 In today's modern
society numerous environmental toxins are experienced and human exposure is
sometimes unavoidable. Where prudent avoidance is possible, we encourage our
patients to adjust their life-style to minimize exposure to these environmental
toxins.
For over
45 years it has been the focus of Dr. Armand V. DeFelice DDS, his associates
and staff to assist the patients of DeFelice Family Dentistry by
minimizing potential
dental
toxins in the controllable environment.
Those of
primary concern to DeFelice Family Dentistry are the dental toxins of
mercury and
fluoride that the majority of Americans are exposed to
daily on a 24/7 basis.
 Dental fluorosis is
an irreversible condition caused by excessive ingestion of fluoride during the
tooth forming years. It is the first visible sign that a child has been
overexposed to fluoride. Fluoride causes dental fluorosis by damaging the
enamel-forming cells, called ameloblasts. The damage to these cells results in
a mineralization disorder of the teeth, whereby the porosity of the enamel is
increased and the mineral content decreased. Select this link for

information about fluoride toxicity.
Mercury
has long been known to be a major factor in the development of neurological
diseases and impacts to the human body immune system.
 A
landmark study by Dr. Mady Hornig, from the Mailman School Of Public Health,
Columbia University, confirmed worries about mercury impacts. Hornig injected a
strain of mice with genetic tissues similar to those found in children with
mercury-laden vaccines equivalent to what kids got in the 1990's. The mice
developed profound brain problems. Hornig observed a behavior in mice that in
humans is called autism? Dr. Hornig stated: "All sorts of strange behaviors
that were repetitive in nature, where animals would just keep repeating the
same behavior in a very stereotyped fashion." It wasn't just repetition --
the mice withdrew from their surroundings like autistic children. They resisted
change and developed brain abnormalities affecting emotion and thinking, also
like autistic children.
A similar
mercury element to those utilized in these vaccines is also a key component in
dental
amalgam fillings. It is one of the most neurotoxic substances known to man
and yet we still find it's use prevalent today for a variety of
product
applications.
Early on
in his dental career, Dr. DeFelice discovered that even though steps to limit
further exposure to were taken, that many times the impacts from the previous
exposure continued. This is due to the fact that the body requires certain
natural nutrients and elements to properly detoxify its from heavy metals
toxicities. After 45 years of experience Dr. DeFelice now employes one of the
most effective natural nutritional regiments that greatly enhance the human
bodies ability to consistently purge itself from these many toxic
encounters.
Our
patients gain important knowledge and information on how to best maintain a
healthy dental and physical life-style. They frequently see vivid changes in
various symptoms and body function after following Dr. DeFelice's recommended
treatment. Therefore we believe that the experience at DeFelice Family
Dentistry will provide all of our patients many life-long benefits in
maintaining their health.
