Root Canal Treatment in Berkeley Heights, NJ | Holistic Dentistry
What Is A Root Canal?
A Root Canal-Treated
(RCT) or root-filled tooth is one in which the dental nerve, commonly called the pulp, is intentionally removed and is filled with an inert material called gutta-percha.Once an RCT is performed, the tooth must be restored with a post and a crown. These will strengthen the tooth and prevent a crack or fracture from developing after treatment. A good analogy is a tree branch. When it’s alive, it flexes or bends when pressure is applied. On the other hand, a dead branch, like an RCT, will break under the same stress.
What Are The Pros And Cons Of Root Canals?The pro of a root canal is obvious: the painful or dead tooth is treated and extraction is avoided. But we must ask two key questions before starting a root canal.
Can the tooth be restored?
Can a predictable RCT be performed, or are there risks for a poor result?
Research has found four major causes of root canal failure:
Tooth or root fracture
Infections including bacteria (primarily enterococcus fecalis, etc), viruses, and fungus (candida, etc).
The body’s reaction to root canal materials, microorganisms, and cements which inadvertently are pushed past the tooth into the bone.

Effective Mercury Toxicity Treatment in NJ/NYC
Many patients have heard the term “mercury toxicity” associated with fillings but still have many questions about it: what is it, am I affected by it, and what can be done to remediate it?Fillings are made of a substance called dental amalgam. This is a mixture of metals, consisting primarily of mercury. Mercury amalgam has been used as a dental filling material around the world since ancient times and in the United States for nearly 200 years.
Mercury toxicity, also called mercury poisoning, is caused by a high level of mercury in the body. The presence of mercury has been shown to cause wide range of chronic and acute health problems affecting all major systems in the body; neurological, gastrointestinal, immune, and cardiovascular problems have been attributed to mercury toxicity, as has damage to major organs such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs.The question of whether or not mercury amalgam fillings contribute to mercury exposure is hotly debated.
Many dentists believe that amalgam fillings, in use for more than 150 years in this country, are safe and that only a small percentage of the population shows a sensitivity to mercury in fillings. This is the position of the American Dental Association (ADA); however, the organization also supports ongoing research to assure the safety of all materials used in dental work.
Many toxicologists associate great risk with the use of mercury amalgam fillings. One researcher, Andrew Cutler, has argued that “millions of people are being poisoned by mercury compounds the medical profession is exposing them to.”
Even among the doctors and researchers who agree that the use of mercury amalgam is problematic, there is debate about whether the preferred option is safe amalgam removal or leaving existing amalgam in place. Among the latter, common arguments against the procedure include:
All the mercury has already leaked out.
Additional tooth structure will be lost by removing existing dental work.
The patient will be exposed to toxic levels of mercury vapor being released as the fillings are drilled out.
There are risks associated with removal of mercury amalgam fillings, ranging from damage to teeth to neurological, immunological, detoxification, digestive, and endocrine disorders. The very act of amalgam removal can increase mercury exposure to both patient and dental staff. Because of this possibility, dentists who specialize in this practice must receive training in safe mercury removal.Current standards for dental education do not include instruction for safe amalgam removal. To receive training in proper removal of amalgam fillings (to protect patient and staff from mercury vapor), dentists receive training from any of several postgraduate institutions, including the Holistic Dental Association and the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.
Governmental entities have issued certain guidelines regarding the use and discarding of mercury in dental facilities. For example, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection operates the Dental Amalgam Program,which contributes to significant reductions in the discharge of mercury into the environment. Additionally, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issues compliance standards for medical and dental offices regarding the use of mercury; however, OSHA standards regulate the protection of dental staff but not patients.
Our next article details the symptoms of mercury toxicity and how mercury is introduced into the body.The comprehensive protocols established by
The Center for Systemic Dentistry
ensure a thorough process for safe amalgam removal.

Dr. Philip Memoli - Holistic Pediatric Dentistry NJ
Pediatric tooth decay is on the rise. Some research suggests that systemic causes—including radiation exposure, hormonal abnormalities, and foreign proteins in food—are to blame. Hypomineralization, caused mainly by a diet inadequate in minerals, increases a child’s susceptibility to decay.
Tooth decay in children falls into distinct categories:
Baby teeth versus adult teeth
Anterior (front) vs. posterior (back) tooth patterns
Contra-lateral tooth patterns
Decay clustering
Post-eruption susceptibility
A pediatric dental wellness program helps your child to learn the lessons of proper health maintenance and nutritional habits that prevent dental disease. You can bring your child for his or her first dental exam after all the baby teeth are in—generally, between ages three and five Our pediatric wellness program
begins with a three-part, comprehensive exam that checks tooth diagnosis, jaw development diagnosis, and periodontal diagnosis.
The tooth diagnosis assesses tooth development, tooth mineralization, and decay development.
The jaw development diagnosis examines jaw development and alignment of the teeth.
The periodontal diagnosis is an examination for teen gingivitis.
The purpose of pediatric wellness is to prevent dental disease in children. Such dental afflictions occur in five stages:
Stage I examines the underlying causes of a child’s dental problems.
Stage II looks for oral susceptibility to dental diseases in teeth, gums, and jaw.
Stage III looks for the initial indicators of dental disease.
Stage IV is the oral-systemic metastasis stage, when dental problems have progressed to a more serious level.
Stage V is when systemic manifestations of dental disease occur, which may be either lymphatic or obstetric in nature.
Dr. Philip Memoli and his staff are ready to repair the damage caused by childhood dental problems and ensure that our pediatric patients are committed to maintaining healthy teeth as they grow.

Best Laser Root Canal Alternative Treatment for Call us (908) 464-9144 | NJ 07922
A root canal-treated (RCT) or root-filled tooth is one in which the dental nerve, commonly called the pulp, is intentionally removed and is filled with an inert material called gutta percha.
WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF ROOT CANALS?
The pro of a root canal is obvious: the painful or dead tooth is treated and extraction is avoided. But we must ask two key questions before starting a root canal.
Can the tooth be restored?
Can a predictable RCT be performed, or are there risks for a poor result?
The cons or risks with an RCT are less obvious. They center on the fact that a tooth is an “open” biological system which interacts with the body. In other words, anything placed into the tooth will eventually find its way into the body and may interact with a susceptible cell or organ.
WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS ONCE A ROOT CANAL IS INEVITABLE? It’s important to understand that all teeth problems are unique. No treatment is universal. Individual circumstances may dictate that a specific treatment is not an option. Or perhaps one option will offer a superior result over another.

Can the tooth be restored?
Can a predictable RCT be performed, or are there risks for a poor result?
How is a root canal properly diagnosed?
A root canal is a treatment, not a diagnosis. Good dentistry, like good medicine, starts with a proper diagnosis of the tooth.
Some dentists argue that a diagnosis is academic and a waste of a patient’s time. The result is always the same, they say, a root canal. However, establishing a true diagnosis of tooth pain may avert an unnecessary root canal of an otherwise healthy tooth.
Other causes of tooth pain, other than those listed above, can include decay, bite trauma, bruxism, referred pain, nerve disorders and cracked teeth. These causes result in various effects, such as tooth nerve infection, inflammation and ischemia.
What are my options once a root canal is inevitable?
It’s important to understand that all teeth problems are unique. No treatment is universal. Individual circumstances may dictate that a specific treatment is not an option. Or perhaps one option will offer a superior result over another.
The
root canal is a three-step procedure
. Failure to follow all three steps may result in tooth loss. First, the dentist must remove the nerve from the root system and seal the space with an inert material called gutta percha. Second, a post-core must be placed to prevent root fracture. Third, a crown should be added to prevent fracture of the tooth.
What is the success rate of root canals and what constitutes failure?
With recent improvements in technology, root canal success rates are estimated between 86% and 98% that means that as many as one tooth in seven may be classified as a root canal failure. In addition, many of those failures are chronic, that is, producing no radiographic signs or pain symptoms to indicate failure.

Effective Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Treatment in NJ | Dr. Philip Memoli
When the element mercury accumulates to a high concentration in the body, it can lead to a variety of acute and chronic medical problems, including organ damage and compromise of major bodily systems.
Dentists who focus on safe amalgam removal must receive specialized training in the practice; they also follow government guidelines for containment of mercury vapor during the procedure and disposal of mercury-containing materials afterward.
The symptoms of mercury toxicity are manifold; poisoning from the element can affect every part of the body, including the neurological, central nervous, gastrointestinal, immune, neuromuscular, and cardiovascular systems, as well as major organs, such as the brain, liver, and kidneys.
Multiple medical studies report that the effects of mercury toxicity can be mitigated and often reversed when proper procedures are implemented to remove the sources of mercury poisoning in the body. The most common source of mercury entering the body is from mercury fillings, suggesting that a safe, comprehensive protocol of mercury amalgam removal and replacement can lead to a marked improvement in health.
A patient coming to The Center for Systemic Dentistry will be the recipient of a state-of-the-art protocol for safe removal of mercury amalgam. A comprehensive initial dental exam and systemic assessment determine the extent of mercury damage.

Holistic Pediatric Dentistry Treatment NJ/NYC
Childhood, when permanent teeth began to grow, is the best time to teach youngsters good oral hygiene habits and how to make wise nutritional choices. By learning how to prevent compromising the enamel, the hard substance that covers teeth, children can minimize and perhaps prevent the dental problems that plague many adults.
To this day, there is disagreement in the dental community about the precise cause of tooth decay. The most widely accepted theory is that decay is a local phenomenon, caused when mouth bacteria consume sugar and excrete acid, which begins to decay enamel.
Pediatric tooth decay is on the rise. Some research suggests that systemic causes—including radiation exposure, hormonal abnormalities, and foreign proteins in food are to blame. The systemic theory of decay suggests that other factors become relevant only after hypomineralization has begun.
Tooth decay in children falls into distinct categories:
Baby teeth versus adult teeth
Anterior (front) vs. posterior (back) tooth patterns
Contra-lateral tooth patterns
Decay clustering
Post-eruption susceptibility
