There are lots of reasons you might need to get a tooth extracted. It might be deeply diseased. Or it could be a root canal tooth – a dead tooth – that’s come to be a source of focal infection. (A focal infection is where the effects of illness show up far away from the […]

Dr. Hal Huggins’ Legacy to Biological Dentistry – and to Us
This past weekend, dentistry lost a legend: Dr. Hal Huggins. The author of such important books as It’s All in Your Head and Uniformed Consent – among many others – Dr. Huggins probably did more than anyone to bring attention to the problem of mercury toxicity from “silver” amalgam fillings, not to mention other dental […]
From the Archives: The Foundation of Healing from Mercury Amalgam & Other Dental Toxins
Originally posted September 18, 2012; updated If mercury fillings are so toxic, why doesn’t everyone who has them get sick? Why doesn’t everyone with long-term, chronic illness heal quickly once triggers such as root canal teeth or cavitations are removed or treated? Why do some people not heal at all – or even get sicker? […]

Besides, you don’t really need […]
When Chronic Illness Starts in the Jawbone
Like many people, Suzin Stockton discovered the link between oral and systemic health first hand – through her own health struggles. Her research and continuing education led her to biological dentistry and a deep understanding of how focal infection and other sources of oral and dental toxins undermine whole body health. As she says at […]

PRF: Faster Healing, Less Post-Op Discomfort
At the heart of biological dentistry, there’s a kind of interesting paradox. On the one hand, it’s grounded in leading edge technology and techniques; on the other, in ancient, traditional healing methods. Lasers and herbs. Digital x-rays and acupuncture. Nano-composites and nutritional wisdom. Because of the way biological dentistry brings together and synthesizes these practices, […]
