BOOK REVIEW by Joan Viergutz 11/23/04

HEALTH CENTERED DENTRISTRY : The Missing Link To Optimal Health by Dr. Ingo Mahn.. C..2002, 4th edition.

NFA people understand that  disease in the oral cavity can indicate an unhealthy state in  other parts of the body. This 54 page booklet seeks to uncover what has gone awry to the saying, "DO NO HARM. The history of amalgam fillings, fluoridation of our drinking water and fluoride sealants are all dealt with and very specifically. For example&Mac226; .SILICA FLUORIDE which is used in 90% of the communities that fluoridate their water is much more toxic than the previously used SODIUM FLUORIDE from ALCOA and  the silica fluoride. ".HAS NEVER BEEN STUDIED FOR SAFETY BY THE FDA ! "

The ROOT CANAL DEBATE is also discussed. By and large , Dr. Mahn  proposes biological dentistry which takes into consideration the "MOUTH-BODY&Mac226; relationship and 'only performs dental procedures that are backed by scientific studies and evidence'. His dental procedures are well covered in his booklet.

Dr. Mahn is an accredited member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicolgy,  and a member of the Wholistic Dentist Ass&Mac226;n . He presently attends Capital University of Integrative Medicine.
