A root canal tooth is a dead tooth. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything going on inside it. Though the tooth is sealed at the top, what’s in the tooth is free to escape through the roots and enter the circulatory system – including any pathogens remaining within the tooth and, more importantly, their […]

Oral Health & Living a Long, Healthy Life
Dr. Reinhold Voll, the German physician whose work provides a good deal of the foundation of biological dentistry, famously observed that 90% of all physical illness can be traced to the mouth. Instantly, you might be thinking of things like mercury amalgam fillings, root canal teeth, and cavitations. After all, these are some of the […]
Everything Old Is New Again – The Oral-Systemic Link
If you know Dr. Weston Price, it’s probably for his landmark research on how the modern Western diet affects the development and health of the teeth and jaws. Yet through his root canal research, he was also largely responsible for popularizing an idea called focal infection theory. This is the idea that local problems can […]
Composites Are Strong – and May Get Even Stronger (and You Can Thank Nature for That)
You often hear dentists who use mercury amalgam insist that fillings made with the stuff last longer than fillings made with tooth-colored composite. Of course, if that were true, it would be all the more reason to avoid them! Think of all the extra years of inhaling the vapors constantly released from one of the […]
How We Make Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
Biological dentists start out as conventional dentists, then evolve through study, reflection and time. It’s certainly true for Dr. Glaros; likewise, all of us here in the office. We take pride in providing dental services that support whole-body health with clinical skill, leading technology, and the body’s innate, God-given ability to heal. Everything we do, […]
Supplements Under Attack – Again!
One reason that industry regulation gets a bad rap, no doubt, is that so much bad regulation seems to get passed. It seems like for every sensible rule that gets proposed – for instance, the one that would require amalgam separators in all dental offices – we get another 9 like the one that’s working […]
The Energetic Aspect of the Mouth/Body Connection
Once upon a time in dentistry, the idea that oral health and whole body health were connected was something that a lot of folks mostly scoffed at (if they thought about it at all). Now it seems not a week goes by without some new research illuminating or confirming the mouth-body relationship. Scientists are consistently […]
The Ongoing Fight for Health Freedom
You may have heard the heartbreaking story of David and Collet Stephan, two Canadian parents now on trial for the death of their 19 month old son Ezekiel. The government claims that they failed to provide him “the necessities of life” after he became ill with what turned out to be bacterial meningitis. According to […]
