance) is chosen,
from a wide range of possible remedies, to match the overall
condition of the patient. Dentists trained in the use of
homeopathy may use homeopathic remedies for patients wishing
to alleviate pain, fight off infection and speed recovery from a
surgery.
