Just about a thousand years ago, tea drinking started to become a thing in Japan - thanks to a Buddhist priest named Eisai and a book he wrote called Kissa Yjki (), or Drinking Tea for Health. It’s good for the heart, he said. It’s good for energizing body and mind. Drinking tea before meditation, he believed, would make it easier for monks to reach enlightenment.... https://fremontnaturaldentistry.wordpress.com//tea-can-me/

Think nutrition, and you probably think of food. But in a broader sense, it can encompass anything we provide to our body to fuel it, sustain it, and, ideally, keep it in good working order. Think exercise. Or sleep. Or water. Or the air we breathe. One thing you might not realize, though: How you breathe makes a big difference to both your oral health and your whole body health.... https://fremontnaturaldentistry.wordpress.com//are-you-br/

Think about what you can do to lower your risk of developing cancer. Things like healthy eating, exercise, and limiting exposure to EMFs and environmental toxins probably come to mind. And those are all helpful, to be sure. But many folks don’t realize that maintaining good oral health is a part of that, too - especially healthy gums. This year alone, several new studies have highlighted the link between periodontal (gum) disease and cancer risk.... https://fremontnaturaldentistry.wordpress.com//puffy-blee/

Mercury-free, mercury-safe dentistry has been the norm in our office for years. Why use a neurotoxic material to fix decayed or damaged teeth when the biocompatible materials available today are stronger and more durable than ever - and create a more natural-looking smile? It’s better for our patients, our team, and our environment. And now, at long last, the FDA agrees [ 332 more words ] https://fremontnaturaldentistry.wordpress.com//silver-fil/

Vaping might look cool to some. More than a few people might say that it’s a healthier option than smoking tobacco. But the mouth tells a different story. And the oral effects of vaping can happen fast - in as little as 24 hours, according to one recent study of 123 healthy adults. Some were smokers and some were not.

Dentistry has a huge role to play in limiting the use of mercury. After all, it’s one of the greatest sources of mercury pollution today, contributing about 100 tons of the neurotoxin each year. It’s one reason our office is mercury-free and mercury-safe, and why each year we recognize Mercury-Free Awareness Week each summer in hopes that others will follow the lead of practices like ours.

Ozone has a remarkable range of uses in dentistry, including preventing and treating gum disease, tooth decay, and other infections. But as a patient, you may be less aware of how it also helps keep our water lines clean and pathogen-free. Dental unit water lines - DUWLs, for short - are those skinny tubes that deliver water to handpieces like the ultrasonic scaler we use for deep cleaning and the air/water syringe we use to rinse your mouth.

As we all navigate our new COVID-19 world, researchers around the globe are looking for ways to both treat the ill and keep healthy folks healthy. It’s been especially encouraging to see scientists explore the role vitamins and minerals may play in building immunity and speeding up recovery.

As folks here and around the world are now strongly urged to keep social distance and not engage in any unnecessary trips out and about, know that while our office is open, we are focused only on high priority treatment and dental emergencies, such as infections or damaged teeth.

With all types of allergies on the rise, biocompatibility is more important than ever. Just like you want to be sure that any materials used to replace or restore teeth are a good match for your individual biochemistry, any materials used to support the healing process should be biocompatible, as well. That’s certainly the case with platelet rich fibrin (PRF), which is made from a small amount of your very own blood. [ 411 more words ] https://fremontnaturaldentistry.wordpress.com//platelet-r/

When you choose biological dentistry for your care, it may be easy to forget that not all dental offices are mercury-free and mercury-safe. Many dentists here in the US continue to place amalgam fillings, which are about 50% mercury, one of the most toxic elements on this planet. In fact, roughly half of all mercury pollution in our water comes courtesy of the dental industry. [ 454 more words ] https://fremontnaturaldentistry.wordpress.com//makingmerc/

When looking at the latest in health trends, it can be tough telling what’s truth and what’s clever marketing. This is certainly the case with coconut water. Coconut water is literally the liquid found inside a coconut and not to be confused with coconut milk. The hype is that it somehow has the power to hydrate better than good, old-fashioned, water.

Evidence continues to stack up against fluoride, which makes perfect sense when you consider that it’s a known neurotoxin and endocrine disruptor. Now, several new studies add weight to the case against relying on fluoride to prevent tooth decay. One of these, just published in JAMA Pediatrics, took a fresh look at the suspected relationship between fluoride exposure and lower IQ.

It’s hardly news when dentists tell folks to avoid soda - that the sugary stuff fuels disease, oral and otherwise; that the acids in regular and diet soda alike eat away at tooth enamel, leaving the teeth more vulnerable to decay. Soft drinks do no favors at all for your dental health, even if you’re diligent about your home hygiene, brushing twice daily and [ 405 more words ] https://fremontnaturaldentistry.wordpress.com//the-hard-t/
