Today we'll tackle a difficult topic with you.

The nerves from our teeth are connected directly to the brain, and each tooth has an energetic connection to different organs and functions in the body. Imagine what a root canal, mercury fillings, and or fluoride in a person's mouth will do to a brain when they're connected like this... 

  

They're just teeth, they said. Fillings from amalgam, containing bisphenol A have no impact on the central nervous system, they said...

These are amalgam (mercury) fillings. Many are very interested in this topic and many worry about their health and the health of their children because of them.

What is dental amalgam?

Dental amalgam is a material produced for the restoration of permanent teeth affected by caries or injuries caused by trauma. It is used for filling dental cavities after the dentist has removed the decaying tooth tissue.

The good mechanical properties of dental amalgam - its ability to suppress the growth of bacteria, simplicity of application, and low cost - have made it a popular material in dentistry.

The most commonly used over the last 150 years, it consists of several metals. Primarily, this is mercury, about 50%, silver, copper, tin, and sometimes zinc. To improve the properties of the mixture, other materials are usually added, such as beryllium (toxic and very reactive metal), palladium, indium, or platinum.

There are also other types of amalgams, but they are rarely used.

For example, these are precious metal alloys based on gold, platinum, and titanium, semi-precious alloys based on silver and palladium, or even non-precious alloys based on steel or cobalt. Now we will only discuss dental mercury amalgam

Mercury

This is an element found in several possible chemical forms. Mercury occurs in inorganic form or as mercury organic compounds.

The inorganic form includes mercury and its salts, such as, for example, oxides and sulfides.

It also includes the metallic form of mercury under the name Hg, which is an abbreviation from the Latin 'Hydrargyrum,' meaning liquid silver. It is this chemical form that is used here.

The toxicity of mercury is especially high during the placement or removal of amalgam due to the vapors released from it, which are extremely volatile

After the installation of a filling, even during its use (chewing, grinding), mercury is also constantly released. It is a "heavy" metal according to the classification of Mendeleev, which very easily mixes with other inorganic and organic metals or molecules.

One of the advantages of mercury, besides its liquid state, is that it is the only metal which, as is well known, possesses this property at 0 °C. Consequently, it allows dental amalgam to be malleable and ensures the perfect filling of teeth, but it needs to be placed in a cavity with a fairly wide base, which means that more of the organic material has to be removed than when using composite material.

The hardness of the mercury amalgam and its hermeticity guarantee the filling of a tooth for about twenty years, and sometimes even longer.

However, because this type of amalgam is harder than the tooth, if the amalgam is large, it can cause fractures. In most cases, after a fracture, it is necessary to remove the tooth and, possibly, install a crown. This does not go without consequences, as the removal of a tooth can sometimes lead to damage to the bone located below the affected tooth, for example, to cavitation or osteonecrosis. Infection of this type can also spread to other adjacent teeth.

Another detail is that mercury amalgam remains quite unattractive as a material due to its gray color.

What does the French law tell us?

France consumes the most dental mercury in all of Europe, about 17 tons per year! Today, treatment of cavities is carried out with mercury amalgam in 3 out of 4 cases!

The toxicity of mercury has been known since ancient times, so it is quite legitimate to question why mercury amalgam was still introduced at the beginning of the 19th century.

As mentioned in previous stories, the quality of mercury and, in particular, its low cost compared to gold, which was used as a material before this, convinced the authorities and professionals to use it without any special precautions.

On September 17, 2016, an amendment was introduced in the Senate aimed at banning the use of dental amalgam in France from January 1, 2017. Unfortunately, it concluded unfavorably because the "Minamata Convention on Mercury," signed in 2013, envisages the ban of products and processes using mercury, by 2020. Thus, the ban was only introduced in 2020

Substitute Materials

To replace mercury amalgam, many laboratories offer dental composites or resins. These are organo-mineral materials, consisting of resin and a hardener.

Currently, there are about 200 different composites offered by 42 manufacturers. Considering their number, the list cannot be exhaustive. However, most of them are created from a mixture of monomers based on bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA), co-monomers, catalysts, and various other additives.

The first advantage of composite is aesthetic. Indeed, its color, matching the color of the tooth, is an important advantage. The tooth is processed faster than with mercury amalgam and does not require undercutting, leaving more of the tooth material intact. This simplifies the treatment of small areas of decay without enlarging them, as is the case with the use of mercury amalgam.

The most popular method of treating composite materials today is polymerization, caused by the action of blue light, and usually, one session is enough to treat a carious lesion.

However, dental composite has its drawbacks. Firstly, its installation is not as durable, and it needs to be replaced approximately every 10 years because it is less strong than mercury amalgam.

It should also be noted that during the polymerization, the composite undergoes shrinkage of about 3%, which means that a gap can form between it and the tooth, which may result in a crack that risks allowing bacteria to penetrate, causing caries

Another serious drawback, as mentioned above, is that the composition of these new materials is quite complex. Some of them consist of already-known toxic products. This is, for example, the case with the composite Bis-GMA, which partially consists of Bisphenol A, recognized as an estrogen-like endocrine disruptor.

Bisphenol A was banned in the production of children's bottles in 2010, then, in 2012, in the production of any packaging, container, or dishes that come into direct contact with food products. Bisphenol A is even more dangerous in composites because its absorption at the level of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity is 100 times higher than at the level of digestion during eating.

As for the cost, the material of composites, by general acknowledgment, is more expensive than the material of mercury amalgam. But if the cost of processing mercury waste is taken into account, composite is actually cheaper.

 

Consequences for human health

 

Spontaneous reactions

Although some doubt the toxicity of dental mercury amalgam to the organism as a whole, all agree with its possible local and allergic effects that occur after its placement.

The local effects that can occur after the placement of mercury amalgam are mainly associated with the phenomenon of oral galvanism. This is an electrochemical reaction that can occur between different metals or alloys placed in the patient's mouth.

These metals will have different electric potentials, which leads to the formation of a galvanic current of very low voltage and the release of metal ions. Symptoms of electrogalvanism are diverse: metallic taste, burning sensation, disturbance in saliva secretion, a sensation of electric current, or other pain localized in the amalgam.

"Allergic reactions occur in two stages: the sensitization phase and the trigger phase.

The first occurs upon the organism's first contact with an allergen. Then B-lymphocytes produce specific antibodies that are ready to intervene and cause an allergic reaction when the allergen reappears.

The trigger phase corresponds to the organism's second contact with the same allergen or a component of this allergen. Then the allergen is captured by antibodies which causes the synthesis and release of a chemical mediator, histamine.

This leads to a hypersensitivity reaction and various symptoms, such as eczema, facial swelling, swelling in the mouth, or lichenoid lesions. (I developed psoriasis after the placement of amalgam fillings in France).

Electrogalvanism and allergic reactions occur rarely and arise immediately or within two days after the dental filling. Some reactions resolve on their own or require the intake of specific medications for this reaction.

In most cases, it is necessary to even replace the amalgam with another material to stop these valuable reactions. However, these lesions are not specific to mercury amalgams and can occur upon contact with other materials.

P.S. The reactions I describe with the placement of amalgam fillings can occur with any type of heavy metal poisoning.

Long-term reactions: serious disorders and diseases

Mercury is soluble in water and fats and can also bind with other molecules. It is transformed in our body into two forms of excessively toxic organic substances: methylmercury and ethylmercury. These two organic forms of mercury penetrate through the blood-brain barrier and are toxic to the central nervous system.

Diagnosing mercury poisoning by measuring levels in the blood or urine is difficult because mercury, if not removed, is found in tissues. Thus, chelation therapy is the most reliable.

Therefore, a study published in 1999 showed that mercury levels in the tissues of people who have had amalgam fillings were 2-12 times higher than in those who had not.

After the installation of dental mercury amalgam, many serious disorders and diseases can arise, but this is not systematic.

The WHO Department of Public Health and Environment considers mercury in teeth to be a major source of human mercury exposure. However, many dentists stubbornly do not warn their patients about possible side effects.

I want to share my personal experience. Several years ago, during a visit to the dentist, I asked my dentist which type of amalgam he was going to use. I asked him whether its composition was dangerous and if it could have any side effects on me, and he replied that he had been using amalgam for 40 years and that current rumors of its toxicity were unfounded. When I asked him about which studies he was referring to, he had no idea.

Of course, I didn't get the amalgam fillings for myself and left the office. Considering all of that, a couple of years ago I had them removed.

Mercury is neurotoxic and affects the functioning of the brain.

It can disrupt or paralyze nerve impulses, particularly by acting on receptors. Among the diseases that are most suspected of being caused by mercury absorption are Alzheimer's disease, autism, and multiple sclerosis.

For instance, in the case of Alzheimer's disease, the only industrially developed country where the incidence of the disease remains at a much lower level is Japan, a country where dental amalgam is very rarely used.

Another clue: we know that mercury vapors when inhaled in large amounts, cause an olfactory deficit. This symptom often occurs first in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

Causal relationships are difficult to establish because even the traces of mercury present in the brain of patients can provoke earlier-described diseases, and as we know, not only from amalgam can a person get mercury. For example, Bilal only gets it from gelatin, which includes a process in its state, and intoxication in his case is high, so the only way to definitively remove it from the body is chelation therapy, which in his case takes several years. Nothing else affects him, except for this.

However, when the etiology of a neurological disease causes doubt, whatever it may be, the trace of mercury poisoning should be used, not ignored!

Another example of a disease where mercury is considered to play a role is autism.

This is one of the most common diseases in recent years, and it is not related to improved diagnostics! In ten years, the number of autism cases has increased by 10-15 times depending on the city, and even if mercury, contained in vaccines, will be the most likely cause, dental amalgam will be an aggravating factor. But mercury or aluminum poisoning a child can receive not only from vaccines or amalgam, from the environment, from the mother, from jars of baby food, washing powders, etc.

Many symptoms of mercury poisoning resemble the symptoms of autism. For example, at the neurological level, we find sensitivity to sounds, even loss of hearing, abnormal sensations in the mouth and extremities, difficulties with chewing and swallowing, aversion to food, disturbances of visual-motor coordination, etc.

Mercury is also nephrotoxic, affecting the kidneys. In fact, if too much mercury is found in the blood, its excretion by the organism is complicated due to various factors such as CVD, poor nutrition, etc., and it is deposited in the walls of blood vessels and kidney cells, causing kidney infections.

Mercury is also known as an endocrine disruptor and affects hormonal balance. It affects the thyroid gland, the adrenal glands, and the reproductive system.

Thus, in people with mercury poisoning, one can observe breast swelling, abnormal menstrual periods (amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea...), infertility, or even diseases of the thyroid gland. And this list is far from exhaustive.

Constant exposure to low doses of mercury, for example, released by dental amalgam, is considered a possible cause of certain autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus.

Recent research has shown that mercury and ethylmercury are capable of suppressing the first stage (phagocytosis) of innate and acquired immune responses in people at very low doses. This shows that the effect of mercury below average, caused by dental amalgam, can cause immune disorders at any age.

People from high-risk groups

Important genetic variability determines the detoxification capabilities of each individual. But apart from the genetic factor, some people are more prone than others to mercury poisoning from dental fillings, from the surrounding environment, or from administered drugs.

At the forefront, facing this mercury and its toxic vapors, are dentists and their assistants. They are exposed much more than patients, and according to research conducted in 2002 involving 170 dentists and 179 control group participants, diseases associated with mercury are much more common in this population. In particular, we find kidney problems, increased tenfold in dentists due to the nephrotoxicity of mercury, as well as fertility problems, increased threefold, caused by its endocrine disruptions.

According to the thesis of Doctor Valery Shaev, "In 1997, during an air quality conference in Brussels, the value of 1 microgram of mercury per cubic meter was retained as toxic for the impact on the environment over the course of a year. These are values to which dentists can easily be exposed, since we have estimated their professional exposure from 0.70 micrograms per cubic meter to 2.70 micrograms per cubic meter, depending on whether they work with amalgam or without it."

In January 2014, the Supreme Court of Norway recognized the claims of a dental assistant who had suffered mercury poisoning at the workplace as a result of multiple inhalations of mercury. This verdict in this direction was issued for the first time.

Although mercury poisoning from dental amalgam is not widely recognized among the general population, including dentists, its danger to pregnant women is well known. In fact, it is recommended that women who wish to become pregnant should receive dental care before getting pregnant.

The Afssaps report for 2005 noted that it is necessary to avoid the placement and especially the removal of mercury amalgam in pregnant or breastfeeding women due to the increased sensitivity of the fetus. In fact, when dental amalgam is placed or removed, mercury is released in the form of vapors which are then inhaled and enter the body mainly through the lungs via the alveoli and through the olfactory pathways. Elemental mercury enters the blood (80%), and then reaches the placenta. There it is oxidized to methylmercury, which, as we have seen, is a very toxic form of mercury. It accumulates in the placenta throughout the pregnancy.

It is assumed that this mercury impregnation of the placenta disrupts the secretion of hormones and enzymes, but also reduces the penetration of nutrients (glucose and amino acids) and oxygen into the fetal blood, thereby slowing down fetal growth.

A study conducted in 2007, which analyzed the results of tissue autopsies of fetuses and infants, showed that the concentration of mercury in their organs is proportional to the number of maternal amalgam fillings.

As soon as mercury enters the placenta, it gradually accumulates in the liver and kidneys of the fetus, as well as in its central nervous and neuroendocrine systems. The poisoning of the child will be even worse if he is breastfed with breast milk, which also contains this toxic mercury.

During pregnancy, the fetus is exposed to mercury poisoning. For example, when consuming hot drinks, mercury vapors are released every time, which then directly pass through the placental barrier to the fetus.

Nephrotoxic mercury is also dangerous for people with renal insufficiency or glomerulonephritis.

From Chat

"A month ago in France, they put an amalgam filling in [for me] "

"Urgently remove!"

"Like this. I'll give you the contact of a doctor who will remove it for you. They are still putting them in France to this day."

"They especially love to put them in children with disabilities, especially those with ASD, ADHD, and other neurological problems. If you look in the mouths of such children, they often have a lot of amalgam fillings."

"I have saved many children from this fate, warning parents about written refusal of amalgam. If you just verbally tell the doctor about it, he will say 'd'accord!' (okay) and still put it in! Only by written refusal can you guarantee yourself avoidance of amalgam."

"Some doctors do another trick. They put amalgam inside, and cover it on top with a poor filling! Be careful!"

Toxicity of mercury vapors that evaporate during the placement or removal of amalgam

Nevertheless, despite all the research proving the toxicity of mercury vapors that evaporate during the placement or removal of amalgam, or when using it in the mouth, the majority of practicing doctors do not take any safety measures during dental care. Although there are protocols that would significantly reduce the impact of mercury on them and on patients.

This is how things stand with the protocol described by IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology). It is recommended to perform the removal of amalgam while wearing a mask with activated charcoal for the patient and the doctor so that they do not inhale mercury vapors. The protocol also advises cutting the amalgam into pieces, not using a drill, and thoroughly rinsing the mouth and instruments immediately after removing the amalgam.

Only a few dentists are beginning to get equipped, and, according to my own research in my region of residence in France, only 1 out of many tens of dentists, whom I contacted, used the SMART protocol.

Chelation

Another method is the use of a chemical chelator called EDTA, DMPS, ALA (which penetrates through the rheumatoid barrier).

Dr. Melet, a French epidemiologist who, unfortunately, passed away in 2005, was a pioneer in the field of detoxification from mercury contained in dental amalgams, and helped many patients recover thanks to the use of chelators. However, this treatment must be carried out under strict control, as this powerful chemical chelator demobilizes mercury and other heavy metals, which must be carefully preserved, causing serious side effects.

Many of you have followed the chelation protocol according to Dr. Cutler. One of the most effective mechanisms of chelation. Also with the help of protocols with suppositories EDTA, ALA, Glutathione. These procedures can only be carried out under the supervision of a doctor experienced in this field.

Prevention Support in Naturopathy

The first step in naturopathy is prevention. The real solution to the problem of mercury amalgams is not to replace them with resins of dubious composition but to refuse them altogether. The main cause of caries is not bad hygiene, but a diet with a lack of essential nutrients.

We have long been convinced that careful cleaning of teeth in the morning and evening and the use of fluoride toothpaste prevent the occurrence of caries. The United States went so far as to fluoridate the water supply, and yet the incidence of dental diseases among their population only increases: congenital deformity of parts, orthodontic adaptations, and methods of treatment, periodontitis, gingivitis, oral cancer, etc.

The American Dental Association (ADA) and other organizations say that the cause of caries is the excessive growth of bacteria in the mouth, which release acids that attack the enamel. These are bacteria that feed on fast and slow sugars, so they must be destroyed with the help of chemical liquids for rinsing the mouth and other symptomatic means. However, when the organism is healthy, bacteria cannot multiply, as it has its own means of protection.

Teeth are bones; they reflect the general condition of our bones and skeleton. In Eastern medicine, which has been practiced for thousands of years, practitioners have studied the pulse, ears, tongue, and teeth. They are not independent of our body and are an essential part of it, but this 'detail' is often overlooked.

Teeth consist of calcium, magnesium, zinc, and protein, and if the diet does not provide all these essential nutrients, they suffer from these deficiencies.

Saliva is the first means capable of protecting our teeth from caries. Its quality is very important. It should be rich in minerals, and vitamins, and have a pH of 6.5, thus contributing to the remineralization of enamel and inhibiting the multiplication of bacteria.

Thus, healthy nutrition is the key to preventing caries. Moreover, it appeared only in the Neolithic era, along with the sedentary lifestyle of humans and their penchant for cereal cultures.

Food prepared at high temperatures, reheated meals, and filled with preservatives, colorants, and other additives only increase the number of tooth diseases.

A study conducted by Dr. Price 70 years ago among the indigenous populations around the world showed that people who continued to eat as they and their ancestors did maintain almost perfect teeth, while those who started eating Western industrialized products had problems with their teeth. And although they began to clean their teeth with toothpaste, it made their teeth cleaner but did not prevent the appearance of caries.

The only real solution to the problem of hair loss is to review our entire organism. We need a diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and bioavailable ferments, obtained from farm products and beekeeping, unrefined, non-industrial, such as fresh juices, raw dairy products, organic and even biodynamic fruits and vegetables, steamed or cooked on a low flame. Honey, pollen. Good oils, such as cod liver oil or unrefined vegetable oils from olive, rapeseed, walnut, etc. Of course, all these nutrients will be well absorbed if you have a healthy digestive system.

Removal of amalgam

As I wrote before, there are protocols available to practicing dentists to limit the harmful effects of exposure to mercury, which is contained in dental amalgams. Therefore, it is important to supplement the protocol that will be followed, the dentist should equip himself with the necessary equipment with the maximum precautionary measures.

There are already many protocols, and they vary depending on the practicing doctor.

I describe here the best way to reduce mercury intoxication during the removal of amalgam.

Attention

This is not about the detoxification protocol for heavy metals that are already in the body, which you would like to get rid of, but about protecting yourself with an additional layer of protection. Indeed, detoxification with the help of heavy metals can be dangerous and requires an individual approach, depending on the condition of your body, your susceptibility, and diseases, whether you have them or your patient.

Usually, the body can allow mercury to pass through, inhaling it, through the respiratory tract, or directly through the digestive tract.

There is also a very important nuance in mercury poisoning and its elimination. Some specialists reassure us, saying that the evaporation of amalgam is extremely minimal, or if it concerns other preparations, containing heavy metals, that the concentration is extremely small. The nuance is that just when such evaporation of microdoses, it is more toxic for the organism than poisoning with a large amount of the substance. Since during the poisoning with a high concentration, the body instantly identifies it, the immune system, and internal organs immediately react and eliminate the poisoning substance. But with evaporation, microdoses the body cannot remove and the immune system redistributes them in organs and tissues (if to explain in simple language).

Detox support.

Glutathione is a natural chelator synthesized by the liver and kidneys. It is a tripeptide that forms during the condensation of amino acids and it excretes from our body with bile or urine. Therefore, for Detox, a high level of glutathione is extremely important.

There are several ways to increase the level of glutathione.

Vitamin C in large amounts stimulates the liver's enzymatic system, increasing the production of glutathione. Alpha-lipoic acid, an antioxidant and protective agent for the liver, penetrates almost all tissues of the body and allows the processing of glutathione. Silymarin, an active ingredient of milk thistle, contributes to the purification and regeneration of the liver.

N-acetyl cysteine also increases the production of glutathione in the liver and, consequently, facilitates the removal of heavy metals contained in amalgam from the body.

Increasing the level of glutathione is not the only thing that needs to be done. Indeed, it captures mercury and other heavy metals, but then it should be able to direct them out of the body. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to restore healthy immune complexes so that they are ready to naturally vacuum any possible traces of mercury entering the body during the breakage or removal of an amalgam. Because even if mercury is excreted mainly through the kidneys, it is also found in stool, exhaled air, sweat, etc.

1. Start as soon as possible to limit inflammation of the gut, remove inflammatory products such as gluten or dairy products, and strengthen the gut flora by taking dairy-fermented products or directly probiotics to prevent the absorption of mercury, taking 1 capsule in the morning on an empty stomach.
2. Perform a liver-gallbladder flush, using dandelion extract: 10 ml before bedtime (or at least 2 hours after dinner) for 2 months to remove mercury that has already accumulated in the body and support the excretion of mercury. In other words, it is necessary to work with bile flow and liver support.
3. Perform physical exercises to expel toxins through sweat and breathing. It is also possible to do dry skin brushing to improve the circulation of lymph and the function of the sebaceous and sweat glands. If the health condition of the patient does not allow for physical exercises, the sauna would be a good alternative.
4. Take thistle extract: 10 ml on an empty stomach in the morning for 2 months, if possible, and until the amalgams are removed. Otherwise, an already saturated organism, receiving additional workload, will not be able to cope, and more or less serious symptoms of intoxication may appear.
5. 1000 mg of vitamin C per day, which has better bioavailability (sodium ascorbate, liposomal, acerola) than other forms of vitamin C. Take 1 capsule of 500 mg twice a day during breakfast and lunch. Vitamin C can also be obtained from food by consuming acerola, rose hips, parsley, broccoli, etc.
6. 1000 mg of N-acetyl cysteine per day in 2 doses during meals.
7. 1000 mg of alpha-lipoic acid per day, also in 2 doses during meals.
8. The diet should be especially rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega-3, 6, and 9. Avoid consuming fish that potentially contain mercury.
9. On the day of amalgam removal: increase the amount of activated charcoal: take 8 capsules 5 minutes before eating and 3 capsules before the next meal.
10. Drink plenty of water on the day of removal, carefully chewing water before swallowing, in small portions distributed throughout the day. Preferably, the water should be low in minerals, filtered water.

This protocol minimizes the risk of mercury entering the body provided that the preparation time is observed, and the period between setting or removing the mercury amalgam is from 2 to 3 months.

Those who follow this protocol for removing amalgam fillings with me do not have any negative symptoms.

If for some reason the intake of supplements is not accessible to you, drugs to support the liver and bile can be found in any pharmacy. However, a lot can be achieved with the help of diet, but it takes more time to achieve the desired result.

Prophylactic detoxification

This scheme is more prolonged than chemical detoxification, but it is more gentle and prevents too rapid release of mercury, as well as other heavy metals.

It is possible to add to each meal product with chelating fibers, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, in large quantities. Seaweeds are useful for gentle chelation (spirulina and chlorella from it).

In the diet, it is easy to add arugula, spirulina, or another salad from seaweed.

Such herbs as cilantro or garlic are also good ways to gently remove heavy metals.

You can also add sprouted wheat seeds, bee products, olive seeds, or even digestive juices containing chlorophyll, or buy chlorophyll itself.

Products containing selenium are also good chelators. Seeds of oil plants, seafood, fish (of small size, to avoid excessive exposure to mercury), mushrooms, meat, and legumes contain it.

As mentioned earlier, do not forget to consume omega-3, 6, and 9, eating small fish, such as herring, mackerel or sardines, rapeseed oil, walnuts, olives, arugula salad, etc. And also products rich in vitamin C.

Please note that there is no chlorella in the list. Indeed, its use can be too effective, and heavy metals are removed too quickly for the detoxification systems of the body. In addition, chlorella, a powerful chelator, has a tendency to demineralize the body, taking away useful minerals, not only heavy metals.

What conclusion can we make?

In case of proven intoxication with the presence of more or less significant symptoms, it is necessary to consult a specialist.

The toxicity of dental fillings from mercury amalgam in the environment is an established fact.

At present, numerous studies are being conducted to verify their real impact on the body, and while you are waiting for new confirmations from health authorities and scientific organizations, it is best to exercise caution in their use.

Diet - a foundation of many pathologies, caries is one of them.

It's time to switch to a policy of prevention, not just sticking with the habit of conducting only symptomatic treatment.
