Dental Problems

Dr. Aguilera is not a conventional dentist. He has focused on alternative health care dentistry. He works closely with alternative health care practitioners to provide truly biocompatible metal-free dentistry. He maintains a state-of -the-art dental office that utilizes computers and lasers to provide pain free dental treatment.

PERIODONTAL DISEASE

Symptoms of periodontal disease are bleeding when brushing or flossing and inflammation of the gums. If left unchecked, this can be very serious and lead to bone problems especially in people over the age of 40.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT

Co-Enzyme Q10 100 mg daily. This enhances oxygenation to the gums and can prevent or reverse periodontal disease.

AMALGAMS/FILLINGS

Silver and metal fillings are potential problems. However, many dentists remove these and put in plastic composites. It is important to replace the fillings with bio-compatible products.

A serum compatibility test will show what materials are compatible for you. It is important to know if the material being used is neurotoxic to you. Many composites are a plastic based petrol product. The best choice is a ceramic filling. When taking metals out of the mouth, be sure to have the products that are being put back in properly tested for bio-compatibility.

GOOD DENTAL HYGIENE

Floss first before brushing to loosen plaque. (or use a water pik). Use an ultrasonic toothbrush which massages the gums and reaches into the deep crack between teeth. The best choice for a mouthwash is often hydrogen peroxide, but do not use this if you have many amalgam fillings.

FLUORIDE

The EPA prohibits industries from putting into waste products the amount of fluoride that municipalities put into their water supplies. Fluoride has not been found to prevent decay. It makes the tooth surface harder (petrifies the enamel) The holes of decay are therefore smaller.

CALCIUM

Before having dental work done, support yourself nutritionally with calcium. Make sure your digestion is good and your lymph drainage system is functioning well as the liver flushes metals out of the body.

NEW ON THE HORIZON

Laser root canals. It will no longer be necessary to have the tooth removed when doing a root canal.
