Biological Dentistry Is Wave Of Future At Flower Mound Dentistry Practice - By: Dr. Golab

Tuesday, April 21, 2009- FLOWER MOUND, TEXAS – Having metal in your mouth is like licking a metal lollypop for your entire life.

That doesn’t sound appetizing to you? It doesn’t to Dr. Jonathan Golab, either.

Golab, who operates a Flower Mound cosmetic dentistry practice, and his staff quickly are becoming known as the destination for Flower Mound biological dentistry due to their continued dedication to training in the field.
It involves following the protocols set out by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology and the International Association of Mercury Free Dentists, and utilizing biocompatible materials in the body that have the least negative impact on the body and immune system.

Dr. Josef Issels, a German physician, was among the first to make statements about how toxins could potentially be harmful to a person's overall health, according to the American Cancer Society Web site.

It is believed that these toxins can lead to other diseases including joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, cancer and damage to the heart, blood vessels, kidneys and brain. It also is a potential causative factor in Alzheimer’s disease.

The cracks and crevices caused by these metals also can create a breeding ground for harmful bacteria, which can lead to future dental problems, Golab said.

“The materials and procedures used to treat the teeth and jaws have the potential to affect patients’ immune systems and overall health,” he said. “Because of that, we offer methods to eliminate the potential for allergy and/or toxicity of metals with the least disturbance to your immune system and your overall body balance.”

There are many people who still have the old style dark amalgam fillings. Although many people refer to them as “silver” fillings, the truth is that the fillings contain only 30 percent silver. Mercury makes up 50 to 60 percent of the filling and the remainder consists of other metals.

“Calling these fillings ‘silver’ isn’t just inaccurate,” Golab said. “It’s also misleading.”

The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy, the world's best-selling medical textbook, classifies mercury as a poison. Mercury is known to be volatile, meaning that it has the potential to emit a mercury vapor when exposed to changes in temperature or when chewing, Golab said. One filling contains enough mercury to contaminate a lake of 10 square miles, necessitating fishing restrictions.

A strict protocol must be followed when removing mercury fillings so that exposure to the mercury and other potentially harmful metals is minimized. Golab and his staff follow guidelines set forth by The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.

Once the filling is removed, the most predictable method of restoring the tooth is with a natural-looking porcelain “inlay,” he said. Porcelain inlays fit inside the tooth and are created in a laboratory. They often are preferred over tooth-colored fillings because they strengthen the teeth and minimize breakdown. They also are a conservative approach to restoring teeth because less of the natural tooth’s structure must be altered in the process.

Tooth-colored fillings offer an attractive, conservative and cost-effective method of restoring a tooth, but their longevity is limited, Golab said. Inlays provide a more durable, longer lasting option.
