Skip to content Why avoid dentists?
Dentists remove body parts (teeth) and instead put carcinogens and heavy metals in the head in the name of ‘health.’ Most dentists do not know how to look up online the basic specs with ingredients of the carcinogenic cements and composites that they put daily in people’s heads (mouth).
Teeth are organs, not ‘horse shoes’ for eating.
Teeth are body organs. They have their own lymphatic drainage, blood supply and nerve system like other organs. There are microscopic tubes throughout the tooth which supply the tooth with the nourishment it needs. Incredibly, each tooth also corresponds energetically to a different organ within the rest of the body.
What affects a specific tooth has an influence on a specific organ. And the connecting organ also affects the linked tooth. There are cases when a woman who develops breast cancer previously had a root canal on an upper bicuspid (premolar) on the same side of the body as the affected breast. Since a root canal is a dead tooth, there was a disturbed flow of energy to that breast. When the root canal was extracted, the body dismantled the tumor and the lump disappeared.
Traditional dentistry does not value teeth as organs but merely as tools for eating and for their look in a smile. They drill and grind down teeth haphazardly without any regard that they are living organs because they think they can repair them so a person can still eat and smile. Dentists are not concerned at all about cementing foreign or toxic materials into the body since they do not regard teeth as parts of the whole body. Most dentists function as tooth carpenters.
This classic Tooth Meridian Chart shows how each tooth corresponds energetically to an different organ. Toxic dental work interferes not only with teeth but with the entire body.
Some estimate that 80% of chronic health problems are caused by toxic dentistry.
If a person gets an organ transplant, they take medications to prevent the body from destroying the foreign organ, since the body will dismantle foreign elements to maintain bodily integrity. When it comes to dental fillings, since they are made from metals and plastics, even though the body senses the foreign dental filling, it cannot break it down. An autoimmune disease can result from the body rejecting the dental filling. Additionally, root canals can cause systemic infection. And silver fillings release mercury into the head which causes dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Dentistry is based on the Western medicine premise that the body doesn’t self heal but needs pharma medicine to rip out body parts that are in pain or inflamed. And dentistry is also based on the Western medical view that all disease is caused by germs and genetics; that there is nothing to do to influence health.
It is not about germs or genetics, but all about the terrain. Poor nutrition and toxicity are the causes of illness. The dentistry philosophy is based on the Western medicine model and neither has answers on what the body needs to self heal. The body is built with innate wisdom to naturally move towards self healing. If the conditions change that originally caused the illness, the body will automatically self heal.
A cavity will self heal with a change in diet.
Just like germs are not the cause of illness, bacteria are not the cause of cavities. If a person eats food that causes a constant sugar rush, their teeth will demineralize even if they brush every hour. Brushing teeth is for social reasons only, so food should not be stuck in the teeth.
Tooth brushing has no impact on cavities. Healthy teeth is all about what foods a person eats.
Cavities and decay are caused by a demineralization of the teeth by a constant sugar rush. By eating refined sugar, fake sugar, processed grains or flours, or processed food the body uses calcium and phosphorus from the bones to replenish after a sugar rush which causes a demineralization of the body. If there’s a constant sugar rush and demineralization, The body will prioritize central organs so the teeth will be the first to demineralize. Homemade baked goods from processed flour means whatever is baked is a processed food. Flour milled in a factory is stripped of the germ and crucial vitamins a person needs to live.
Dr. Weston Price was a dentist from a hundred years ago who went around the world for ten years to try to discover what foods to eat for good teeth. He photographed the teeth of what isolated groups of people looked like and recorded their diets. The photos of groups of people who ate a completely unprocessed diet show perfect white teeth with no cavities and perfectly formed jaws with enough space for the teeth. Even old people had perfect teeth. They had no dentists and tooth brushing, both of which have no impact on preventing cavities. These people were also free from contagious and degenerative diseases. The diets in the many places varied based on what grew naturally and what animals they had access to, but the common thread was that it was a completely unprocessed diet.
When Dr. Price went into the cities, he saw kids with teeth that were stained, broken, missing, and crooked because of overcrowding teeth and with cavities. He recorded their Western diets of sugar, refined flour and processed vegetable fats. The people eating this processed diet also had contagious diseases and degenerative diseases. Price also showed photos of cavities that self healed with new layers of dentin, after a diet change. Teeth should not be drilled into by a dentist. Processed foods cause cavities by the body becoming demineralized by needing to use calcium and phosphorus from its bones to remineralize after a sugar rush. A nonstop sugar rush after eating refined flour and sugar will devitalize the teeth and the entire body. The body will prioritize the bones over the teeth and the teeth will become first to demineralize from processed foods. If such a diet continues, after the teeth demineralize, the rest of the body will demineralize which will cause degenerative diseases like bone decay, cancer, heart disease, diabetes and dementia. Below are just two of the many photos of people’s teeth from the different cultures that Price photographed for his book.
On the left, New Zealand primitive natives, the Maori, have had the reputation of having the finest teeth and finest bodies of any race in the world. On the right, modernized whites of New Zealand, claimed to have the poorest teeth in the world.
On the left, primitive Aborigines of Australia. Note the magnificent dental arches and beautiful teeth of these primitives. On the right, first modernized generation of Aborigines. Note the characteristic narrowing of the dental arches and crowding of the teeth. This is primarily due to faulty development of the maxillary bones from poor nutrition.

A drill is like a surgical knife.
Dentists use a drill which is strong enough to permanently destroy the structure of the tooth. Dentists use it to take away what they call decay. To remove decay is like removing part of someone’s flesh if one has a bruise. Cavities (the small natural hole) fill in and decay (soft part) completely remineralize and harden once someone changes their diet. One should stay away from the drill at all costs. Dentists use a euphemistic term ‘clean the cavity’ as a way to drill away the decay and make the tiny natural cavity at least 100X times the size. In addition to destroying the structure of the tooth, the drill’s pressure also damages sensitive single cell tubes inside other teeth from the high pressure drill blasting in the mouth. The body cannot naturally fill up a man made pot hole made by a dentist’s drill. With a change in diet, enough new layers of dentin will form to fill a natural cavity only. Once a person drills into a sound tooth, it starts the cycle towards death for that tooth. A tooth is small and fillings or restorations only last a few years, and with each restoration, more tooth structure is removed by a dentist, until the tooth is gone. Drilling into a tooth also makes that a person needs maintenance on that tooth indefinitely. Fillings do not last so if a person agrees to a filling in a tooth, they are agreeing to needing a lifetime of dentistry maintenance for that tooth. If you do not start with dentists, you will not need them!
Like in any industry, dentists use marketing to attract patients to come into their offices. A fairly recent marketing ruse is that people should come every 6 months for a ‘check up’ and ‘cleaning.’ Dental cleanings can damage the protein layers of the teeth. And a regular check up is an opportunity for a dentist to tell you whether you have a ‘cavity.’ The body would remineralize a cavity naturally with a change in diet, and teeth don’t need to be destroyed to order to ‘protect’ them.
A dentist can not possibly pay staff and office rent by just doing routine cleanings. Drilling and filling teeth is the only way to cover basic expenses. More invasive procedures are more lucrative and this is how a dentist makes money. Many dentists are inclined to recommend root canals or extractions and implants since they are much more profitable than a filling.
If someone wants to switch out an unsafe filling material, they can do it with a composite that doesn’t have carcinogens or BPA and without drilling out more of the tooth. A tooth that hasn’t been damaged by dentist drill should be left alone! Drilling a tooth with a natural cavity is the beginning of the end of that tooth. Do not drill a tooth that has a cavity!
If a tooth was already damaged with a drill, it’s best to get cleaner composites and bonding agents that you can request your dentist to use. All dental ingredients can be viewed online if you have the name of the company and name of product.
You don’t need a dentist to see if you have cavities.
A sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet food is a sign of decay or a cavity, a notice from the body that food habits need to be stopped and the teeth need remineralization.
The better class of dentist is a biomimetic dentist.
Biomimetic dentists believe removing less of the tooth is better. And that a drill starts the cycle towards death for a tooth. When you break something, it it no longer sound. It becomes compromised on how well it will function and how long it will last. Most teeth that are drilled into will have more sensitivity and pain after then they had before. Once a tooth is drilled it will likely turn gray. If a part of someone’s arm was removed, would the arm stay the original color? Some biomimetic dentists may not use a drill to remove more of the tooth to switch fillings, but rather use air abrasion. Some better dentists do not drill away the top biting ability of a tooth in order reach cavities between the teeth, but use a simple plastic tool to put composite at the base of the tooth.
Traditional dentist believe ‘extension for prevention,’ to extend the natural cavity by creating a huge man made hole with a lot of drilling as a ‘prevention’ of further ‘tooth decay.’ That means most dentist break and destroy teeth with a drill to prevent ‘tooth decay’ spreading. This lunacy causes barbaric forms of dentistry. Biomimetic dentists believe in tooth preservation, and no removal of heathy tooth structure, since the more tooth structure removed, the less likely a tooth will last a lifetime. ‘Unhealthy,’ softer tooth structure will heal and harden with a diet change and should not either be removed!
You can find a biomimetic dentist though teacher Matt Nejad. And on the websites of these biomimetic programs: thebaardinstitute.com, allemancenter.com and aobmd.org.
Free biomimetic courses for laymen to learn more on how traditional dentistry grinds down healthy teeth and how to avoid this kind of dentistry:

- Aobmd.org/free-webinars/
- If you submit your email on the homepage drpaulomalley.com, they will email you their biomimetic dental course
- Dr. Panahpour on Youtube.com
It is necessary to check the filling materials a biomimetic dentist is using that they are not carcinogenic. The safety data sheets for all cements and composites can be looked up online. Most are full of toxic carcinogens, endocrine disruptors and the neurotoxin fluoride.
Holistic dentists are better than traditional dentists because many will not do root canals because root canals can cause systemic infection and joint pain. A root canal is when a dentist destroys the root and middle of a tooth so the tooth becomes a dead organ but the tooth shell stays for its natural look and then usually gets capped on top with a foreign material. This becomes trapped dead body tissue with no way for a potential infection to drain. Root canals can cause a range of severe health issues and many people who have root canals will pull the tooth out after finding out root canal risks.
Holistic dentists may use ozone to clean a tooth before a filling. Holistic dentists won’t use silver color amalgam fillings which are half mercury or even other metal fillings or zirconia metal implants.
But most holistic dentists are extremely invasive and jump to drill and remove huge portions of the tooth, even if they may put a less toxic filling in.
So the best dentists are both holistic (or systemic or biological) and biomimetic.
All fillings are a problem. Some are deadly.
Silver amalgam fillings are half mercury by weight and can cause dementia and Alzheimer’s (and autoimmune disease, Parkinson’s, MS, depression, anxiety, heart issues, hearing loss, kidney disease, infertility, chronic fatigue, a partial list from iaomt.org) by releasing measurable amounts of mercury vapors into the head with each bite of hot and cold food. You can find a dentist to safely remove amalgam mercury fillings on iaomt.org.
All metals in the mouth amplify the body messaging system. Additionally, metal caps that are called stainless steel are really half nickel, a toxic metal that causes systemic issues. I know a child who had ear pain for three long years while he had a ”stainless” cap, which is half nickel, and the pain stopped when the metal was removed. Many ceramics have aluminum in them.
Metal and ceramic fillings require huge amounts of tooth material to be drilled out in order for the filling to fit. Plastics require less breakage.
All composites deaden the teeth messaging system because plastic doesn’t carry a body message. Many composites have BPA and carcinogens. Plastic is still the preferred tooth filling material since it is less hard than tooth material, so it won’t damage the opposing teeth.
With any restoration, it is important to only use only a material that is the same strength as the tooth, not stronger or weaker. If the restoration is weaker, grinding food will make the filling shrink. Material that is weaker than a natural tooth is better than using a material that is stronger than a natural tooth. If a material that is stronger than a natural tooth is glued and attached to a tooth (called an onlay, inlay or crown), it can dent or crack the opposing tooth in the mouth and may crack the tooth it is cemented to. Ceramic, Emax, Zirconia and metals are materials that are used but they are at least three times the strength of a natural tooth. Some ceramics and metals are much more than three times stronger than tooth material.
Forwardontics is the new Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a backward way of straightening teeth. It does not address the root cause for the crooked teeth which is usually because of mouth breathing. This is why people who get braces need to wear a night appliance their whole lives, otherwise the teeth will shift right back. Orthodontics also uses braces that are made from nickel which cause health issues and they weaken teeth roots by moving teeth around. Some orthodontists also cement the braces onto the teeth by etching the teeth which permanently damage the tooth enamel.
The body was designed that the teeth should come in straight with enough room for all the teeth. Proper nutrition which includes eating raw crunchy vegetables will help make the mouth muscles strengthen and develop when the mouth is closed during chewing. Breastfeeding encourages proper myofacial development. Pacifiers, thumb sucking and sippy cups can cause crooked teeth since they interfere with the tongue resting on the roof of the mouth. It is very important to make sure a child’s mouth is closed during the day and at night, besides while talking. The tongue is a very powerful muscle and it must rest at the roof of the mouth. It is this tongue position that will enable proper upper palate development and attractive face structure (round and chiseled instead of long). Mouth breathing can cause a crooked nose (deviated septum), crooked teeth, a long face, dry mouth, snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, swollen tonsils, heavy breathing, nasal congestion and small palate. When a person switches to nose breathing, the face and nose shape will change (especially if it is a younger child) and the rest of those breathing issues will also resolve. The face structure is formed rapidly between ages 7-11, so it is very important to make sure a child is not mouth breathing for proper facial muscles and straight teeth to develop.
GOpex (Good Oral Posture Exercises) and mewing are forwardontic exercises you can look up online, for older kids who already have crooked teeth and small palate from years of mouth breathing. These myofacial exercises may help reverse those issues to enlarge the palate which will help straighten teeth. Dr. John Mew came up with a way to expand the upper palate and improve face structure (chiseled jawline) by practicing ‘mewing,’ to suction with the tongue the roof of the mouth. Of course, traditional orthodontics does not support this since there will be no need for braces if kids only breathed through their nose and did some mewing.
Myobrace, Vivos and Myomunchee are early removeable mouth appliances to help straight teeth form if a child was a mouth breather. The Myobrace also helps train a child to breathe with the mouth closed. People tape their mouths with 3M micropore tape when learning to transition to nose breathing. Dr. Leonard Kundel has branches in CT and NY and their office might be a resource for forwardontic appliances. I do not recommend using their recommendations for myofacial therapists. It is very important not to x-ray your child to get a mouth appliance. You can always find out the appliance that is recommended and then find a dentist through the appliance’s company to install it, without an x-ray. Ionizing radiation in x-rays causes cancer and DNA damage.
This sketch shows the basic differences in facial development of a nose breather (top sketch) and mouth breather (bottom sketch).
Other dentistry dangers
It is very important not to remove any more tooth material when switching out an old filling for a new filling. Even if the dentist says there is ‘decay’ or the new filling will not stick, you should not remove any more of the tooth structure. Tooth ‘decay’ is not trash, it is a body part. And a tooth is less likely to last, the less tooth structure there is.
Dental terms are all smooth sounding euphemisms for very barbaric procedures that will cause immense damage to teeth, many times worse than what could happen to a person naturally. An average middle aged American who has frequented the dentist more than a dozen times over the course of a lifetime has much more damage to their teeth by dentists as ‘preventative’ than what would possibly have happened if they lived even thousand years without going to a dentist. In some cultures, even many groups of people that live in the US, never go to a dentist and these people have full sets of perfect undrilled natural teeth as old people. I have interviewed many of them. The prevailing myth in the US that dentists prevent tooth decay needs to be eradicated.
You can watch on Youtube what is entailed to do a root canal, crown or a bridge. It is not a view for the fainthearted! Root canal is a non jarring name for a procedure that destroys the entire tooth center and nerve below, turning the tooth into a dead tooth. Bridge is a name that refers to grinding down and decimated two healthy adjacent teeth to a missing tooth, to have a floating tooth in the middle that will be very annoying to live with. A crown is a fake tooth that traditional dentists place only after removing most of a tooth and leaving a small stub of tooth. It will likely not last since the tooth base can crack from having to support a heavy ‘helmet’ many times the strength of the tooth. And the opposing teeth will dent from grinding into such a strong material. Even the term explorer, is a sweet term for the least damaging tool a dentist has, the sharp dental tooth that a dentist uses to scrape a softer tooth structure to assess tooth hardness. You may not want a dentist to scrape a tooth if you want the tooth to self heal. Once tooth structure is removed by a dentist it does not grow back. Only natural cavities can heal. You can tell a dentist to use only their eyes and light to get their opinion, but no manual or electric tools.
If any procedure is recommended to you, you should never agree to anything on the spot. Some unethical dentists will use cheap sales talk like ‘you can lose the tooth’ if you do not consent to their procedure on the spot. As in any medical situation, a person should never agree to any procedural work the same day of a consultation. You should go home and do basic research to see if that dental treatment recommended is what you want. You can never undo permanent dental work. You can research easily by getting second and third opinions and by watching on Youtube videos of dentists doing the recommended treatment so you have more information on what is involved. You should also research risks to the recommended treatment.
Sealants are a toxic solution layer placed on the grooves of a permanent tooth to ‘protect’ the tooth. It’s counterintuitive, it’s essentially putting a layer of body poison to ‘protect’ the tooth. Dental sealants are a scam at best. They are toxic at worse because of their harmful ingredients in the mouth. They do not prevent cavities obviously (because cavities have an internal cause, not an external cause).
X-rays are ionizing radiation that cause DNA cell damage thyroid and other cancers (the thyroid is in the neck that is why dental lead guards are supposed to be closed at the neck). According to Dr Robert Mendelssohn, X-rays cause Down Syndrome children to be born. You can try to find a dentist who will not require it when you want to switch out an unsafe filling for a better filling. Also X-ray machines vary greatly in amounts of radiation. Older machines usually give off much more radiation than newer machines. And there are certain specialty dental machines that give off very little radiation. You can find out the amount of radiation by getting the company and model number of the machine. As with any radiation machine, there is the risk that it can malfunction and give off massive amounts of radiation.
Since US dentists need to follow ‘standards of care,’ many are afraid of risking their license, and will not work without an X-ray. X-rays are there to protect the dentist from liability, not to protect your health. There are many dentists in the US that will work without an X-ray. Especially, if a woman says that they are pregnant or might be pregnant. It is dangerous to X-ray a pregnant woman as it can cause birth defects. It is very easy to find a dentist in Mexico or outside the US who will work without an X-ray. You just need to make sure they are qualified through IAOMT or a biomimetic course.
It is a very unsafe to bring a child to a dentist.
Any drilling on a child’s teeth will cause them to have tooth problems later in life. Many dentists will take advantage of a child’s brand new teeth and drill into them to beef up their insurance reimbursement. Drilling perfect kids’ teeth is what causes people to need crowns and lose their teeth when they are middle-aged. Drilling and breaking into teeth does not ‘save the teeth!’ A child should never be X-rayed. They are much more sensitive to x-ray exposure than adults. Also, an X-ray machine gives off the same radiation to a child as it gives off to an adult, but because of the size difference, a child is absorbing many more times the radiation in an x-ray. More modern machines have settings for children. A child can be exposed to radiation from someone else being X-rayed in the next room. X-rays go further than the X-ray room.
There is no simple solution to finding a good dentist.
It is best to stay far away from one.
A very important tool, which can be purchased on Amazon, are dental mouth mirrors, a pack of a few small narrow mirrors that you can use two at a time to be able to see any area in your own mouth. This helps you assess and then take care of your own body, without having a third party (a dentist) tell you what is going on in your own mouth. You can also buy on Amazon for less than ten dollars a dental kit of 6 basic tools to be able to assess your teeth.
Oil pulling is a very effective and gentle way to clean teeth, unless you have silver amalgams. Oil pulling will draw mercury from it which is not safe. Oil pulling is an ancient way of cleaning teeth. You put a spoonful of coconut oil with no added water on the tongue and then swish for a minute. Then spit into the garbage, not the sink, because oil is not good for pipes.
For tooth pain, rub a bit of clove essential oil to the gum/tooth. (Diluted clove is also good for teething babies). A tiny bit goes a long way. This is while also changing the diet to remineralize the teeth. Then take a drink or rinse with coconut oil because it’s very spicy. Myrrh or rosemary essential oils or propolis tincture can be used on a canker sore.
For a mouth infection (works for any other skin infection too) you can put a bit of manuka essential oil. For inflammation, you can use turmeric oil. Most dentists think an infected tooth needs to be pulled out. Would you remove your toe if your toe was infected? The tooth is a living organ, it can self heal from an infection. Dentist have no idea how to help a tooth infection.
Gum disease can be caused by certain medications like birth control pills, defective dental work, mouth breathing, smoking, autoimmune disease, hormonal changes and nutritional deficiencies and should be addressed at its root cause. The gums are not ‘defective’ and they will self-heal like any other part of the body if the cause is resolved.
Toothpaste should not have the neurotoxin fluoride or any chemical detergent ingredients you can’t pronounce or don’t know exactly what they are. Fluorosis is white or brown spots on the teeth from high levels of fluoride in the body. Redmond Earthpaste is a brand with clean ingredients. You can clean teeth with dipping a wet toothbrush into some pink salt or baking soda or plain coconut oil (and can add peppermint and or clove essential oil for flavor). Using plain baking soda is a great whitening agent. You can buy essential oils on vitacost.com or Whole Foods. It is best if they are organic. It is important to check ingredients to make sure that the oil isn’t a blend or diluted with a carrier oil, so it is a pure essential oil. Aura Cacia is a good brand you can buy in Whole Foods. Famous herbalist Michael Moore has a known herbal tooth powder recipe that anyone can make themselves.
The waterpik is dangerous and will cause softer teeth to crack and crumble.
Oil pulling is a gentle way of cleaning teeth. Floss cuts the gums but floss tape is ok to use, but unnecessary. Floss tape is much thicker and won’t cut the gums. Regular floss has toxic chemicals like PFASs, which cause cancer. Dessert Essence is a better brand for floss. An electric toothbrush is also unnecessary.
Teeth don’t need fancy mechanical equipment to clean properly.
What is a good dentist?
Instead of a dentist on every street corner damaging perfectly good teeth, there should be one or two dentists per city for emergencies in case a person’s tooth broke in an accident. And this good dentist would repair it without removing any more tooth structure and with materials that are not toxic.
A good dentist would swap out a silver amalgam filling without an X-ray and without removing any more tooth structure using non toxic materials.
A good dentist will have basic herbal medicine knowledge to help a person with herbs for tooth pain or infection instead of advising a person to destroy the tooth.
A good dentist would advise a person on how to change their diet so a natural cavity can self heal and will help monitor the cavity as a person improves the diet.
A good dentist would help a person with a tooth that has a filling that got loose and replace it without an X-ray and without removing more tooth structure or going to the next level of more invasive dental interventions.
A good dentist would never ever drill into a sound tooth that looks and feels ok because an X-ray was interpreted as the tooth being ‘amiss.’ Would a person ever remove a toe that looks and feels fine even though an ‘X-ray’ someone interpreted it as ‘not ok?’
A good dentist would never use a drill on an actual tooth. A good dentist would use a drill to remove a metal filling but would be very careful to make sure the drill does not touch the tooth itself.
A good dentist would not remove tooth structure to put on cosmetic veneers.
If you are very informed about dentistry, you can probably guide a local uninformed dentist who you find to be ethical to follow these principals to get the work you need done safely on your terms.
